Any PIMA medical Students out there? Help

I am in block 5, but started there, because I am already an Lpn. Very difficult for me, tons and tons of reading and homework. Classes in Tucson are Mo 8a-12p, Tu 8a-430p, wed clinicals 0615-615p (but can be on Sundays), and Thu 8a-230p. Be sure you have plenty of time and DON'T work....

Hi Amanda. I'm not sure which campus you will be joining for the Pima nursing program, but I can tell you a little about the Mesa/Phoenix program. We start a new class in 2 weeks, and perhaps that is the group you will be in. There is an Ambassador program which you will be introduced to next week at your orientation. It pairs you up with a more senior student to give you advice and support. The faculty also are totally focused on your success and provide you all the support you can imagine. During your orientation next week, 7 current students will be there to talk with you and answer any questions, calm any fears, and congratulate you on your decision. It is a hard program. But you wouldn't want to take on the tremendous responsibilities of being responsible for someone's health and possibly life without knowing you had the utmost preparation possible. The true key to the difficulty of the work in the program depends on your commitment to doing what it takes to be the best RN, and your family's commitment to doing what they must to help you achieve that. I look forward to seeing you next week if you are joining the Mesa program, and wish you a successful path to your goal. We all, students and faculty, want you to succeed and work along side yor toward that end.

Congratulations for getting into PMI. I really think they have a great nursing program. I'm hoping to be accepted to the program in January. I believe my husband is in your class his name is Marty. I was really sad when I didn't get in with him in May but, I believe now it was meant to be because I am doing what I can to help Marty succeed. It really is an intense program but it works. I quiz him with NCLEX questions and I am amazed with just the few weeks he has been in the classes he has answered questions with 80-90% accuracy. Good luck to you and again, congratulations!
