   Aarika replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland

   Checked my status this morning, I got accepted as a provisional admit for the RN-BSN (have to take my boards and 1 summer class). Woo hoo!

2. UMB FALL 2011

   Also, all of the text is within a table. There isn't an easy way (that I'm aware of, it's been a few years since I've actively done web design) to have floating text on the side of the screen, unless you made a really thin column within this table on...

   Aarika replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland

   I suppose I could see how this might be possible. In my experience with web design, typically you do not specify the text for an individual box in a table such as that when you write the HTML code for a page. The font style, size, color, etc. will be...

   Aarika replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland

   Abby, I do not remember seeing this at all up until today. I've been checking it about once a week since I submitted my app, and only in the past couple of checks did Committee Ready come up. Today when I checked I noticed the Current Program: Bachel...

   Yes, the woman conducting the information session told me about that. I traveled down to Baltimore for a session that was actually for the traditional BSN, so I stayed a bit after and got some more details on RN to BSN. She didn't specifically say to...

6. Good HESI score - should I bother studying for the NCLEX?

   Aarika replied to Aarika's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for all the input guys! My school pays for us to have a three 8 hour days of live NCLEX content review at the end of April, so I'm really thinking that will help. We also have a fingerprinting/background check service coming at some point in t...

7. UMB FALL 2011

   Aarika replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland

   Just to clarify, for those who had the "Current Program: Bachelor's of Science in Nursing" earlier on, are you all applying to BSN or RN to BSN? I ask because I am going for the RN to BSN and my Status was only changed to "Committee Ready" about a w...

8. UMB FALL 2011

   Aarika replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland

   So I checked my app status today, and before now there were two blank lines beneath "committee ready". Now it says "Current Program" in the first line, and then "Bachelor's of Science in Nursing" on the second... It doesn't say "accepted" anywhere bu...

9. Good HESI score - should I bother studying for the NCLEX?

   Aarika posted a topic in NCLEX

   Hi all, I'm in my last semester of nursing right now. We took the HESI exam at the beginning of the semester and are about to retake it again at the end. It doesn't count as a grade this semester, so I didn't study for the HESI so that I could get a ...

10. UMB FALL 2011

    Aarika replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland

    I told the admissions rep at the open house but I also included it specifically in my essay. Honestly, it might be a good idea to send a short note so that it is documented in writing and it gets added to your file. I wouldn't worry too much since it...

11. UMB FALL 2011

    Aarika replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland

    When I went to an open house down in Baltimore, an admissions rep said I needed to emphasize that I did not yet have my license but I was planning to obtain it and include when I will take the NCLEX. Might be something they're still processing, it ju...

    Aarika replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland

    @ Nurse999 - I have my app in for the RN-BSN program. I've been lurking this thread for a while as there doesn't appear to be a similar one for RN to BSN apps. I did just notice that my admission decision was updated to "Committee ready". I feel like...

13. Hey Fall 2009 new nursing students... How is it so far?!

    Aarika replied to espo44's topic in General Students

    Hello! I just started nursing classes after a year of doing pre-requisites. I'm enrolled in a 2 year ADN program, so my experience might be a little different from everyone else's... This is just my first semester (Nursing 120), but so far I think th...

14. Best Place to purchase books

    Aarika replied to silliemunkie's topic in General Students

    Try http://www.gettextbooks.com, I recently found the site and it searches most of the major book websites and gives you a page of results, including shipping costs in the total. Also, it includes the condition of the items listed, and it compares wh...
