Certainly! Here are a few community colleges renowned for their nursing programs:

1. San Antonio College in San Antonio, Texas has a highly successful Registered Nursing program that prepares students for the NCLEX-RN licensing exam. You'll find solid student support services there, such as tutoring, mentoring, and career planning.

2. Helene Fuld College of Nursing in New York City offers an LPN to RN program that is well-regarded. It has a high success rate in terms of licensure pass rates and job placement.

3. Roxbury Community College in Boston, Massachusetts provides an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program with a strong curriculum and supportive faculty. The program also has an impressive pass rate for the NCLEX-RN exam.

4. Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, California's Registered Nursing Program offers both an ADN and LVN to RN Career Mobility program. Cuesta College nursing students consistently have high NCLEX pass rates and the program has a tradition of strong faculty-student relationships.

5. North Seattle College in Seattle, Washington has an LPN to RN program with high NCLEX pass rates. While it does not have a traditional ADN program, their program specifically aims to assist LPNs in progression to RN licensure.

Please note that while these are well-regarded programs, it's vital to consider factors like cost, location, and the fit for your personal and academic needs. Additionally, it's important to remember that nursing programs can be challenging to get into due to limited space and the competitive nature of the admissions process. Good luck with your future academic pursuits!
