Thanks for the info! I've only lived in Cali for a few years. I grew up in Eastern Montana, and I definitely don't mind moving for a good job. I really liked the info I found on UMC's critical care program, and I'm not too particular of the location. I've heard pretty decent things about Lubbock. There are a few university associated nursing programs here that really prefer their own graduates, so that was something was I wondering about with UMC. Good luck with school! I'm planning to start my BSN this fall. I have found that outside of Cali the ADN isn't quite as popular...thanks again!
