Hey Paco69, thanks for the links however i am in AZ not NM.. so do you mind sending me the links for AZ? and thanks for keeping it real. I'm excited though. and pima community college has a year long waiting list, and the university's are bachelor degree programs.. i just need an associates to be an RN.. so that's why i settled on Pima medical institute because there's no waiting list and they have the associates program... SOOO i did do some research.. And also its not like i woke up one day and thought "hey, i think im gonne be a nurse" NO, my mother grandmother and grand father were nurses.. so its not something that just popped in my head.. its always been between teaching and nursing for a long time now.. however you did bring up a pretty good point.. that I'm being hasty.. but I'm excited to START!! can you blame me? and maybe i can do some more research, thanks for the advice! S
