University of Maryland Shady Grove Campus - Fall 2013

[norcal21438]

Hello Everyone,

Thought I'd start I thread for anyone out there who has also applied for The University of Maryland School of Nursing @ the Shady Grove Campus for Fall 2013. I've read through numerous old "All Nurses" threads of students waiting to see if they've been accepted or not, but haven't seen a thread yet for Fall 2013.

I spoke with the Office of Admissions about a week ago and was told I should be hearing back either late March / early April, but I requested early consideration for acceptance due to my military status and program. So at a minimum it'll be another month before I hear if I got in or not.

So I know there are others out there also playing the waiting game. Waiting (and hoping) they get accepted. Please feel free to chime in and share your thoughts, concerns, ect....

Hi! I just graduated from Shady Grove. To answer your question - it is really, really difficult to complete the program without a car. Our classes were on the Shady Grove campus, and our clinicals ranged from Shady Grove Adventist to Suburban to Holy Cross to UMMC to Sheppard Pratt to Children's. As of now, the only two options for pediatric clinical are UMMC and Children's. That being said, you could try and schedule your clinicals to get sites you could access with public transportation - everyone registers at the same time though, and there is absolutely no guarantee you will get what you want. I would strongly, strongly recommend having a car. Hope that helps!
