Am also interested! Currently an FNP student with expected graduation of 6/2016. Have 3 years ER nursing experience. Have always thought about joining the military and that looming student loan debt is making it even more tempting. Am a single mother as well. Where can you be stationed as a NP? Can you bring your family with you? Am also a single mother but bf and I are looking at getting married in the near future.

Can you share the programs you have found? I will be graduating next year but looking ahead into these programs.

I am currently a team nurse in my community clinic (which is implementing PCMH). I am in the beginning stages of starting a diabetes self-management education program with group medical visits in my clinic. Looking for tips or advice? My idea for the program is to have a cohort of about 9 type II diabetics go through 8 weeks of diabetes self-managment education (1hr per week). After the completion of the educational portion. They will return to the clinic every 3 months for about 9 months for "Medical group visits". These group visits will be similar to support group meetings. With the purpose of seeing improved a1c levels and self-management skills. I have been reading up on DSME curriculum which I will be basing the education portion off the program. Any advice will be appreciated. Have not started up a program before.

I applied to UMD for adult np but will be going to GWU. I live in Montgomery County, MD. Plan to work fulltime and go part time.

I'm going part time. Have you heard anything a out the program? Know anyone who's gone thru it?

Part-time. You? Have you heard anything of the program or know anyone who's gone thru it?

Just got my email today... I'm accepted!!!

I submitted the day before deadline. You?

I'm still waiting to hear back over here. Received an email that said my application was in the process of being reviewed by the committee. Jmunsg2010 How did you get word of your acceptance?

Did any one do clinical scholars at UMMC? If so how did you feel about the commitment? What unit do you work on? How do you like working at UMMC?

Kina21, do you mind saying which local program you graduated from?

Has anyone heard anything concerning the patho exam? Same date or is it being postponed?

Oh ok ya just checked my e-mail guess it was taken down again...

The quiz is up guys.

yea I use the code that was posted on black board. My Nursing lab Course ID: CRSCD65-229020

So the patch goes on the right side on the top and ... the left arm of the lab coat? am I right? ... I couldn't find the directions for the lab coat in the handbook.

I was able to sign into my blackboard account but there are no courses up. Did you guys figure out how to view the courses?

PDAs have been mentioned on different threads on this site... should I be saving up for one? Do you current nursing students at UMD find them necessary? Do most students have them?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

If you pull the list up on the UMD of Baltimore bookstore site, there are a more items on the list. I think it's just because the Baltimore bookstore has more items in stock. http://umb.bncollege.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/BNCBHomePage?storeId=34553&catalogId=10001&langId=-1 There is even an extra book that is "required" that came up on the Baltimore list.... for SG1 students. I too will be attending the shady grove campus, I just happen to pull the list up on the umd bookstore site and noticed the difference. **Makes things more complicated than it needs to be. But oh well.

Also guys Allheart.com is having doing a 25$ off 119$. If you buy your steth and uniforms now you can save some money. http://www.allheart.com/

Well I went to the book store today and the first one is just the book and the second one is a package with the required text book, extra books and the access code for mynursinglab. THe guy at the store said most students buy the big 215$ package since buying the book and access code for mynursinglab separately would end up costing around the same as the package.

Ok for 304 on the book list there is the Kozier Fundamentals of Nursing - W/DVD listed at 112.95 ISBN: 9780131714687 and Kozier Funamentals of Nursing Special Package listed at 215.20 ISBN: 9780138146559 I am confused as to which one is the one that brings the book and the mynursinglab that we need.

I was wondering if the style of the scrubs matter or if as long as the top is white and the pants are tan its ok ...

Can a previous student please do us future nursing students a favor by going over what text we will definitely be needing. It seems like the safest thing to do is buy all the "required" texts from the bookstore and then return whatever books the prof. says we don't need.
