   Maryland Hospital Starting Salaries

   BusyBee91 replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Maryland

   I recently listened to a presentation put on by someone working on recruitment and retention at UMMC; she indicated that all new grads make $28 and change/hr, and that this is not a secret. I believe they also make holiday/night/weekend differential...

   UMSON Fall 2015

   BusyBee91 replied to MiMi3's topic in Maryland

   Hey newbies! Welcome to UM! I just wanted to let you all know, if/when you start buying your books, we have a few facebook groups that senior students have been using to sell their books. If you search "UMB SON Book Exchange," you will find at lea...

   Knitting during class: ok or not?

   BusyBee91 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

   (Never been tested for learning differences, not a 50 minute lecture - 3 hrs). Surprised and grateful for the many views expressed here.

   "Nursing Shortage"

   BusyBee91 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

   Not that I'm an expert, and I really don't have an answer for you, but someone mentioned to me the other day that there are some projections (mind you, these shortages are cyclical) that around 2017/2018, a wave of the "returned-to-work-when-the-econ...

   Knitting during class: ok or not?

   BusyBee91 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

   Appreciate the majority of the responses in here, although it does seem like some of you are drawing some sweeping conclusions about my aptitude for school/nursing. Anyway, I will certainly take it up with my professors, who seem generally fantastic...

   Knitting during class: ok or not?

   BusyBee91 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

   Wow.. I am surprised at the overwhelming majority of you that find it rude. To clarify - certainly some of the students use their tech for class related work, but many of them are working on other projects or something completely unrelated to schoo...

   Knitting during class: ok or not?

   BusyBee91 posted a topic in General Students

   Hi folks, so I'm an auditory/kinesthetic learner, and I recently decided to start bringing my knitting to class, to see if it kept me more engaged in the lecture and off my electronics. It's pretty much a silent hobby, so I was surprised when a frie...

    Hello I got question of johns hopkins

    BusyBee91 replied to dreamcomestrue's topic in Maryland

    JHH is legit, but personally I'd be leery of an agency asking for 25k to move you out here. That is a TON of money to get you a job. Sounds scammy to me, personally. Not that I necessarily know what I'm talking about.

    UMSON CNL Applicants for Spring 2015

    BusyBee91 replied to bran_muffin's topic in Maryland

    I wore professional attire (a suit) for my interview, came prepared to talk about my background and why I wanted to attend UMSON over the other schools I had been accepted to, why I wanted to be a CNL, and ready to provide the short writing sample. ...

    UMSON CNL Applicants for Spring 2015

    BusyBee91 replied to bran_muffin's topic in Maryland

    Oh how exciting for you guys!! I think they accepted between 50-60 students for our cohort.. Assuming not everyone takes the offer, I'd guess they probably send out a few more last minute acceptances. Hope to see some of you on campus soon! try not...

    BusyBee91 replied to Katniss88's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Littman makes a classic model that has a diaphragm and bell, for around $70. I like it.

    Nursing student lacking passion?

    BusyBee91 replied to misskate098's topic in General Students

    Maybe bedside nursing isn't your dream job - maybe you'd like to check out research nursing. I have a background in research, and I've considered it (although the reasons I'm getting out of research are the same reasons I probably wouldn't enjoy res...

    UMSON CNL Applicants for Spring 2015

    BusyBee91 replied to bran_muffin's topic in Maryland

    Just to clarify, it's 'CNL'. I think they look at your undergrad gpa, but I think they look more at your prerequisite course work. Also, since you have a much higher graduate gpa, I wouldn't be too worried. I think the deadline to apply for fall ad...
