hey! thanx a lot for the reply....i was wondering...wat is tht two-year thing UMBC has for people who plan to do nursing? http://www.umbc.edu/UnderGrad/Catalog/preprofessional_health.pdf that's the link and it says pre-nursing on page 153. I'm guessing its different from BSN..i'm really confused. In any case...I'm really on my own with this because my parents have decided not to support me. I was wondering if you could give me an estimate on the cost for attending and other expenses. Thanks so much!
