My husband graduated from there and loved it. He wasn't in the Nursing Program but he said all of the instructors are good. I'd consider it if I were you.

I have a friend who is working there while she is in nursing school. She loves it. She gets paid pretty well too and she's not even a RN yet. I think she makes around 18-20/hr.

I've heard both good and bad things about GBMC. I guess it all depends on which department you work. I heard the E.R isn't great but a friend is doing an internship in the NICU and loves it.
