Hi all! I am starting the nursing program at Coppin:nurse: in the fall and wanted to know if there are any other students out there starting in the fall or are in the program as we speak. Those who are starting in the fall congrats:yeah:. Those who are in the program already, any advice? Please share all of your experiences and if possible to help us newbies! Oh and congratulations to all the students who graduated and good luck on the NYCLEX. Thanks!

Hey I'm also applying to Towson for Spring 2010. I have a 3.27 GPA in the pre-reqs that they require. But from what I hear Towson is pretty competitive. I'm not very confident about getting in.

How do you like the program at Coppin so far? I applied there for Fall 2009 but I didn't get in b/c I failed the NET. I got a 67 in Reading both times I took it. Looking to re-apply but I wish it were a two year program. Any input/advice about Coppin would be great!

If you could get into Towson in the Spring, go for it. I like the program so far as I am a sophomore, but the one big thing I don't like is that if you fail a Fall class, you are not able to take it again till next Fall. Same with a Spring class, you would have to wait till next Spring. So you get held back a year which makes no sense because they should offer all classes again either in the Spring or Summer to give a person a chance to catch up. So far I have not failed any class and this just pushes me to pass, pass, pass. Don't ever doubt yourself and always know that you can make it or you would not have gotten this far. Good luck with everything.
