I have seen more than one post asking for information or opinions regarding good and/or inexpensive nursing programs in Texas. The program at Grayson County College meets both those criteria and has for many years. There is on-campus housing (rare for a junior college); the local area - Sherman/Denison - is a safe and inexpensive community for a young person to live in. The faculty/staff is very caring and supportive - I've had many high school students go on to GCC and become very successful.
(This is not a promotion - just an opinion from an old high school guidance counselor backing it up with current statistics

GCC nursing students excel on state examsBy Shelle Cassell -
Jan 22, 2008
The Grayson County College Associate Degree (ADN) and Vocational Nursing (VN) program faculty and recent graduates are celebrating a major milestone of having a 97 percent pass rate for each respective state licensing exam.
Seventy-six of the 78 May 2007 graduates of the ADN program took and passed the exam on their first attempt at taking the NCLEX-RN Examination. The 97 percent success rate is well above the state average of 89 percent.
Thirty-six of 37 students in the year-long Licensed Vocational Nursing program were successful on their first attempt at taking the NCLEX-PN Examination. The 97.6 percent pass rate was also above the state average.
