Could use some help!

Just go to the Maine Medical Center website; mmc.org and also look for the Portland Adult Ed. website. MMC has a free day course if you pass the very basic test at the info session and get selected by interview, Adult Ed cost about $1000, but it's at night. I start in March at mmc and I'm sooooo excited! I just sold my house, changed careers after 20 years (Engineer to gonnabe a nurse), and moved to Maine!!! Good Luck!

I am in the MMC class right now and love it.

The next info session is Jan 28th for the March class. The TABE test you need to take is offered at 5, before the info session. Good luck!

You'll be fine just showing up. I'd show up around 4:30.

I'm hoping to get into the March program at MMC, too! I went to the info session in November, but haven't had my interview yet. They want you to have all your paperwork together and both of your references into their office before they schedule your interview. I made the mistake of asking two really busy people to provide references for me and they both took forever to sent their letters in!

The TABE was basic reading comprehension, so no real problem there.

I will be so happy to have my foot in the door at MMC. Clinicals start for me in September. A CNA job there will be job that I think I can fit in with school and hopefuly will help me get a job there after graduation.

Good luck!

I'm not sure the January info session is for March entry...since they already had one in November. You might want to call. Also, it should work to just show up, but they have a number they ask you to call and leave your name to let them know you're coming it case it gets full. Look under Education, then CNA training on the mmc.org website. You can also call the secretary of CNA training to make sure this info session isn't for next September. Again, good luck!

How is it going in Maine? I'm considering moving to Portland, ME, to begin my nursing career. I graduate in March. I came to Chicago from Bangor to go to nursing school. Are nursing jobs hard to come by in Portland right now?
