  1. UMB 2010 Fall Applicants (BSN and CNL)

    I am a former UMB student and I frequently took the train instead of spending a fortune on parking (and gas!). Both the Metro Subway and Lightrail have stops that are relatively close to UMB. One way ticket is $1.60, round trip $3.20. The parking off...
  2. University of Maryland Spring 2012 CNL Applicants

    When I entered the program, the admissions process did not include an interview. However, I have heard that they ask standard questions like why you want to be a nurse, etc. I also heard that they ask you to complete a brief writing sample as part of...
  3. MAP=60? Why wait to treat?

    Good points. I thought that 60 was the minimum MAP to keep organs perfused, so anything below that and things start going down hill. Figured it would be better to be proactive and hydrate before this point, but hadn't considered overcompensating. Tha...
  4. MAP=60? Why wait to treat?

    I am currently working as a student nurse/tech on a SICU at a busy teaching hospital. Was told that patients on the unit should maintain a MAP of at least 60 or above in order to maintain optimal organ perfusion. Wondering why nurses have to wait unt...
  5. University of Maryland Spring 2012 CNL Applicants

    Greetings future CNLs! I am a current CNL student (will be graduating in May!). Nursing school has been an intense, but amazing journey! Please feel free to ask me any questions about the program.
  6. Nurse tech pay?

    Again, I highly encourage you to contact HR for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
  7. I am a current CNL student at UMB. I would direct you to the AACN's website for an in-depth explanation of the CNL role: http://www.aacn.nche.edu/cnl/index.htm The CNL program at UMB is unique in that it is an entry level master's program. Most CNL p...
  8. UMB Spring 2012

    Hi Folks! I am a current CNL student at the Baltimore campus. If anyone has questions about this program, please do not hesitate to ask! Best of luck to you all during the admissions process!
  9. Nurse tech pay?

    I believe $15 is without shift differentials, but I would verify that with HR.
  10. UMD SON CNL: Current / Former Students

    Hi Meadow Brook! First off, congratulations on your acceptance! :yeah: 1. Yes, all classes are held in the main SON building on West Lombard. 2. During the first semester, you are mainly doing didactic work. This includes tests, quizzes, and papers. ...
  11. I am currently in an MS/CNL program with no prior clinical nursing experience. Yes, I will be competing with all other new ADN and BSN grads when I graduate to get my first job as a staff nurse. New grads are new grads any way you slice it. However, ...
  12. UMB FALL 2011

    BTW, Pharmacology for Nursing Care (Richard Lehne) is one of the best (if not the best) textbooks that I have come across. The author is very skilled at breaking down difficult concepts and making them easy to understand. Definitely worth the money!
  13. Medstar health hospitals for new grads!

    I heard through the grape vine that Franklin Square is planning to hire 50 new grads in the near future.
  14. UMB FALL 2011

    My status finally changed from "committee ready" to "wait listed" in mid-May. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you who have not heard anything yet!
  15. UMB FALL 2011

    If I may, I would like to reiterate Grey Lady's point. I was wait listed last fall and I was already making alternative plans for the semester. A week before school started, I was notified that a spot had become available (I was notified on a Friday,...
