  1. MTF's and Civilian Side Nursing Questions

    Student4_life posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hello, Back story (I think this stuff might give me a slight edge on the competition, but I am not going to rely on it). I am prior service and have a 10 point hiring preference (tinnitus, nothing too...

  2. University of Maryland SON FNP Fall 2011

    Student4_life replied to stevie22's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Spring Break for UMB was nearly a month

  3. MTF's and Civilian Side Nursing Questions

    Student4_life replied to Student4_life's topic in Government, Military

    Looks rough. I am going to look into a contract with a Tricare hospital that is just down the street and get a years worth of experience from them before we move to our next duty station and try to...

  4. Pre-nursing: Ranked vs Unranked ABSN; ABSN vs ADN to BSN

    Student4_life replied to Phantc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The top schools have name value at the least. If you hear Hopkins that has an affect on you, and that can make a difference. It used to be said that a RN is a RN, but I am not sure that was completely...

  5. Rejected, but they used really nice paper...

    Student4_life posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    'Congratulations on being nominated. Although the Committee selected another student we really liked your application' (really really loose quote) Ugh, that was awful. But it really was a slugfest...

  6. Rejected, but they used really nice paper...

    Student4_life replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The quality of the paper was what I ment, it is a pretty impressive sheet of parchment (ok not that nice, but

  7. Are prereq. credits from community college looked down upon?

    Student4_life replied to legr's topic in Maryland Nursing

    All my classes were taken at a CC and I got into UMB first try, actually the majority of UMB's students are transfers from a CC (MHEC community college transfer report). I even took A&P I&II...

  8. When choosing a nursing school

    Student4_life replied to definity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Top schools are great. But unless one of those is your state university you are going to be paying too much for a nursing degree. JHU #1 but is 16000 a semester (an upper level program so you can go...

  9. Burnout advice

    Student4_life replied to rkumiwcc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel you 100%. I am an A student, always finish assignments early and perfectly, but in my current semester (4th) I am dragging. My only advice is to reflect on your life goals and shoot for them....

  10. Advice

    Student4_life replied to nadomel's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I know UMB has student led tutoring sessions, and JHU seemed really into making sure that its class cohorts stayed together so it seems they will have something similar. MC has tutoring for other...

  11. Male Nurses and Female Doctors

    Student4_life replied to elias_benjamin2001's topic in General Nursing

    Its a hard thing to deal with. Our whole lives we are made to think that our paycheck is tied to our manhood, but once that seperation is made it doesn't matter who makes more. I am a civilian nursing...

  12. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I could potentially be starting class with you this fall, so I don't have any info on what its like to be a student but... I think commuting to SG daily with a weekly clinical that could be in...

  13. National University - Desperate Enough to Pay Their Price Tag?

    Student4_life replied to BeanTrees's topic in California Nursing

    The world is uncertain. I am not sure the cost of a for-profit edu is worth it. Back when there was both a shortage of nurses and a surplus of students NU and the like were great , although expensive,...

  14. UMB Spring 2011

    Student4_life replied to luvly189's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for the shout-out! I did manage to get a pretty good look into the GPA's and test scores of the Spring 2011 class, but that really didn't help me at all (although I really appericate all the AN...

  15. AA or BSN? Online pre-licensure BSN?

    Student4_life replied to 1970chevy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Those 93 credits are more likely to hurt you than help. I don't know your GPA, but it seems to me that the programs in Cali are either superhigh GPA, super long waitlist, or super expensive private...

  16. Learning Disability and Getting Into A Program!

    Student4_life replied to unionnurse12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry to hear the bad news. Even if they just look at your 3.0 since recording treatment and your 3.5 science GPA there are still boatloads of candidates out there trying to get into school and...

  17. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'd say to see when last spring and fall heard back, but I am 0/3 on getting anywhere close to a correct date, which just further shows that past cycles have little bearing on current cycles. Spring...

  18. How long is the actual class for each RN prereq?

    Student4_life replied to lina.561's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Each and every school is going to be different. But credit hours are generally based on how many hours a week you spend in class assuming a 16 week semester. The 4 classes typical for nursing programs...

  20. Hearing Aids and Stethescopes

    Student4_life replied to Beenthinking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am prior service as well, and I also have tinny ears (although not to the extent of yours). There are electronic stethoscopes out there. Some that are Walkman style that would work with in ear...

  21. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thats pretty cool that it works out that way, but I don't think I put my original question into a proper context. I was really just wanting for all of us to get to know each other, give apt advice to...

  22. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am in as well, I was really conflicted about saying my status as not everyone has heard yet. I truely hope you (Kayrool, MomBak2Skool and KSM84 as well as the RN-BSN, CNL, and Adv Practice...

  24. The Wait

    Student4_life replied to CASM's topic in General Students

    Its cool, I wasn't sure. I have been in pre-reqs for 18months and applied for a Fall 2011 program 4 months ago (but the deadline was 2 months ago), I should hear back this week or

  25. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I feel like a jerk now, I was just about to close the webpage from when when I looked up Ms. Black to get the exact lyrics and just saw that she is only 13 (the whole driving around in a car and...
