   Abersmom replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Learning

   I take this exam on Saturday...but I've been using Lisa Arends disc, Micro Demystified, and occasionally the text. There was also some really good online outlines from some college that I had printed out. I think I googled, "Intro to Microbiology" ...

6. Accepted At Ccbc Catonsville

   Abersmom replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland

   My experience with Dalton was UNBEARABLE! I didn't have her as a teacher, as she "blocked" me from going into A&P1 at CCBC. She claimed I didn't have the proper Biology, and that I would "Fail miserably." How supportive. Anyhow, I am now acce...

7. What md hospitals will pay my loans back???

   Abersmom replied to bjr3645's topic in Maryland

   All I can suggest is calling around to see what each hospital is offering in terms of "packages." I don't think my hospital pays off loans..just pays your tuition if you work there while in school.

8. Asn Bsn

   Abersmom replied to Brit1114's topic in Maryland

   At the hospital where I work, the pay is the same. An RN is an RN no matter how you got there. However, if you're interested in management, you need a BSN>

10. Accepted At Ccbc Catonsville

    Abersmom replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland

    I'll chime in on the Essex/Catonsville debate. When I was applying for the program, my advisor (who was based on the Catonsville Campus but floats to Essex as well) told me my odds were better at getting in at Catonsville. I ended up applying/getti...

11. Community college - RN program

    Abersmom replied to chubbi's topic in Maryland

    Jules, Re-take your sciences at a community college to raise them! I also know some community colleges who actually reward "points" for people who have been turned away a semester; so when you reapply, you have a better chance getting in (Harford CC ...

14. Hospital CNA opportunities in Greater Baltimore and DC Areas

    Abersmom replied to edogs334's topic in Maryland

    I have been there. It is so frustrating, such a catch-22. "You need experience, but we're not going to give it to you!" I have my CNA and am in the pre-clinical phase of nursing school.The problem now, is many hospitals want you to get your NST ce...
