  1. UMB FALL 2011

    guest10 replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Committee Ready means that all your application materials have been received and your application is ready for the admissions committee to review and begin the decision making process. Count on 6 to...

  2. UMB FALL 2011

    guest10 replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    A C in the foundation science classes is not the same as a C in an arts or humanities course. Grades in the four required sciences are predictive of success in our nursing program. You come into our...

  3. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    guest10 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It seems to me that this is a safe place to vent and so it has been well used for that. Everyone can share what co-workers do to drive them nuts and also what they do to really help and support. We...

  4. UMB FALL 2011

    guest10 replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Shady Grove campus too. The program is the same as Baltimore's - we give the same

  5. UMB FALL 2011

    guest10 replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    OK - first hurdle passed. They have all your stuff. The next status will be Committee Ready but that will not likely be any time soon. Best of

  6. UMB FALL 2011

    guest10 replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    If your TEAS score is in line with your GPA and close to the national average, you should not be worried unless both are on the low side. Higher than the national average is a plus. Lower is a red...

  7. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    guest10 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Granted that the jury is out on flu vaccines - but, if you were a hospital decision maker, what would you do? You have an obligation to your patients and an obligation to your employees. The science...

  8. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    guest10 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Does your employer have the right to protect its patients? If there were another scientifically supported option and the employer insisted on the flu shot over that, I could support your argument and...

  9. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    guest10 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Apparently you DO condone and even recommend false documentation as long as you see it as protecting your "rights". How is that not fraud? I cannot imagine that this is legal and therefore I...

  10. Scholars programs?

    guest10 replied to future nurse1's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Your best bet would be to check out the employers, not the schools. Clinical scholars programs have been drastically reduced in this economy. If a hospital has such a program, I don't think, in...

  11. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    guest10 replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Employers have rights, too - and obligations to the public, especially health care facilities. When rights conflict, the judicial system takes over. We don't know all the facts - we rarely get the...

  12. UMB FALL 2011

    guest10 replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Good for you! I am sure you have done all you can do. You would be surprised how many thoughtless, sloppy essays are submitted. That kind of thing can negate a great GPA. Rest assured, our...

  13. UMB FALL 2011

    guest10 replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    They will look at the application portfolios that are totally complete on the deadline first but as long as the letter gets there within the next couple of weeks, I can't see where you would have a...

  14. UMB FALL 2011

    guest10 replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I think you are absolutely right. I have monitored other threads like this and the traffic usually does heat up after the deadline. It hits fever pitch when acceptances start going out. It is a...

  15. UMB FALL 2011

    guest10 replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Take lot of care with your essay. Use it to convince the admissions committee that you can and will succeed in the program. Show your level of commitment which should include not only your passion...

  16. Housing close to UMB SG?

    guest10 replied to worldonastrng's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Shady Grove is a suburban, commuter campus and there are not scads of apartments or rooms within biking distance, although we at least have free parking. I wish you luck finding something like that...

  17. Excessive nursing applicants everywhere!

    guest10 replied to ready2getoutofCT's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You sound so discouraged and I am not sure you should be. Grades are important, yes, but so is experience and you have already been a nurse. Don't assume that every school focuses only on your GPA -...

  18. University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)-Spring 2011

    guest10 replied to sandi1743's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Students with slow computers and slow printers will soon be tearing their hair out. If you use the printers on campus to print out materials, you will have to pay. At Shady Grove, the public copiers...

  19. University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)-Spring 2011

    guest10 replied to sandi1743's topic in Maryland Nursing

    When you set up your UMB School of Nursing email account you would be wise to think about your name. You only get one attempt so you cannot change your mind later. An unprofessional name is really...

  20. University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)-Spring 2011

    guest10 replied to sandi1743's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I believe that there is a link on the UMB School of Nursing website where you could go to get the answer that question. If not, or you cannot find it, call the Help Desk at 410 706-HELP and see what...

  21. University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)-Spring 2011

    guest10 replied to sandi1743's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would suggest that you take out the registration instructions again and make sure you sent them to the right place or just send the form in again. If you did not use the interactive form there may...

  22. University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)-Spring 2011

    guest10 replied to sandi1743's topic in Maryland Nursing

    That is one of the two correct ones - you are

  23. University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)-Spring 2011

    guest10 replied to sandi1743's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You should only be registered for 4 credits' worth of 304. The 304 communications module has no credits and is a short part of the main class which meets on a different day and time. You will need...

  24. UMB Spring 2011

    guest10 replied to luvly189's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Great

  25. University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)-Spring 2011

    guest10 replied to sandi1743's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It's not over until it's over. We have had accepted students change their minds and drop out as late as the last week before classes begin. Make sure the office of admissions knows that you are...
