   MZTwin replied to Blueorchid's topic in Maryland

   Blueorchid, What Blueeyes said about the groups is correct, except there are 4 clinical days now. Although it seems like you have a lot of free days it's not really the case. There is so much stuff to get done that it feels like you are flying by the...

   MZTwin replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in Maryland

   MZTwin replied to everythingbeth89's topic in Maryland

   Beth89, I don't think retaking Chemistry would hurt you in the admissions process. However, I do agree with Jules. You should speak with someone, probably Amanda Barnes, to see if retaking it would really make a difference. I think that it would depe...

7. Pediatrics

   MZTwin replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Maryland

   Good luck on your Interview Dolce. I don't believe you being an RN so soon will be a problem at GBMC. I currently work there in registration, and am mainly in the ER. Their pediatric department is great. Also, the Peds department contains an ER side ...
