  1. Johns Hopkins or University of Maryland??

    Agrippa replied to misssrblake's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm a bsn. I chose against the cnl because I didn't want the extra debt. My previous Ba and grad degree loaded me with debt. Didn't see any reason for me to gre a cnl for what I wNt to

  2. Skill set of new MSN grads

    Agrippa replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    These MSN prepared nurses, the CNL programs mainly, are nurse generalists and are not to be confused with advanced practice MSN nurses. Of course no one would hire a MSN NP with no experience. CNLs...

  3. Skill set of new MSN grads

    Agrippa replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I think more ADNs and LPNs have prior CNA experience and thus explains why they may initially be more competent. I think it would be interesting to reevaluate both groups say 12 months and 18 months...

  4. Johns Hopkins or University of Maryland??

    Agrippa replied to misssrblake's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Well that may be so, but I don't see how that is the function of these new nurses going through an accelerated class. The traditional program is 24 months long and the accelerated is a 16, 21, or 23...

  5. Johns Hopkins or University of Maryland??

    Agrippa replied to misssrblake's topic in Maryland Nursing

    i'm in a traditional program, but i take classes right next to cnls...those in the msn direct entry programs. despite whatever your anecdotal experiences may be, i think its a bit of an overstatement...

  6. Johns Hopkins or University of Maryland??

    Agrippa replied to misssrblake's topic in Maryland Nursing

    UMB is fantastic. I love it right now and I can't imagine Hopkins being any better, if at all, for me to justify somehow their ridiculous tuition. For me it came down simply to that. Even as a cnl...

  7. RN to BSN at University of Phoenix?

    Agrippa replied to JP82's topic in School, College Programs

    You don't need a PhD to realize that a BSN from a brick and mortar university is better regarded by most than one from a for profit online university like U of Phoenix. My educational background is...

  8. RN to BSN at University of Phoenix?

    Agrippa replied to JP82's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes. My source is a HR manager who told me they just throw away resumes they get when they see they went to some for profit center like U of Phoenix. Im sure you can find a job with it like you...

  9. RN to BSN at University of Phoenix?

  10. University of Maryland Spring 2010 Accepted Students

    Agrippa replied to eml2142's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The atmosphere at UMB is what I like most and is nothing like that of a CC. CC is interesting...it is a place where people can find new careers, learn new things or just stagnate. But yea, umb isnt...

    Agrippa replied to eml2142's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I know a lot of the younger students who just came from undergrad were a bit worried about missing out on the "college experience". For all of those that are concerned about this...the college...

    Agrippa replied to eml2142's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Eh...i don't know about all that. I actually found the Lehne book to be very helpful. The slides will give you the bare bones of what you need to know "for test purposes." But exams are not just...

  17. University of Maryland Traditional BSN Fall Program: Any idea when we will hear back?

    Agrippa replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Agrippa replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Students

  21. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Vaccine-will you get it if forced by your employer? why/why not

    Agrippa replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Who gets it? I dont know - someone brought up some anecdotal hypothetical person who gets hepb vaccines. Anyway, I think we've exhausted all that there is to extract from this convo and I grow tired....

  22. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Vaccine-will you get it if forced by your employer? why/why not

    Agrippa replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Polio was not eradicated because it was naturally on the decline. Neither was Smallpox or Measles, Mumps, Rubella. Actually the latter three are on a rebound in some parts because of hysterical...
