CNL program at University of Maryland

Blondell · Aug 14, 2009

Mother_Matter: I live in Timonium/Towson area. It will take me about 30 mins with the traffic to UMB. Although you live Bethesda but you go against the traffic, and living the area early will help out. You should be fine commuting.

JennyA: my bad grammar, I mean did you applied for CNL 16 months or 23 months program?

I applied for 16 months program and kind of nervous!

Good luck to you all,

Blondell

Blondell- I want to do the 16-month program. I'm nervous about it being very intense, but I know I can do it. I am determined! :)

I am getting ready to turn in my application and I also applied to GTown. Although its expensive, there is an option for a work scholarship with the Washington Hospital Center so that's what I am going for. I am moving back to MD in a week (from NYC) so I am going to sign up for an info session in the fall hopefully.
Jenny A, - you said you were already accepted into HCC for May?? That early? I know its supposed to be a good program but still an ASN correct? I plan to go on to advance practice so I dont think thats an option for me.

The info session is nothing differ from the website. If you pay attention enough on this website you probably know more than the lady at the session. Seriously, it just waste your time. If you want to know more go to The Open House. I think it's coming in Oct. I am planing to go too!

I agree with you about the determination. I think as a time goes by and from having children, I am more focus and doing better at school. Good luck and have our fingers cross!

Has anyone heard on their application status yet?

mother_matters · Oct 9, 2009

Nothing yet for me. My status still says "Complete Ready for Review". I'm really hoping we hear something soon. The Accelerated BSN program that I was accepted into wants a deposit by 10/21. I'm reallly hoping to hear from UMB about the CNL program before then because they're my first choice. Best of luck to everyone who is anxiously awaiting an admissions decision!

Blondell · Oct 9, 2009

Nothing change as well although mine has been"committee Ready" almost a week now.

Mother_matters: congrats for getting accepted into another program. At lease you have something in your hand.

JLSELD · Oct 9, 2009

Mother_matters: may I ask what other program you were accepted into? Is it in the area? I dont know of too many schools that have an Accel. BSN that starts in January so I am just curious. I applied to Georgetown and just got accepted but if I am unable to get their scholarship, I probably cant afford it so I'd like to have options.

Hi JLSELD---the Accelerated BSN program that I was accepted into was Marymount University in Arlington. I had looked at Georgetown and Marymount very closely and ultimately decided that Marymount would be the next best fit for me if I didn't get in to UMB. Actually, the BSN at UMB would have been my second choice but UMB doesn't allow you to apply to the CNL and the BSN at the same time (and their BSN isn't accelerated). I believe that Catholic Univ might also have an accelerated BSN but I don't know if it has spring admissions. I believe that the Hopkins accelerated BSN only has June admission. Congrats on your acceptance to Georgetown---hope you get good news about the WHC scholarship as well!

JLSELD · Oct 9, 2009

It seems like a lot of people applied to Marymount. I didn;t even know about their program until recently. Maybe because I am from Baltimore so I wasn't really looking at VA schools. I dont know! Anyway, I'm not sure about Catholic either. I think that is only fall. GWU has a very new program in the fall as well. Crossing my fingers on WHC. Congrats for your acceptance to Marymount and hopefully we'll hear soon. It could certainly change a few things!

Hi Fellow Applicants. Thought you might be interested in seeing the following link about $10K scholarships for CNL students through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. I wonder if all of these have already been awarded for the year or if some were reserved for the spring applicants? Anybody know anything more about these? The new SON website looks great!

Thanks for that link. I agree, the new SON website does look really good! Much better. My status is still the same "Committee Ready" and has been that way for a long time now. The waiting is killing me! I received my acceptance letter for HCC's accelerated ADN program and the deposit is due by 10/30, so I hope we hear soon too! UM is my first choice.
