  1. UMD CNL Program

    clhRN2b2010 replied to eml2142's topic in Maryland Nursing

    UMD will look more closely at your science pre req GPA. 3.1 is pretty low, honestly. I wouldn't stop trying because they are moving more in the direction of looking at the whole package. Was the 3.1...

  2. Any Advice?

    clhRN2b2010 replied to kerkins08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry for your concern. You may get more specific responses if you post something in the CA section in the Region tab above. It sounds to me like the system in CA is unique. At my school, I can...

  3. opinions about homebirthing

    clhRN2b2010 replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think more women are choosing homebirth. I would like to see that shift begin. I do think that it is getting a fair amount of press right now and many of us are becoming more aware of it....

  4. anyone done with pre-reqs?

    clhRN2b2010 replied to SwtSangria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have finished all the pre req's and co req's for the CC program I am applying to. This Fall I will finish the Pre/co req's for the RN to BSN so that I can move seamlessly through after the ADN...

    clhRN2b2010 replied to hapiyogi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Accelerated Programs? Need to Get Thru Quickly

    clhRN2b2010 replied to rozlips's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, it is likely you won't get waivers. Plus, as someone who took my core sciences over 20 years ago; I am grateful that they made me take them again. After going through them again, I realized that...

  7. Ugh, my insomnia is killing me

    clhRN2b2010 replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Students

  8. helllpp, rn-bsn questions!!

    clhRN2b2010 replied to akkay11's topic in Maryland Nursing

    good news. i don't think they will turn you down if you retook your preq's or if you got a C in A&P when you apply for RN to BSN. They WILL look at your ADN transcripts and they expect a 2.5 (I...

  9. Johns Hopkins U School of Nursing

    clhRN2b2010 replied to gab.rielle's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Um, unfortunately you are reading that wrong. They do offer a traditional BSN program which you transfer in after completing pre req and core classes elsewhere. Similar to UMB. The tuition is...

  14. First Year Nursing Student @ UMB (SG)- Schedule Help

    clhRN2b2010 replied to shortstuff52's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Although, I'm not there yet; I think it's fairly individual. I would very likely do what you have done and make fewer days-fuller days. Between travel time, DH work, kids and childcare issues, it...

  15. Any Johns Hopkins (JHU) BSN/MSN 2008 applicants?

    clhRN2b2010 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Also, you mentioned that you also took 60 post bac credits. That would have brought your cumulative GPA up considerably, coupled with your financial need is a different picture. If I was willing to...

  16. Any Johns Hopkins (JHU) BSN/MSN 2008 applicants?

    clhRN2b2010 replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I should have clarified. I was looking at merit scholarships. I am not eligible for financial need grants because my DH makes too much money. Was the criteria for financial need at JHU very different...

    clhRN2b2010 replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The OP did clarify that break time and work space was NOt as issue. However, I had not considered the idea that bringing a baby into a hospital istruly not the best idea if you don't have to. I...

  20. What do you think about a nurse breastfeeding infant at nurse's station during break?

    clhRN2b2010 replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From a personal opinion, if work space and break time aren't an issue...what's the problem? Certainly, there is an appripriateness factor, but assuming she isn't heedlessly flashing breasts all over,...

  22. Administration/Organization at UMD

    clhRN2b2010 replied to MZTwin's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You likely won't get many honest responses. I have heard similar stories, but the gist seemed to be that admissions was a mess but that once past that- smooth(er) sailing. I've heard great things...

    clhRN2b2010 replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Nursing

    clhRN2b2010 replied to RNn2010's topic in Nursing Career
