Does it really matter which semester I am in? I have heard the same thing from 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th semester students. I guess it's just a systemic infection in the nursing school. Have you applied other places? I'd recommend waiting to see if you get in, and find out what students say. That was my fault for not doing it with NMSU. If you read my post, I have a degree already so I am in the second degree program-Bye "schlgrl" and good luck-whatever you do.

Ajboujie : It's not the amount of work--it's not hard, and it's not the work that is the problem. It is the disorganization and lack of instruction. If you go anywhere else, with a reputation, you can see and feel the difference. it's just quality. Just putting it out there to other students who may be thinking of applying to NMSU. And, it not NMSU that is the problem, it's the School of Nursing that has a big problem. I'm just saying. It's my second degree, and I know what a quality education is, and this aint it!! However, if you went here because it was cheap, like I chose to, you have to stay and just get your degree. Yes, you're right, NCLEX pass rates are high--why else would I have chosen this school?? Everyone looks at those, but it doesn't mean **** if the school sucks and the teachers are bad. They pass because they make you take tests that are like NCLEX, but you get zip for instruction. You learn how to take tests at NMSU School of Nursing, and therefore pass NCLEX. It's a frustrating and painful experience. Nuff said.

I'm at NMSU now, and the program SUCKs! go, run, far, far away. seriously. the professors are 3rd or 4th rate, the curriculum is awful and they don't know how to teach. they're unprepared and it's a huge waste of time. I went here because it was cheap, but it's not worth it. RUN !!!!!!

Dude, I feel you. NMSU sucks hairy balls. I wish I had applied elsewhere and gone elsewhere, but now we're here and forced (in a way) to stay. Good luck.
