  1. My Dream to be a Labor and Delivery Nurse

    AprilAnney replied to MrsSassyLassie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This sounds a lot like my life a few years ago. After I had my first child, I realized that I loved the pregnancy/labor/childhood/peripartum period. I originally started off with the intention of...

  2. Anne Arundel Comm College Spring 15

    AprilAnney replied to 3withmeinmd's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would wait and just do nursing school, even if that means waiting until fall 2015. You'll qualify to be a CNA after you complete your first semester of nursing school

  3. Passed NCLEX w/ How Many Resources?

    AprilAnney replied to cnurseisshe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed in 75 & only used the "box of questions" that HESI gave us after our school-required HESI review. There were about 1500 questions on index

  4. UMSON Spring 2013

    AprilAnney replied to eodenwal's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congrats to everyone who got in for Spring 2013! I'm in the Spring 2012 cohort. I'll start off first by telling everyone to remain calm. It's not as bad as everyone says nursing school is. I've...

  5. AACC Spring 2012 hopefuls?

    AprilAnney posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hello fellow MD nurses! I'm just looking to see if there are any prospective Spring 2012 students at AACC? I'm finishing up A&P2 this summer and will be putting my application in in the fall....

  6. Baths!

    AprilAnney replied to Nursingschoolzombie's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    That is beyond unsafe for patients. And I'm not saying that you're not good at your job, but there is NO WAY any person can give proper care to that many patients. Doesn't matter how amazing you...

  7. working in Er tonight...

    AprilAnney replied to luvmykids0810's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    You have no one to talk to because you're on the computer instead of doing work. I'm part of the Flex Unit at my hospital and I feel out of place every day because I'm on a different unit every day....

  8. Baths!

    AprilAnney replied to Nursingschoolzombie's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    First off, I'm wondering how you can give proper care to 9-12 patients. That's a heavy patient load, and it's also a patient safety issue. What happens if you have a few fall risk patients who need...

  9. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    AprilAnney replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Scrub tops range from $20-$35ish. Bottoms can be as cheap as $15 but up to $35 (that's how much my comfy ones were). I paid $35 for a lab coat, but they have cheaper options. I have 2 scrub tops and...

  10. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    AprilAnney replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I got scrubs and lab coat at Scrubs & Beyond in Arundel Mills mall. Take your student ID and get 10% off. I suggest trying on a few different kinds (and don't wait until the week before school...

  11. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    AprilAnney replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Don't feel overwhelmed! It's just a different system. It took me a bit of getting used to, also. When I was at U of Delaware and at AACC, I felt like the advisors held my hand and always pointed me...

  12. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    AprilAnney replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Orientation for Spring 2012 was 2 days. The dates/times weren't posted until like a month before, though. As for a previous question about scrubs- just a white top and khaki bottoms, doesn't matter...

  13. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    AprilAnney replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You'll get a letter with a form that you fill out if you're accepting, declining, or requesting deferment. When you send that back, send in your deposit (or you can pay the deposit online). Apple-...

  14. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    AprilAnney replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I got in my first try... but I'll tell you that it's probably easier to get in for the spring semester than it is for the fall. I'm not guaranteeing that this is true, but here's my logic: Fall...

  15. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    AprilAnney replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congrats to all that got in! And for those that didn't get in this time, just tweak a few things & try again! Just a few months ago, I was in your shoes. I'm just finishing out my first semester...

    AprilAnney replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I won't be able to make it to the mixer, I'll be working that evening and unable to slip away for a bit. And thanks for the heads up on the discount at Scrubs & Beyond! I gotta head in to...

  17. UMB Spring 2012

    AprilAnney replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Baltimore campus people- what times are the orientation again? I know it's Jan 18 & 19, but the times aren't listed on the

  18. UMB Spring 2012

    AprilAnney replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Grey Lady- Can you shed any light on the financial aid topic? I need to purchase books. In the past, I've always used my financial aid to do so- does the school offer book store advances? I'll also...

  19. AACC Spring 2012 hopefuls?

    AprilAnney replied to AprilAnney's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I noticed that today, too. And I got a bill in the mail. Interesting, considering I didn't submit the health form yet (I plan on attending UMSON) and they were very adamant that if you didn't have...

  20. UMB Spring 2012

    AprilAnney replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I got the Fundamentals of Nursing text about a month ago when I was convinced I wasn't getting in to UMSON and would end up at AACC. Haven't had a chance to get past the second

    AprilAnney replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Amazon is awesome when it comes to text books. Do you have an amazon student account? You can sign up for it as long as you have a .edu email address. You get a free trial of Amazon Prime (which...

  22. UMB Spring 2012

    AprilAnney replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just called the office and apparently the form I sent was blank (it wasn't compatible with my Mac), so I had to scan in the document I printed and send it to them that way. …now, to wait 48 more...

    AprilAnney replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It has been 48 hours since I submitted it, but I submitted it on Friday after

  24. UMB Spring 2012

    AprilAnney replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just tried, but it told me I'm not eligible yet. I probably still need the hold lifted, though. Gotta wait for someone to approve my Registration request thingie. Let us know if you're able to...

  25. UMB Spring 2012

    AprilAnney replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for the heads up! I called earlier today to confirm they received all of my paperwork and my deposit. They told me that I should be able to set everything up on Monday. But that means I...
