Pima Medical Insutitute

by crangel

I am considering Pima Medical for their nursing program due to the wait list. I am going to an info seminar on Dec 10th. Has anyone graduated from their? Can anyone give me any feedback on their program as far as the cost, class schedule, or their program in general. Thanks.

Its expensive. Its time consuming, its demanding and will push you to the brink... you will get out of it exactly what you put into it. They know what they are doing.... but its hard... a lot of work. Its fast paced. They will help you as much as you need and as long as it takes. They are interested in your sucess and ability to pass the NCLEX.... they are invested in you.... your biggest nightmare and greatest Ally.....
You will get a good education, and you will jump through hoops.... its sorta like mixing shool and military all in one!!

Thanks for the feedback. Did you attend school there? Did you like the program? Is it worth the money?

I did go there! I loved certain aspects of the program, I learned a TON, the education was dead on for the most part. Again, it is hard, and you will get out of it what you put into it. Some days, some of it was "hard to swallow" as far as the "hoops" but in the end, the education was there for the taking, and I learned everything I needed to obtain my license. The money, well most of it can be paid for through student loans... as for is it worth the 40k... well... time is money... if the CC has a huge wait list and PMI does not... well... time is money.. you could have your degree 2 years sooner, and be making MORE than the tuition costs during those 2 years... so that is a personal question.... time is money!!
