rudy5095, it's funny that you reply to this post today. Shortly after I wrote the original post, I dropped out of nursing school. I felt like such a loser. I still have a hard time explaining myself to people even though I shouldn't have to. Nurs...

Yes, I am close to JHU...like 25 min away. I volunteer for JHU, the Bayview campus. I haven't looked into specifics yet since I am not yet eligible. But I can ask who to contact next time I go in to volunteer. If I get info, I will let you know.
