I'm in the CNL program at UMD right now and I think the most important thing to remember is that a CNL is still an entry level nurse. You will be competing for the same jobs as other new nurses and have just as much to learn when you start! The difference is an ADDED (not replaced) emphasis on critical thinking - which, after some experience, will help you "climb the ladder" but more importantly - help promote evidenced based practice! We get lots of fundamental skills practice - the same as the BSN students - but we have a have a few extra projects/papers on top of that! Its nice to be in a group of people with one career behind them already and be coming back to school after some time. Hope that helps :)

NOt at all as long as it Khaki, we have so many different shade in my lab group. I remember how excited I was when I got accepted and went through all these...:) ...I just finished my last exam today and I felt so great that's it's over. PM me if you want sepecific questions :)

White top and khaki pant will be our uniform color. Shoes....will be any brand as long as it's white.

Mean while, go back and take a look on your A&P materials, you will need to know them for especially Health Assessment and pathos. Enjoy the break because it will be hard to fine when the school is started. If any questions for anything please ask. I was in your shoes last year and I am back to help out.

i think you should try to apply and see what happen. At least you weren't there when it happen.

Thanks, and what a mess!

If you dont mind telling me, what happen at to St Joe? Thanks, B

the orientation was nice and overwhelming. Yes we have a big crowd. Good luck tomorrow, I remember how exciting it was. :)

Bluelimunkie, For the lab coat, you wear the business casual underneath. You can wear either the School uniform or business casual+ lab coat to the stimulation lab. That's what I understand anyway from Baltimore campus orientation. Blondell

Guys, Did anyone get the financial aid package from school? I sent my document last Monday and they ask for it again last friday. Do they screw up a lot? ugh I need to go to school again!

As for the book do we need Phamacology book at all. Thank you.

under my name Blondell you will see the envelope icon. Click on that and you will go to the email and you can start from there, I think. :)
