  1. Maryland BSN hopefuls for Fall 2012

    Student4_life replied to ixchel's topic in Maryland Nursing

    JHU is ungodly expensive, add the commute to and from, as well as to the clinical sites + parking for both and tuition is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait it out and apply to UMB @

  4. Looking to buy UMSON BSN textbooks!

    Student4_life replied to Hargrove86's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'll sell you all my stuff, and give you my scrubs and lab coat too (as long as youre a size medium). I decided halfway thru my first semester that nursing wasn't for me (left with A's and B's so its...

  5. UMB Spring 2012

    Student4_life replied to kels320's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The wait takes forever, but they are just as eager to tell you as you are to find out. That being said, when you guys find out I have books and gear to sell. After breezing thru and enjoying my...

  6. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It's not a survive or not kind of thing. Don't psyche yourself out. Don't get me wrong, it's difficult, but very doable (I am putting in the same effort that got me A's in pre reqs and getting high...

  7. UMB prerequisites, help please!

    Student4_life replied to ambz13's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Really focus on your 4 sciences. Those are the most imp. classes. Exactly how they view a failed class, req or not, is up in the air. I say take this event and run with it, pull all A's from here on...

  8. Petition to forgive student loan debt!

    Student4_life replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

    And if communism is so great why has it never been implemented??? Without the promise of greatness, where does the motivation to be great come from? Why would doctors and engineers work so damn hard...

  9. Petition to forgive student loan debt!

    Student4_life replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

    To all those that complain that school should be free: just look at how much money is wasted on Pell grants that never result in a degree. And even if school was free, there is still the cost of room,...

  10. What would you do if you received more scholarship money than you needed.

    Student4_life posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just a question. No malice around it, nor is it a class assignment. Just me wanting to know what you would do if you were given one more partial scholarship than you needed. Would you accept it and...

  11. What would you do if you received more scholarship money than you needed.

    Student4_life replied to Student4_life's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for all your input. After much internal conflict I have decided to accept the additional funds and use them to pay for "wants," namely a new computer that my other scholarships wouldn't have...

  12. What would you do if you received more scholarship money than you needed.

    Student4_life replied to Student4_life's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I should clarify.Let's say the merit based scholarships were all received legitimately, and that the first 3 paid for the complete cost of going to school, tuition and fees covered, as well as a...

  13. Maryland BSN hopefuls for Fall 2012

    Student4_life replied to ixchel's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You might want to worry a lil' bit, GPA alone doesn't get you into Maryland. You really got to bring it all: GPA, LOR, TEAS, volunteer work, and a well edited personal statement. My application GPA...

  14. Associates vs Bachelors Degree

    Student4_life replied to ysin's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    An ADN isn't always cheaper. There are boatloads of for profits on both sides of the 2 year vs 4 year entry to practice debate. Additionally your public and prestigious private universities have more...

  15. You paid HOW MUCH for nursing school??!!

    Student4_life replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Students

    I can't believe anyone would pay to learn path, or to work 12 hour clinicals. Now on a more serious note 40k a year is alot, but if it means that much to someone what is it for us to judge (personally...

  16. Nursing Jewelry

    Student4_life replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is unprofessional. Do you see Dr.s, or PharmD's, or Lawyers wearing such things. Nope. But you do see rappers and wannabe thugs sporting their bling. By trying to show your peers that you...

  17. Grants

    Student4_life replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dang newguy (or newgirl) already challenging facts Usually I would just tell someone to do their own research on something like this (to boost your google-Fu and research skills) but I am including...

  18. does it mean I'll have a job?

    Student4_life replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the contract. I am under scholarship contract and if I am not hired the scholarship is gifted to me, even then I much rather have the job than that forgiveness (esp since my...

  19. Top nursing schools in the US (thought this was interesting)

    Student4_life replied to xtxrn's topic in General Students

    Alright, my school is in the top ten!!! But like people before me said, the rankings are based on whatever they want to be based on, however I do notice a trend that schools with large...

  20. how are you paying

    Student4_life replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    My first two years I used the GI Bill. Having busted my butt to get grades that would all but assure a spot in a merit based acceptance NS. With those grades, I decided to apply for any large...

  21. Grants

    Student4_life replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What I am saying is that you have to shell out 23k because you chose to apply to a school that costs 23k. Pell grants are income based, if your EFC is 5000 then you get 550, even if you are going to a...

  22. Schools and teas testing limits

    Student4_life replied to jaykay04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would call the schools, you should be fine though (the schools that only allow 2 can just look at the first 2, the schools that allow 3 can look at all

  23. "Too many" nursing programs?

    Student4_life replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    "Too many" depends on which side of Nursing Education you are on. I am sure the 2/3 to 3/4 (depending on who's stats you are looking at) of nonaccepted qualified applicants and those on 4 year...

  24. How did you prove yourself?

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

    Keep your post-bac grade point average at a 4.0, that says lots. You also should apply to schools that take the entire applicant into consideration (as opposed to a school that just makes cuts based...

  25. Nursing & Your Path of Education

    Student4_life replied to Valintin's topic in General Students

    I am starting a BSN program in 3 weeks. I chose BSN over ADN for a variety of reasons. 1. I really wanted a bachelors. I joined the military right out of HS and the quality of life between HS and...
