  2. Stevenson University?

    SnoopysAunt replied to terps97's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Tex- Yeah, they changed the order of the courses around a little. You will have an easier fall semester than I did. In looking at your courses, the spring might be intense. Nursing school is hard...

  3. Stevenson University?

    SnoopysAunt replied to terps97's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Texxy- sorry, I don't mean to confuse you... My curriculum was different because they made some changes this year apparently. If they have you taking Computer Technology (informatics) in the summer,...

  4. Stevenson University?

    SnoopysAunt replied to terps97's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Texxy- Unfortunately I don't think I can give you much advice on your specific situation. You have to decide what is right for you. However, I will tell you that the part-time program is...

  5. Stevenson University?

    SnoopysAunt replied to terps97's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Texxy- I have the informatics book. I'd love to sell it to you. Make me an offer. I am a part-timer. The program is very challenging. They made a lot of changes to the curriculum last year and had a...

  6. Stevenson University?

    SnoopysAunt replied to terps97's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am in the program now and I agree with pretty much everything Nicole said. It's not an impossible program, but it's not easy either... If you come be prepared to work hard. It's

  7. Admission Chances in nursng with a F?

    SnoopysAunt replied to DannyA's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a second degree student and I got in to nursing school with an F in Film Analysis and a C/D in my first year of college in Biology I/II almost twelve years ago. Film anaylsis was a horrible, waste...

  8. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Oops, I misread your post! I thought you said that you were already offered a spot @ JHU! My program is ehhh. I'm not so happy with it. In my second-degree cohort, we are losing almost half next...

  9. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland Nursing

    CONGRATS Stacy! It's funny, throughout the whole prereq experience I wanted to go to Columbia, but the cost scared me away. So, I ended up at another local university in Baltimore. I figured that I...

  10. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Stacy, The past couple of winters have been pretty mild, but we get snow and blizzards too! They are actually calling for 25 inches of snow this winter. Coming from NY, you will have no problem...

  11. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet, but there are plenty of hospitals in the area, and we have the best healthcare in the nation, so I think grads have a comparatively easier time finding a position. The local...

  12. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Stacy- If you want to live in the City, try Canton, Harbor East, or Federal Hill (However they are all not kid friendly) Outside of the city, check out Pikesville (just outside of the city) Mt....

  13. Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

    SnoopysAunt replied to GoalsInTransition's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The area immediately around campus is one of the worst parts of town. However, I think you could easily live in Fells Point or Canton without a car. Hopkins also has a transportation network to help...

  14. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    SnoopysAunt replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks Grey Lady! In the first semester of my BSN program, we've had close to 50% decide not to come back next semester. Not because they are failing out, but because they are unhappy with the...

  15. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    SnoopysAunt replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    GreyLady- I have a question, what's the attrition rate for the BSN program at MD? Are there a lot of students who start and subsequently drop

  16. HELP Resident calling baby "stupid" What to do!!!??

    SnoopysAunt replied to WittleOnesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree with some of the more recent posters. It might not be appropriate to say in front of parents, but maybe this is her coping mechanism. Confront her first. Without doing so you are just...

  17. pH Acid Base question

    SnoopysAunt replied to dbarnes2's topic in General Nursing

    I just worked it out and I got compensated respiratory acidosis... I was told that the greater the difference is the problem system, so the pco2 is more abnormal, so you have a respiratory

    I'm in MD. I always wondered why B&N did this. Now I know. Pretty

  19. Can anyone talk to me re: Stevenson RN-BSN online option?

    SnoopysAunt replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I have a prof who is a graduate of the RN-BSN program and she said she LOVED it. The BSN progam is a completely different story. Curriculum changes combined with a young faculty = not a happy student...

  20. Helping others outside of the hospital

    SnoopysAunt replied to labman's topic in General Nursing

    If she was in obvious distress, It would have been irresponsible for you not to help her. However, if she was OK then I see nothing wrong with letting the paramedics do what they are trained to do....

  21. Can anyone talk to me re: Stevenson RN-BSN online option?

    SnoopysAunt replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am in the BSN program... I will tell you this, the RN-BSN program is completely separated from the students that are pursuing BSNs. You have to make sure you are evaluating the right program....

  24. role of nursing diagnosis versus doctor diagnosis?

    SnoopysAunt replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    You don't. I mean you are always going to use a systematic method to asses your patients, but in the "real" world of nursing a lot of this nursing careplan stuff is NEVER

  25. Nurse Independent Prescriber?

    SnoopysAunt replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks elkpark! I guess "independent judgement" isn't a good description, but the nurse better have good assessment skills and know what she's (or he's)
