   shamus replied to eodenwal's topic in Maryland

   My status went from admit back to committee ready, so it appears that the only sure fire way of knowing is if you get a letter or phone call.

   My status actually changed a couple weeks ago to admit-institution, but then went back to the ready for review status. I suppose it could be worse, but it is still concerning.

   An expungement may not help with the BON, but it will be beneficial in the attempt to find employment since it will not be on your record.

4. NCLEX-PN computer shut off at 85 !!!!!help!!!!!

   shamus replied to futurehealthcarewrkr's topic in NCLEX

   I took the RN exam yesterday and got the last question correct and I passed, at least the pvt says as much. I went over 75 questions though, I do not think that getting the last one correct would mean as much in your situation because 85 is the mini...

5. USF vs UMD

   shamus replied to Nscorpiored's topic in General Nursing

   I currently go to UMD at Baltimore. I would say that my education there has been pretty good, but I have not gone to any other nursing school. I graduate in about a month from now. Would I change anything about the school? I would try and do away...

   I remember when I was talking with a recruitment person that she said not to give one of those types of stories.

7. Help! best places to live

   shamus replied to Proverbs 16:3's topic in Maryland

   I would pick Charles Village. The area is relatively safe and you have a nice little grocery store, movie rentals and several pubs/restaurants to pick from. I would pick an apartment that is not on the first floor for safety, but the neighborhood i...

10. Possibly Relocating.. Quick Question!! Please Help if you can!!!!

    shamus replied to JohnnyTrauma's topic in Maryland

    I think the best place to live in is Charles Village. Not as chaotic as down by the harbor. They also provide a shuttle service from the Hopkins campus there down to the hospital.

    shamus replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland

    eri has a practice test you could take for about 10 bucs I think. I would advise you to purchase the review book. The math is pretty basic, I only got the .01 X .01 one wrong. I had a mental lapse for some reason. The reading comprehension was th...

    shamus replied to lonestar88's topic in Maryland

    I am not sure how they do it. I would be surprised if they sent all the acceptance letters on the same day.

15. my goals and objectives

    shamus replied to shamus's topic in Student Assist

    thanks for the reply. I though about what you said but can't really agree. They want to know what led me to being interested in nursing. I felt I had to tell them why. I am not sure what you meant about conviction.
