  2. Pima Medical Insutitute

    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...

    Add me to the list of "the Pearsonvue trick WORKS"!! I took my test on Thursday, when I walked out of the center I tried the trick on my phone, and I got a different message basically telling me it was too late to get a refund my test had started.. I...
  6. Pima has a very good program. It is VERY hard and demanding, and there is a LOT of work. There has been some changes in some of the staff- so they would be new to me, but they are very concerned with their students. This school is not into weeding pe...
  7. Pima Medical Institute has an agreement with Grand Canyon for an ASN to BSN bridge, they accept Pima's credits. I am not sure about anywhere else as far as credits. But I would hope that any school who has an RN to BSN program accepts the RN from Pim...
  8. Pima Medical Institute

    I was a student at PMI. It is a pretty good school. Like all programs it has it's ups and downs. The biggest complaint in my class was that everything was not "uniform". Some clinical groups had to do more paperwork than others, and were allowed to d...
  9. Research Papers?

  14. Taking the HESI entrance exam on Aug. 14th!!

    I can't help you with the A&P part, as the school I applied for did not use that part of the entrance exam (yeah me!!)! The res tof the test is pretty basic. The Hesi study guide is PERFECT for covering what is on the test!! The reading part gave...
