I wanna be a psych nurse!

They have a 4-year degree nursing program at my local university and I'll minor in behavioral sciences. Unfortunately, they don't have a psychology program. I might be able to take that at our community college or at another university in the system.

Do you mean on psych wards? It's really interesting, but the atmosphere in those places isn't stellar. I wish you well.

Out of either USM or UMO, UMO would have the better psych program. FWIW, I was never impressed with what the smaller UM's like UMA had to offer.

Have to go to UMA. It's right down the street. I can't afford the gas to get to and from Orono or Portland/Gorham everyday. Farmington, maybe.
