Hey guys sorry for asking another question. I live in New Mexico. We moved here 2 yrs ago from Vermont. I am looking at going to school for Nursing, but the college's near me are CNM and UNM Valencia campus. Valencia campus only admits 16 people a year to the program! And CNM has hundreds that apply and only 70 make it. I can't afford to move so I'm lost as to what I should do. I've been a stay at home mom for the last 10 yrs and have wanted to do nursing since high school. Are there any programs anyone knows of online? I'm sure there is not but I'm getting desperate lol. Also, where in the world do I find CNA training? I've called all over and no one has a answer lol. Thanks guys! 💗

You will not find a 100% online pre-licensure nursing program. They just don't exist- clinicals must happen with hands on experience. However, have you looked on the BON website for a list of approved programs? You may find that there are more programs near you. You can also use the search functions on ACEN and CCNE. You may need to sacrifice- a longer commute, being patient and waiting if you're waitlisted, or maybe even being willing to do a long distance thing where you go to school in one place where you stay for the week and then head home for weekends.
