   G>robin, I attended an info session last year at the Shady Grove campus because that's the one I am applying for. The one on August 25th was at Baltimore right? By the way, rock on with that 3.8!! I struggled for my 3.5 but pulled it together on ...

2. Freaking myself out

   JStClair replied to Jessies_hope's topic in School Programs

   If you are willing to put in the same level of work you had to put in to keep your 4.0, you will be able to get your math skills to where they need to be. Math is all about practice, just like anything else. There's no need to worry or stress about i...

   JStClair posted a topic in School Programs

   I didn't think that I would be able to apply to nursing school so soon but somehow the Prerequisite Gods helped me register for every single course that I need this semester in order to apply!! I already took the TEAS. So now it's time to get ready!!...

6. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

   JStClair replied to mirandaaa's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree. This seems absolutely possible. For me, the busier I am, the better I do in school because constraints on my time force me to get my work done ahead of time.

   JStClair replied to snow22's topic in General Nursing

   My mother earned her BSN over 20 years ago. She worked as a labor and delivery nurse for two years and then quit because of terrible working conditions and unrealistic expectations in the hospital. She then earned a masters degree in computer science...

8. Maryland nursing program that doesn't require TEAS

   JStClair replied to smallwonders07's topic in School Programs

   Yes! I agree so much. The biggest factor in success is determination. If she wants it bad enough, she will make it happen even if testing isn't naturally her forte. This is the type of attitude that will make someone successful in any field. The worl...

   Details about myself: I am applying to the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Nursing for Fall of 2016. I am going into my junior year of college, I have to take one more year to finish up my pre-requisites and I am about to start my first ye...

10. Maryland nursing program that doesn't require TEAS

    JStClair replied to smallwonders07's topic in School Programs

    This is a good point. The NCLEX is a lot harder than the TEAS. Her exam score is the symptom. The root of the problem is probably something along the lines of testing anxiety. if she avoids the test altogether, she's not treating the real problem, sh...

11. What sort of nurse do you want to be?

    JStClair replied to Miss-kate's topic in General Nursing

    Same here! I think the idea of supporting women through pregnancy and labor is exciting. Although I'm not even in nursing school yet so I've got plenty of opportunities ahead of me to change my mind.

12. UMB, Shady Grove or Towson??

    JStClair posted a topic in School Programs

    I'm a sophomore in college right now and I've decided to transfer into a nursing program. University of Maryland, Baltimore, Shady Grove and Towson University all have programs that spend the first two years getting basic science credits (which is wh...
