Just a Dose, I have one year of nursing experience on a busy adult med/surg unit. I would really like to try to get into our NICU this fall. I've heard the jobs can be hard to come by as...

I think I had this exact assignment...hehehe

Hi jlpsu, Your journey sounds very similar to mine. I'm 36 and back in the 90s wanted to go to college to become a nurse. For reasons different from yours I chose a different path and got the...

The lawsuit won't hold up. I think I remember seeing a similar case years ago in the paper. It wasn't a nursing student, but same situation. I wouldn't expend any energy on this. Obviously you...

@RNCoastiewife - thank you for sharing the parent's perspective. That is great information! @babyRN - thank you for the tip. I will browse around here!

Hi NICU nurses, I'm finishing the 1st semester of my accelerated second degree program (25% done, yay!). Anyway, today I was sitting down with my clinical instructor to evaluate my performance in...

I would find a local community college or university, that offers a nursing program and meet with the admissions people. They would be able to tell you what sorts of classes you need to take. Don't...

I agree with with what tlm has said. TLM, which cohort are you in? I'm in the one that just started in January.

Full-disclosure I have the WHC scholarship, so am not paying $72K. But what negative things have you heard about the program?

I saw a group of you who toured WHC last Friday. I hope you enjoyed the tour. It was my favorite part of the interview. Not sure how they're doing it this time around. We found out in the week...

The first few weeks were crazy. I'm guessing that is similar to any accelerated program though. I kept thinking, what the heck did I get myself into. I'm settling into a pattern now, so I think it...

I understand it's a hard decision, especially committing to living so far from home for awhile. If it helps, DC is a fun town and hardly anyone is from here, so everyone was in the same boat at some...

I just wanted to give another viewpoint. I'm in the program that just began in January. I am a Washington scholar so my experience may be different from Tammy's. I think our cohort is almost 60...

Sure. I have class 4 days and spend one day at the hospital. First semester, you have only one clinical. Some in my cohort managed to get a day off, but I couldn't get that to work based on my...

Hi Joenurse, I had a BA in English (graduated 10 yrs ago). My GPA was about a 3.4. My prereqs were 4.0. I had all of my sciences except chemistry done when I submitted my application. I didn't...

Just wanted to wish you all good luck! I just started the accelerated program last month. It's intense, but an amazing experience. I hope to see you on campus this fall!

The Discover Nursing website (www.discovernursing.com) may help too. I think you can drill down your search to ABSN and the state you live in. I would caution against enrolling in a super...

JerseyJess, Congratulations on the job! That is fantastic news. I am definitely interested in ED. If I had to pick a speciality today, it would be ED. I'd love to stay in touch with you. I...

JerseyJess, Congratulations on your upcoming graduation and thank you for all of your great insight! Before I even learned of the WHC scholarship, I had my sights set on working at WHC. I had...

Congratulations! I got into the CNL program too, though I will not be attending. UMB was my #2 school, mostly based on location (I live in DC). My #1 school (in DC) accepted me, so I've already...

Congratulations Pokytrokyt! I just received the good news myself. I can't even believe it! I'm also bouncing off the walls, waiting for my husband to get home! The dogs aren't sure what to think...

Thank you Grey Lady and Terps 97!

Hi Grey Lady, Has anyone ever crashed the system checking their status too often :chuckle Do you know if Baltimore is planning another open house before the semester in January starts? I...

Have you checked out this site: http://www.discovernursing.com/? You can search for schools based on the degree, location, private/public, etc. I found it very helpful. Good luck!

Hi LizzyLou, The interview went well. This may sound silly, but my favorite part of the whole day was the WHC tour. I could have spent the entire day there :) Our group was between 30-40...
