1. UMB Parking

   aHolisticStudent replied to jtk57's topic in Maryland

   First of all, congratulations on getting into UMB! Regarding parking lots, BioPark is good, Lexington garage is the main garage, with Lexington Street Market parking being an overflow location. I'm not sure what you mean by arriving early each day. S...

2. Nursing school laptops

   aHolisticStudent replied to shortstuff52's topic in Maryland

   Like everyone else has said above, you don't need the computer they sell through the school. However, the choice of whether or not to get a laptop really depends on your working style. For me, I don't buy notebooks for school, instead I do all my not...

3. is anybody applying to umd and what are ur gpas

   aHolisticStudent replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland

   It's a good book. However, two things should be considered first when looking at questions and answers. 1) Your ABCs (Airway, Breathing, Bleeding, Circulation) always takes precedence when deciding which answer should come first. 2) Maslow's Hierarch...

   Review your developmental psychology (particularly Erik Erikson and his stages), they'll be useful in Health Assessment. Know your A&P and Microbiology, particularly the immune response, the inflammatory response, blood pressure & hemodynamic...

   aHolisticStudent replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland

   Clinical days aren't set. There are slots made available at the beginning of the semester and the registration is done online. It's basically first in wins. Most of the favored spots (i.e. those close to campus or where most people live) are full ~2 ...

6. nursing program

   aHolisticStudent replied to lalunia86's topic in General Nursing

   Most challenging? Definitely time management. If you are not competent in this area you will have serious difficulties. I've seen a lot of students just get run over by the requirements of nursing school. For example, while our schedule for lecture ...

7. Which Program is best for me? JHU/MD/Towson?

   aHolisticStudent replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland

   I don't have any exact numbers regarding admissions for you, but you can e-mail the Admissions department at the school if you need to know. The e-mail is: [email protected]. I chose BSN because I don't have a prior undergraduate degree, s...

8. Which Program is best for me? JHU/MD/Towson?

   aHolisticStudent replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland

   Agrippa, Glad to hear it ranks high on your list! I've been very happy with the experience so far. Yes, the Traditional BSN class I came in with is about 90 students but we rarely have class with just us. At this point in the program the new CNLs are...

9. Which Program is best for me? JHU/MD/Towson?

   aHolisticStudent replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland

   Agrippa, I'm a traditional BSN student at UMB so I can't speak to Towson's or JHU's admission process, but my experience is that there is no disadvantage to CC credits. I know some people like to claim that University courses are "more challenging" t...

10. Frustrated!!

    aHolisticStudent replied to Victoria703's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This is a really bad idea. First of all, are you familiar with SQ3R? Try this link: http://arbeitsblaetter.stangl-taller.at/LERNTECHNIK/PQRST.shtml for a quick run through. Secondly, only for particular processes that you don't understand should you ...

11. Memorizing the bones

    aHolisticStudent replied to ChaseTyMadi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Part of the "fun" of A&P is learning an individual process for how to digest large amounts of info quickly. But as far as another option, here's how I approached it: 1) Learn the different locations/regions of the body 2) Learn all the bones (or ...

12. stuck on Algebra question for TEAS!

    aHolisticStudent replied to BernieRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Happy to help :) OK, let's see if I can clarify what I posted. The original information you posted gave us a point (x, y) of (1.5, -3) which I plugged into the equation y = mx + b to get: -3 = m(1.5) + b. You also provided the other point on the li...

13. stuck on Algebra question for TEAS!

    aHolisticStudent replied to BernieRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    DianaJH, Does the graph on the page have a line or just a point? From the description you posted we only know one point on the graph, without having a slope or y-intercept the line could be going in any direction, so without more information I'm not ...

14. Books that aren't required for course.

    aHolisticStudent replied to Pixiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It depends on how you study, and how your course is organized. For example, when I did A&P I we had a "visual lab guide" that was somewhat helpful for histology earlier in the semester, but when it came to bones, muscles, and nervous system I fo...

    aHolisticStudent replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Congratulations on your grade so far. You're definitely not the only one. I'll also be taking A&P 2 in the fall. Along with Chemistry & Nutrition, so I expect to be up to my neck in equations and terminology come September. :)
