2. Stevenson University?

   SnoopysAunt replied to terps97's topic in Maryland

   Tex- Yeah, they changed the order of the courses around a little. You will have an easier fall semester than I did. In looking at your courses, the spring might be intense. Nursing school is hard no matter where you go. Like any program Stevenson...

3. Stevenson University?

   SnoopysAunt replied to terps97's topic in Maryland

   Texxy- sorry, I don't mean to confuse you... My curriculum was different because they made some changes this year apparently. If they have you taking Computer Technology (informatics) in the summer, and then Communication and Pathophys in the fall, ...

   SnoopysAunt replied to terps97's topic in Maryland

   Texxy- Unfortunately I don't think I can give you much advice on your specific situation. You have to decide what is right for you. However, I will tell you that the part-time program is challenging, and I am sure that there are going to be times t...

5. Stevenson University?

   SnoopysAunt replied to terps97's topic in Maryland

   Texxy- I have the informatics book. I'd love to sell it to you. Make me an offer. I am a part-timer. The program is very challenging. They made a lot of changes to the curriculum last year and had a lot of issues to iron out, so I hope that everyth...

   I am in the program now and I agree with pretty much everything Nicole said. It's not an impossible program, but it's not easy either... If you come be prepared to work hard. It's intense.

7. Admission Chances in nursng with a F?

   SnoopysAunt replied to DannyA's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a second degree student and I got in to nursing school with an F in Film Analysis and a C/D in my first year of college in Biology I/II almost twelve years ago. Film anaylsis was a horrible, waste of money class and I just plain stopped going. N...

8. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

   SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland

   Oops, I misread your post! I thought you said that you were already offered a spot @ JHU! My program is ehhh. I'm not so happy with it. In my second-degree cohort, we are losing almost half next semester. People are planning to sit out and apply to...

9. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

   SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland

   CONGRATS Stacy! It's funny, throughout the whole prereq experience I wanted to go to Columbia, but the cost scared me away. So, I ended up at another local university in Baltimore. I figured that I always had the option of going to Columbia for gr...

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland

    Stacy, The past couple of winters have been pretty mild, but we get snow and blizzards too! They are actually calling for 25 inches of snow this winter. Coming from NY, you will have no problem adjusting to the weather here! It's not even really ...

11. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland

    I am not a nurse yet, but there are plenty of hospitals in the area, and we have the best healthcare in the nation, so I think grads have a comparatively easier time finding a position. The local economy here also mirrors national trends, but there ...

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland

    Stacy- If you want to live in the City, try Canton, Harbor East, or Federal Hill (However they are all not kid friendly) Outside of the city, check out Pikesville (just outside of the city) Mt. Washington (Right on city lines) Owings Mills/Reisterst...

13. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland

    The area immediately around campus is one of the worst parts of town. However, I think you could easily live in Fells Point or Canton without a car. Hopkins also has a transportation network to help you get around. I don't go there, but I'm a lifet...

14. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    SnoopysAunt replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland

    Thanks Grey Lady! In the first semester of my BSN program, we've had close to 50% decide not to come back next semester. Not because they are failing out, but because they are unhappy with the program we are in. Most people are applying to MD beca...

    SnoopysAunt replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland

    GreyLady- I have a question, what's the attrition rate for the BSN program at MD? Are there a lot of students who start and subsequently drop out?
