Hi all, I just got excepted to both SFCC and CNM's nursing programs. I got accepted to SFCC on my first attempt, and second attempt at CNM. I was wondering if anyone had any input or information on either program to make this decision easier. Futu...

Boards/NCLEX does it really matter... Congrats for passing. I've lived in New Mexico (ABQ) area all my life and until getting in the field had no clue about the hospitals and new hire policy. Hospitals like Pres, Lovelace, and Christus up in Santa ...
My first day is in the 22nd and I am very excited. I'm somewhat nervous but I guess that's what comes with not knowing what the program is gonna be like. Even more so pre-reqs were a drag and seemed to take so long... And the whole admission process ...
No I didn't take the practice test (TEAS) just kinda swung for the fences and passed. How did you do? I start @ SFCC on the 22nd... Anymore questions send them my way.
I start on the 22nd.... Picked my books up, wow thickest books I've ever owned. I spent about 4 hours entering my schedule into my calendar on my PC. I'm halfway through chapter 1 in fundamentals, hoping to get through chapter 4 before the semester s...
Great topic and I'm sorry that you have had this experience. It is a shame, but my hat is off to you. I'm an "experienced nursing student" myself. I start my program in a week. Your post has given me valuable knowledge on what NOT to be like. I'm and...
Very interesting and informative topic. I start my first semester of an ADN program and plan on working full time (48 hrs) a week. However the type of job is a major factor. I am a firefighter EMT so I'm fortunate enough to have a set Friday/Saturday...
Good luck with both your applications. The average TEAS score I believe is about a 70. I scored a 72, and a buddy of mine ( who also got in with about a 3.4 GPA) scored a 70

Just had my orientation today... Was a teaser... Got everyone excited but school doesn't start til Jan 22. It's gonna be 6 males out of 32.. My leaf instructor says "I'm glad we have males, they add excitement to the group"
Just gonna add to this but who cares what other people think. I'm a nursing student, but I know what I'll say. "I'm a nurse sucka... But ill always be a Marine!"
Thanks for your service brother. I'm a veteran Marine and have been using the Post 911 GI bill. And yes everyone's advice is good, however be aware of the college you choose. I know I took about 24 credit hours at "military friendly" schools that giv...
Hi... Thank you both for commenting on my topic. I know I didn't give a whole lot of information. I currently live in Rio Rancho (North near Beranalillo), and as far as commute I was thinking of riding the train. Well after a few weeks of long hard c...
