Practical Nursing, Vocational Nursing and Nursing Assistants at Remington College-Dallas Campus

Remington College-Dallas's nursing program produces earnings that lag dramatically behind what students should expect in Texas's strong healthcare job market. At $23,917 annually, graduates earn roughly half the Texas median of $46,004 for this credential—placing this program in the bottom 10th percentile statewide. Compare that to nearby Concorde Career College-Dallas, where similar program graduates earn $57,339, or even mid-tier Texas programs averaging over $45,000. Something appears fundamentally broken in how this program connects students to actual nursing positions.

The 92% Pell Grant rate signals that nearly every student here is from a low-income background, making these outcomes particularly troubling. While the $9,500 debt load is lower than many alternatives, earning less than $24,000 means graduates are barely scraping above poverty wages—far below what nursing credentials typically deliver in Texas. Even entry-level LVNs in the Dallas area should command $35,000-$40,000 minimum.

The small sample size means these numbers could shift with more data, but they're consistent with a pattern worth serious concern. Before committing here, parents should directly ask the school for job placement rates and investigate why their graduates earn so much less than peers at dozens of other Texas programs. At a minimum, compare financial aid packages from community colleges like Alvin or Angelina, where outcomes justify the investment far more convincingly.
