1. Towson at USM Hagerstown

   MegoEgo replied to mas017's topic in General Students

   I go to Towson Main Campus. As far as I know, if you get rejected, you can then accept a spot at Hagarstown. I dont know how it goes as far as just applying there. Its easier to get accepted, because most people want to be on the main campus. I say g...

4. Help!! Math Question

   MegoEgo replied to dietcoke2010's topic in General Students

   I would have put 42 and left it at that. I have the same problem you do... thinking too much into the question. My professors catch me doing it all the time and have to stop me before I get carried away!

6. Fear of Blood and Needles

   MegoEgo replied to MegoEgo's topic in General Students

   I think it is a needle thing. Because I hate shots etc. I am not really specifically sure, but maybe blood is part of it, too. I have very little exposure to this, so maybe that would help?

9. Help on STD Question

   MegoEgo replied to guest337992's topic in Student Assist

   D isn't true because STD's aren't always transferred through open sores. You don't have to have an open sore to get one. I feel like all of them are wrong in some way. That is hard. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Is there a resource, or your notes yo...

12. Dealing with death

    MegoEgo replied to redtshirt's topic in General Students

    Kind of random, but when my grandmother passed away, she was in hospice care. After she passed, several nurses came in and were crying because they heard the news and were saying how sweet and lovely she was. We had to comfort one nurse. She was so t...

13. Dosages

    MegoEgo posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, I am starting nursing school on Monday. I have been looking over my books and have a question. Do nursing schools typically let the students use calculators on the dosage tests? Or is it all by hand? I was looking at my book and they...
