I've dealt with them and they are HORRIBLY RUDE and inconsiderate, from the front desk to the phony faculty in the back. They do NOT care what we prospective students go thru to compete w/ ea other for their lmtd spots, and they will lie to you to keep you waiting unitl they've made their pick for the classes, then dump you like garbage. At least that's what it felt like, dealing with them. They do NOT return phone calls, and do NOT answer to anyone- they will pick students based on their own criteria, by then it is too late to get into another school.

Only go there if it is your LAST choice! I was wondering if there are any nurses out there that graduated from PIMA medical institute?? I am due to start the program this October at the Albuquerque campus and would like to know what you thought about the program?? I know it doesn't transfer everywhere to get a bsn, but I'm really only interested in getting an ADN anyways.

Metal gear solid psx rip. Final Release of my Project Metal Gear Solid 1 Integral for PC Playable on current hardware and operating systems. Since Metal Gear Solid 1 was unplayable on modern machines. I felt compelled to keep this oldie alive and well,since It has long been abandoned nor available anymore on the market. I wanted to preserve a piece of gaming history. All the SFX, all the Codecs, all the voice clips. Extracted from the game files. So, sit back, relax and enjoy nearly 4 hours of METAL GEAR SOLID.

I recentley moved from out of state to live with my parents so that I can complete nursing school. Back home I have been waiting over 2 yrs to get into a nursing program and was working as a full time MA. I am glad they were able to get me in much faster and I believe the high tuition costs will definitley outweigh the weight I've had to encounter, but I want to know if this program is really trustworthy and how other nurses who went there liked it.any info will help greatly.Much Thanks:). I have not graduated yet, but I am graduating in December. But I personally feel I have gotten a great education in the nursing program at Pima.

The course load is tough.it is in any good nursing program.but I have learned so much in the almost 2 years since I started. And I have developed my skills where I feel confident when I go into clinicals that I will be able to properly care for my patients. I don't know about the Albuquerque campus, but everyone in the nursing department at the Mesa campus has been supportive, helpful, and very knowledgeable in their specialties. I am like you.I don't plan on going on to get my BSN, so this program was perfect for me. I'm graduating soon, and if I had stayed at the community college, I may still be on the waiting list (since some of my classmates from the community college are still waiting.and they all passed their prerequisites and the NET test).

I wish you luck, and hope that your program at Albuquerque is as good an experience as mine was. I just attended the PMI info session for nursing last week. Current cost is $42k. They do give you a 50 question test that must be done in 15 minutes. It has basic math and comprehension questions plus you have to take a 25 question math test that is not timed and you do get a calculator.

Basic math: percents, algebra, fractions. You wait a week for those results and that determines what program you qualify for. You can retake these tests for better scores if you choose to. If you score high enough they will have you take the HESI exam since your scores on that determine your placement in the class. If you score high on that and you haven't done your prereqs you can do the 3 classes online with PMI for about $2500k, they last about 10 weeks. They have about 15 out of the 30 students already for the Aug '10 class, next class is May '11.

The schedule for the classes is Mon thru Fri 8-4 PM. So it will be difficult to hold down a fulltime job with that schedule. I'm still undecided. Well if that's your goal then you know what you have to do to prepare, so I wish you well! Personally this type of idiotic testing is just about my biggest pet peeve in modern life- high pressure, rapid fire testing of students in no way, shape or form determines the slightest level of qualifification for a registered nurse.

I earned a BS Engineering degree several years before I went towards nursing, and had to refresh on the basic math b/c it's the First skill to be forgotten, in spite of doing 5 3 levels of math past calculus 3. I guess Pima is more interested in bringing on students who can control their anxiety and blood pressure instead of motivated, intellegent students who can critically think, which is what nursing requires. I did not get that feeling at all. I got the impression that they want relatively intelligent people who can read and do VERY BASIC Math. They in no way expect anyone to come close to finishing the timed test, and if you cannot pass the Math test they give you in the information session, you have NO business trying to get into school for nursing at this point in your life. (The testing material was 4th grade math or something along those lines.) They do expect you to do well on the HESI though, which many other public schools around the nation also want.
