Thanks for the replies guys! I've only had clinicals at MMC so I have nothing to compare it with. It was fine, but the staffing on med-surg floors seemed a little high. It also seems like the pay in this region is below that of the rest of New Mexico. I might check out some hospitals in El Paso, but it would be a long drive on top of an already long shift.
Hi - I'm a nursing student at NMSU graduating in August and I'm wondering if anyone out there currently works (or has worked) at either MMC or Mountain View. I'm looking for info. on starting salaries, new GN programs, adequacy of preceptors, staffing ratios, etc. I'd really appreciate any info. you guys have to give!
