1. questions for U of MD grad or student

   TLR03 replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland

   I graduated from UMD this past May. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal and was hoping to have some international or domestic volunteer experience while in nursing school. Although I didn't have time because of working, studying, etc... there were...

2. Questions for JHU students

   TLR03 replied to anxious2bnurse's topic in Maryland

   Hi MEO82, Well, there are several reasons why I decided not to do the CNL program after I had been accepted. 1. The CNL program was a brand new program that started the year that I applied. That meant that the students in the year I would have been ...

3. Questions for JHU students

   TLR03 replied to anxious2bnurse's topic in Maryland

   I would say it is not too difficult to get in the 3.0-3.3 range. If you want to get a 4.0, yes, you are going to have to study A LOT! Nursing school is A LOT of memorization and then applying that knowledge (i.e. critical thinking) to different situa...

4. Questions for JHU students

   TLR03 replied to anxious2bnurse's topic in Maryland

   Did I mention that I am in the traditional program? I am glad that I did that instead of the CNL program (the accelerated masters that replaced the accelerated BSN). I have been really impressed with the program at UMaryland. I have had some phenomen...

5. Questions for JHU students

   TLR03 replied to anxious2bnurse's topic in Maryland

   Hi! I see you are deciding between Hopkins and Maryland. I got accepted at both. They were the only two schools I applied to. I actually decided to go to Maryland because I could get the same quality of education for much less than at Hopkins. I tal...

6. UMD Accelerated BSN program now is Clinical Nurse Leader Program

   TLR03 replied to TLR03's topic in Maryland

   Thanks for the info! I wish UMD had explained it a little better in their acceptance letter. They were very vague in the description of the program and they made it sound like all you could do after you graduated was be a CNL. I realize this is the f...

7. Work repayment programs

   TLR03 replied to WhatToDo's topic in Ob/Gyn

   They only forgive 15% of your perkins loans, NOT all your federal stafford loans. Take it from me, loans from my MPH piled up with interest while I served in Nepal for 2 years! The government did not help me pay any of them back.

8. A question for all managers and recruiters for New Grad porgrams!!!!

   TLR03 replied to JonathanRN's topic in General Nursing

   Hi Jonathan, I actually lived away from my now husband for two years while I served in the Peace Corps and he finished medical school. I think we actually grew closer to one another during that time because we had to communicate through the written w...

   TLR03 replied to WhatToDo's topic in Career Support

   I served in Nepal as a Peace Corps Volunteer from 2000-2002. I was a community health volunteer. Our main focus was to provide health education to our community and improve the practices of the health staff we were assigned to work for. I have a BA i...

10. Going to Hopkins in July! need some advice

    TLR03 replied to t2000JC's topic in Maryland

    http://www.jhu.edu/gazette/ Check out this link. It is an internal Hopkins magazine that has posting for apartments and roommates by students and employees. Also, Canton, Fells Point, Bolton Hill, and Federal Hill are all places that are pretty popu...

11. UMD Accelerated BSN program now is Clinical Nurse Leader Program

    TLR03 replied to TLR03's topic in Maryland

    The problem I found was that most Masters in Nurse Midwifery require you have a BSN to be considered for admissions, unless it is a direct entry program. I just don't want to pay for a masters I am not going to use (the masters program is $10,000 mor...

12. UMD Accelerated BSN program now is Clinical Nurse Leader Program

    TLR03 replied to TLR03's topic in Maryland

    Hi SummitK2, I did only apply to the two programs because I have to stay in Baltimore. I have not had a chance to talk to Maryland yet since I got my letter last Friday night and immediately left for a week's vacation out of the country. I am plannin...

13. UMD Accelerated BSN program now is Clinical Nurse Leader Program

    TLR03 replied to TLR03's topic in Maryland

    I want to become a CNM, so I just don't see what good it would be to get two master's in nursing. Not to mention, from the research I did, it seems like a lot of employers prefer you to have a BSN along with your master's. I guess I really annoyed th...

14. UMD Accelerated BSN program now is Clinical Nurse Leader Program

    TLR03 posted a topic in Maryland

    I just got my acceptance letter from the University of Maryland. I had applied to the accelerated BSN program, but got a letter that they have replaced the Accelerated BSN program with a master's level Clinical Nurse Leader Program. Has anyone else g...

15. Hopkins vs. UMD

    TLR03 replied to JenniferC's topic in Maryland

    Tamm1 - Did you apply to Maryland for Fall 2005? Have you heard from them yet? I called yesterday and they said that I would not get a letter until after April 1st. I sent my application in back in December and thought I would have heard by now.
