Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing at Remington College-Dallas Campus

The $27,000 estimated debt load here—drawn from similar private institutions in Texas—sits right at the national median for nursing bachelor's programs, but what happens after graduation tells a more complicated story. Similar Texas nursing programs suggest first-year earnings around $77,000, which would make the debt manageable at a 0.35 ratio. However, this program shows actual reported earnings of $70,000 by year four, which is lower than the estimated first-year figure and trails the state median by about $6,500. That's unusual for nursing, where salaries typically climb in the early years rather than plateau or dip.

For a school serving 92% Pell-eligible students, nursing can be a reliable path to financial stability—but the numbers here suggest this particular program may not be delivering the same outcomes as its peers. The top-performing Texas nursing programs report first-year earnings pushing $90,000 to $96,000, while even mid-tier options cluster around $85,000-$88,000. The gap between those programs and the estimated outcomes for Remington-Dallas is significant enough to change the math on debt repayment and early-career financial security.

If your child is already enrolled or strongly committed to Remington-Dallas, the debt level itself isn't alarming. But the earnings trajectory deserves scrutiny—talk to current students and alumni about job placement, whether graduates are getting RN positions in competitive hospitals, and what's driving that year-four earnings figure downward.
