  1. Nursing School question.

    Many highschool educations do not properly prepare a student for college level courses and they spend time in community colleges taking courses they should have taken in high school instead of taking...
  2. Nursing School question.

    You got it. It's 2+2. unless your high school sold you short, cause remedial classes will extend your pre-reqs. Some schools are 1+3, and there are a few 4 year programs, but the vast majority of BSN...
  3. Short Answer: You can apply to regular BSN
  4. Howard CC RN program vs Towson BSN program?

    IMO, stay at Howard to knock out all your pre-reqs and then see which school accepts you. I know Towson is very difficult to get into so keep your grades high. MHEC has info on Grad rates and nclex...
  5. Yeah it's 60 credits or an AA from a MD cc before august 1st. The website is
  6. Touro Nevada cancels Spring 2011 BSN cohort!?

    I think that not telling you of the new cutoff would be unethical. Surely they are so overwhelmed with applications that they made their last GPA cutoff well above 3.0 and are saving applicants time...
  7. UMB FALL 2011

    Nice. I just took the rest of my application into Admissions in Baltimore. I was killing my paper with revisions, so much so that my final paper had no soul. Luckily I had an early rev saved, made...
  8. I see you are in MD, check out MHEC. You can get upto 19k a year. There also is HRSA, but I am not sure that is an option since you have a family. Other than that the pickings are pretty slim for...
  9. The nursing surplus and "timing it"......

    People have been writing about the lack of jobs and the glut of new nurses due to the economy on this forum since 2004 (and I am sure it goes back later than that, but that the oldest I've seen). Do...
  10. Why do people rent text books?

    Renting is more convinent then buying and selling, and it places the risk on a company vice the student. Many of us dont have the time to monitor Amazon accounts and prep books for shipping, so...
  11. I don't think my TEAS score is good enough :(

    Dont worry, the only people that post their scores here either have really high scores or are liars. Its a percentile based test, so its impossiable for everyone to get a high score, for ever 99th...
  12. UAA BSN/ADN vs Charter College?

    The mods moved it for
  13. UMSON BSN@Shady Grove Spring 2011

    Please keep us updated. And by us I mean those of us that are currently applying to shady
  14. Hospital Corpsman needs an advice..

    Look at UMUC, it's a great school, fully accredited and will grant you some credit for time served. You really should look at taking classes locally though to maximize the effect of the GI Bill and to...
  15. chances of getting in? :(

    I don't like your odds. Your sci GPA is just too low, but the good news is that spring is easier to get into then fall, so be sure to crush those last two sciences and if you can take the teas again....
  16. Johns Hopkins acceptance?

    I know what its like to go for the req of multiple schools, I was going for 4 when I started pre-reqs. I even made a spread sheet of the schools, their pre-reqs and a list of all the courses I would...
  17. Johns Hopkins acceptance?

    Can anyone tell me a little bit about John's Hopkins nursing programs in regards to how difficult it is to get in. I've heard people compare it to ivy leagues so that is why I am asking. I am...
  18. UMB FALL 2011

    Hope you all are having a great holiday weekend and that you will have some time available to reflect on the reason for the time off. I posted this as a stand alone in the MD forum, but wanted to be...
  19. So I really hope alot of you are taking a look at what I posted and checking it out without posting. As of 2008 (again the reports in edu are delayed, just like all reports) only 17 nursing students...
  20. Schools that select based on GPA and tests.

    Not a silly assumption, I have a highly competitive GPA no matter what classes you count and got a highly competitive precentile on the TEAS, so there is definately a connection there. But I feel you...
  21. Schools that select based on GPA and tests.

    Sorry but I dont know of any that dont at least want an essay and a letter of rec or two. Just wondering what kind of grades and test scores you have to warrant such a
  22. TEAS Test study guide

    ^^^ what he said, I reviewed that book for a few hours and then took the teas the next day (I discovered the night before that the only time there was a test date before my application due date was...
  23. Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    Hey, Ghetto schools are great for clinicals. USC in LA teaches Army trama docs, UMB and JHU are in the heart of Baltimore and produce great Doctors and Nurses. You got to think of the
  24. Chemistry

    Chem is a beast. Although I got an A in it, I dont think I would take it in the summer. But since you are on a wait list I am guessing you are going for Pass/Fail and not an A. If thats the case, go...
  25. Do I still have a shot at getting in?

    The C & B in A&P hurt, but that D is much worse. I know that you are going to retake it in the spring, but the admissions board isnt going to see the retake grade, just that you got a D and...
