Thanks to all for your input and suggestions!

Miss Nurse, Thanks so much for your hopeful reply! I'm really glad to hear that there's a need for nurses in the Baltimore area. Were you working for the agencies w/o a BSN? Were the agencies...

Hi Maryland Nurses, I'm looking into working as a nurse in the Baltimore area as a brand-new RN grad from an out-of-state ADN program. Regionally, the program is well respected, but in MD, no one...

...in a nutshell, if you don't want to spend an extravagant amount of money and you have a high tolerance for disorganization/can roll w/ the punches, CNM is the way to go. I don't regret it.

CNM has a sophisticated SIM lab -- although, in my experience, it's not often used. The semester begins w/ some on-campus labs, but most of your time is spent doing the real thing: you're in the...

I can't recall exactly how long it was, but I think it was somewhere between 1-2 months. Also, I remember that they told us they'd let us know by a certain date...then rescinded and told us they...

Hi Donoharm, Ultimately, I decided to go to CNM, largely because I had already been living in ABQ for many years, and had other friends in various stages of the program. I figured that nursing...

In that case, I wouldn't sweat it! I don't know how much stiffer the competition is since I applied (not too long ago). I had a 98 on the HESI and a 3.8 prereq GPA, so very close to your numbers. I...

Rio Rancho is a mess of big box stores and cheap, cookie cutter housing. If that's your preference (and, for some, it is), then it may be a good place for you. If you seek more authenticity and...

I was accepted to CNM a while back. I don't recall how many points I was awarded, but if your GPA and HESI scores are impressive, you can feel confident about getting in. As you may know, CNM did...

Yahoo!!! I am an NYU grad and LOVE Steven Colbert! Did anyone see the interview w/ Anderson Cooper and the awesome nicu nurse in the purple hat? Loved it!

Hi Future Male Nurse, Congratulations-- and good question! What an exciting time for you. I'm a future lady nurse who was faced with the very same dilemma not too long ago. Ultimately, I...

Forget the Constitution. What does your gut tell you? What's the "right" thing to do? Access to health care, in my view, is less a political issue than a human issue. Would you refuse to treat a...

Dear CA Nurses, In your experience, what is the need for nurses in Northern CA? I'd imagine that supply meets demand in the immediate vicinity of SFO and the N. Bay area...or maybe that's not so?...

How kind and generous of you to share your experience! Thanks very much!

It does sound as though CNM's program has been suffering a lot of tumult lately, but inside sources tell me that the dust is settling and things are on the up and up. I also did my prereqs at CNM...

Thanks to all for your thoughts and advice! I was just accepted to an ADN program (which is well-reputed and tuition free, in another state), so I plan to do that, get work as an RN, and do an...

Magnoliophyte, thanks so much for your thorough and thoughtful response! I admit that this was the sort of response I had hoped for--one that wasn't thoroughly doom and gloom, but one that offered a...

This video is certainly amusing ("terrible places--like Texas!"), but it's terrifying, too. Terrifying for me, given I've been back in school for the last 3 years, taking prereqs to apply to nursing...

Thanks to all of you for sharing your advice and experience! This is hugely helpful, esp. to know that being enrolled in a higher degree program will make an ADN more employable. Really good info....

Hi MA Nurses, I grew up in the Boston area and have been living in a land far, far away for many years. I'm pining for my hometown these days and feel it's the right time to return. Here's the...

Hi Liane, Sincere apologies for taking such a long time to reply! At the moment, I'm working the hours of a nurse without actually being one. At least I know I'm cut out for 12+hour days! Six...

Hi nurselaine, It appears that because I'm a new member, I can't yet send private messages. Sorry! I'll just post my questions, instead, until I earn some allnurses credibility. Hope that's...

nurselaine, Thank you SO very much for your response. I'm thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience at SFCC (some bumps, I agree, are inevitable in any program) and that you have a job...

Hi, New Mexico Nurses (and Nursing Students): I'm looking for graduates or current students of the ADN programs at both CNM and SFCC (Santa Fe Community College) to pitch in their two cents...
