Pima Medical Institute Nursing

I was wondering if there are any nurses out there that graduated from PIMA medical institute?? I am due to start the program this October at the Albuquerque campus and would like to know what you thought about the program?? I know it doesn't transfer everywhere to get a bsn, but I'm really only interested in getting an ADN anyways. I recentley moved from out of state to live with my parents so that I can complete nursing school. Back home I have been waiting over 2 yrs to get into a nursing program and was working as a full time MA. I am glad they were able to get me in much faster and I believe the high tuition costs will definitley outweigh the weight I've had to encounter, but I want to know if this program is really trustworthy and how other nurses who went there liked it...any info will help greatly....Much Thanks:):)

I am not sure about the nursing program, but I went there way back in 1994 for medical assisting. I liked the program and the instructors were great. The only problem I ran into is since the program was put together in what was then called "mods" similar to a semester, none of my credits transferred when I went on for my LPN. Granted I went for my LPN in another state, so I am not sure if this would have been the case if I would have stayed in New Mexico.

I would ask and advisor any and all questions you may have. I am sure they can help. The best of luck with your decision.
