I wasn't expecting to be looking for a new career at age 47, but when I finally decided to take the…read moreleap, I was lucky to land at Carrington College. From the first call to inquire about the Registered Nursing program, I felt confident that I had found the right choice for me. Of course, I also did my due diligence by researching the school's ratings, NCLEX first time pass statistics, graduate employment rates, and learning what the NM Board of Nursing had to say about the program. But, it was the staff and facilities that made enrollment an easy decision. The school is the perfect size and has quality equipment. The staff helped guide me through every step of the process, and were clear about the challenging work ahead and the cost of the program. It's not an easy program or an inexpensive choice, but it allows students to become RNs in only 2 years. Since my priority is being able to join the workforce, I was happy that the accelerated pace will allow me to finish quickly. The classes are demanding, but the instructors truly care. My Anatomy and Physiology teacher presents the materials with such enthusiasm and knowledge that you can't help but fall in love with the subject matter. The administration is accessible for any issues or questions, and the enrollment and financial aid departments are experts at setting up your packages. If you are feeling, as I was, intimidated by the idea of being in school as an older student, I encourage you to give Carrington a look.

wish I had read the reviews before enrolling in this school. The level of disorganization is…read moreshocking. Class schedules are often released late, and there have been multiple instances where teachers forget they have a class leaving students to track them down. There's a serious lack of consistency in policies, especially regarding testing. Some students are allowed to make up quizzes, while others aren't, with no clear explanation. What's most frustrating is that I'm paying $62,000 for an education that falls far short of expectations. Many of the instructors are unprepared or know nothing about the material. It feels like the school is more focused on enrollment numbers and NCLEX pass rates than on actually educating its students. That seems to be their main concern is staying in business. If you're considering this school, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. You won't get the education you're paying for or deserve.

CNM Ingenuity Deep Dive Coding Program creates a discriminatory environment on the basis of…read moredisability The nature of the CNM Deep Dive Coding program is one that creates barriers to students with certain types of disabilities because of the way it is set-up. The intensive structure of working all day, Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, for several weeks is one that students with processing delays, barriers to typing, those requiring lternate format of texts, or additional support (not tutoring) to review concepts, ask questions, or otherwise get clarification etc. All of these factors combine to create an environment that is not accessible and therefore students are unable to complete if they need accommodations. The program policy that students may not change capstone groups, for example, creates a situation where if students are actively excluding anyone belonging to a protected class, or otherwise, the student has no recourse or safe haven.

A lot of the time, a sob story is given and they can get an amended work schedule and completely different assignments than we are required to do.

I then discover I HAVE TO RE-TAKE all my pre-reqs! Either that or "sit out" which means ill get penalized for having my pre-reqs done! It's not my fault I actually did go to college, seems like they don't like transferring credits in ( less money for them) so they basically told me if you want your credits to transfer in, you'll have to sit out and not take classes until we find open classes for you. They told me it would take 6 months! Bull! The point of having transferring credits is so I could've finished faster not wait 6 months for them to accept my credits and take more advance classes. The students here are nothing short of ex-paroles, hoodlums and people who will not actually graduate. This school is a joke. They know their student body isn't capable of more so they offer a hour pep talk from the dean in your class every Thursdays in class. He sells his shpeal to you and says how important you are and how you WILL amount to something. Nobody takes this school seriously. Every student misses class and they still pass! But don't show intelligence, the professors hate that! They don't like the smart people and favor the lazy absentee ones. If you do get a class, you will get one of their generic teachers. They change your teacher every month after telling you that you would have another one. The whole administration is incompetent. Their main deal is to take your money, all they see are dollars walking not students. I am glad I only took two classes and then transferred out. For almost 40k for a worthless degree that you can't even transfer to other colleges but their sister colleges. And don't ask them if your degree will transfer, all administration is set with the generic response, "it's up to the college you're applying for if they accept your degree or not." They know it will NEVER transfer over to a reputable college so they are predisposition to say that. Don't apply here if you actually want a degree to transfer to a superior college. For a degree that will only serve as vocational training, the money isn't worth it.

Dear Mayor Keller,…read more Please, for our city's sake, for the sake of our children, our underserved communities and our environment, expand the bicycle safety education center initiative throughout your tenure. We need one of these Centers in every neighborhood of Albuquerque. I just finished the brief but informative two course trainings and, just an hour ago, picked up my bike (and free, new helmet). Esperanza is absolutely exceptional. Here's how the process worked, as of this writing: 1. The first Monday of every month, at precisely 10am, Esperanza opens class registrations, and the phone lines are flooded. "If you get a busy signal, don't give up, just keep calling," advised the staff. That's what I did, and after about ten minutes, I got through. They signed me up for two evening classes which I attended a few weeks later. 2. Each class lasted about 90 minutes, students were a mixed bunch of ethnicities, ages and abilities, about 15 people total. The first course, about safety, was truly informative. I've been a cyclist for the better part of my life, I signal turns and ride in bike lanes, I still learned a ton about staying safe on the road. The second class, bike maintenance, also went beyond fixing a flat -- I learned that, for example, I'm lucky I've never smashed my face in the pavement, I've incorrectly fastened my tires to my bike for years. 3. A few days after classes, I was back at the shop, picking out my ride built from donated (and high-quality) parts. My bike: a 2007 GT Legato 3.0, built in Southern California, original retail: $700. A hybrid road/mountain ride, the bike is extremely light weight, rides like butter, and will absolutely rock when I take my kiddo on the Bosque trail. So. Friggin'. Fly. What did all this cost? Suggested donation: $40, but that's suggested and they never asked me for a dime (I'm donating the full $40, I can afford it). Esperanza also serves as a bike shop where empowered everyday people learn how to fix their own rides. To recap, Mr. Keller. The fact that this Center is inundated with calls for these classes every month, that they receive premium donated parts, and promote healthy, environmentally responsible transportation means one simple thing: tax dollars spent wisely. We need to shift the way this town thinks about transit, and it begins at places like Esperanza. This is a Duke City gem, let's keep these gears turning. Sincerely, Howie K.

You bring your bike here and they have staff that supply you with parts and instruct you on how to fix it. My friend got about $75 worth of parts, including a seat, chain, and bolts, for free. They have all necessary tools on hand, too. For those of you who work, they are open evenings only and on Sundays although hours are extended in the summer. I already like doing my own car maintenance. Now maybe I can learn how to repair my bike the next time it needs work.
