   PharmaRN replied to daisification's topic in Massachusetts

   I happened to be online and got a notification that you responded to my thread, so I'll jump in and answer your question... I was the original poster of the thread that you responded to a few minutes ago. I graduated from the accelerated RN program i...

2. Howard CC RN program vs Towson BSN program?

   PharmaRN replied to akumal987's topic in Maryland

   If I were you, I would get my RN at HCC and then transfer to Towson or Maryland to do the RN-BSN program. You'd save a lot of money and wouldn't be heavily discriminated against in terms of being able to find a job. In fact, if I were you, I would do...

3. Howard Community College Application

   PharmaRN replied to Primie2's topic in Maryland

   Hi Primie, I'm a graduate of the accelerated RN program at HCC... as a resident of Anne Arundel County who 'jumped ship' and went to HCC instead of AACC, I just wanted to let you know that it's an incredible nursing program and I couldn't be happier ...

4. Got an incredible job but it's not in the clinical arena...

   PharmaRN posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hi everybody, I am a recent grad of an accelerated RN program in Maryland. After hunting for several months for any position at all, an old networking connection helped me score an incredible, one-of-a-kind job working for a small corporation that...

5. Shock Trauma

   PharmaRN replied to pmednurse's topic in Maryland

   I just wanted to point out that this initial thread was well over three years old when luvbug9956 replied to it. I wonder how much the culture really has changed there in that time. Blueorchid says its more reasonable... maybe it all just depends on ...

6. Anybody Else Doing Howard CC's Accelerated RN Program Starting May 2009?

   PharmaRN replied to PharmaRN's topic in Maryland

   If you're not a HoCo resident (I'm not either), then your best (and possibly only) bet would be to apply during the rolling admissions period, which should be running from now until February 15, 2010 or so. Rolling admissions run on a sliding point ...

   PharmaRN replied to PharmaRN's topic in Maryland

   Hi there! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! It's hard to believe, but I'm almost halfway through the accelerated program already! I absolutely love it so far, though I have to admit that it's definitely challenging. As a nursing student (a...

8. PDA

   PharmaRN replied to travel50's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi there. A PDA is a "Personal Digital Assistant," like a kind of mini calendar/planner/computer all rolled into one. Within the last 10 years, they have become a useful tool for nurses and doctors to organize their information, and, more importantly...

   PharmaRN replied to jobimol's topic in General Students

   To the OP: congratulations to you! You should be very proud of yourself. To grandchildren49: Have you considered that perhaps you didn't pass the test because you didn't study enough?

    PharmaRN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello, everybody. I've gotten quite a few questions about how I was able to do so well on all of my prerequisites, and I wanted to mention a couple of quick tips that were invaluable in helping me get an 'A' in A&P I and II, Micro, Nutrition, Ch...

13. A&P II at HCC over the summer ???

    PharmaRN replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in Maryland

    I got an 'A' in that class. Actually, I've been fortunate enough to maintain a 4.0 GPA through all of my college classes (sorry, I don't want that to sound like bragging, because it's not -- it was the result of a lot of hard work and dedicated study...

14. A&P II at HCC over the summer ???

    PharmaRN replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in Maryland

    I took a 5-week accelerated A&P II last summer at AACC (in addition to Sociology, Chemistry, Algebra, and Music Theory). It's totally do-able if you're disciplined... but it's definitely not a time in which you can afford to take a vacation or ge...

15. Anybody Else Doing Howard CC's Accelerated RN Program Starting May 2009?

    PharmaRN replied to PharmaRN's topic in Maryland

    Good to hear from someone who's completed the program. Yep, you're absolutely right -- preference is definitely given to in-county students, but they also have a rolling admission option: if you get 15 'points' and finish all prereqs before the appli...
