  1. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I have heard it said that the national attrition rate for nursing schools is 25%. Ours is closer to 10 to 15%. It's a slippery number because it only counts people who do not graduate on time and...

  2. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    guest10 replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I so wish I had the answer. Anything I could tell you now would be conjecture and I would hate to think that anyone would make a crucial decision based on that. You must be so tired of me asking you...

    guest10 replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It means that they totally understand everyone's frustrations and it is an attempt to reach out to you and encourage you to hang on. I just heard that the plan is to try to telephone all the admitted...

    I posted this on another thread: It is totally understandable to see the delay as a lack of organization. Believe me, UMB knows that we are losing promising candidates because of it - it is our...

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It is totally understandable to see the delay as a lack of organization. Believe me, UMB knows that we are losing promising candidates because of it - it is our nightmare, too. In addition to the...

  10. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Names and status - like Requirements Outstanding, Complete and Ready for Review, Committee Ready.....just what you see when you check your status online. I have connectivity issues with the system...

  11. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would imagine that the goal would be to send out all letters at once but would not be surprised if batches are sent out as they are ready. When your letter gets to you will depend on the Baltimore...

  12. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    guest10 replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    We have been using the same form for ages. You won't need a flu shot until you are ready to go to clinicals - later in your first semester - and even then, not all clinical sites require them....

    guest10 replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Well, I can help with one worry, at least. UMB does not require a physical, just a set of immunizations. You can find and download the form at http://www.umaryland.edu/health/medform.pdf. It says...

  14. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thank you for your kind words, I have been hoping I have been helping. I am sorry to say that it does not surprise me that it won't be until the middle of next week that the announcements will be...

  15. CNL program at University of Maryland

    guest10 replied to Blondell's topic in Maryland Nursing

    As far as I know, no one applying to either CNL or BSN has heard

  16. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Even if I could tell you how many applied it would not mean anything. Traditionally, we receive fewer applicants for spring than for fall but it all depends on the quality of the applicant pool -...

    My bet is that if you are smart enough to participate in this thread you are going to be

  19. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Strangely enough, I hear that very same question from all age groups. Both campuses are mixed ages, ethnicity, gender, you name it. There is no overwhelming majority of any type. You are now in...

  20. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The way it was explained to me was that the goal was originally to tell all applicants what their status was by November 1 but that it will more likely happen by November 8. I feel for you...

  21. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    As a baby boomer, I can tell you that my personal definition of "old" keeps changing. I seem to be keeping it firmly in the distant future and less attached to any particular number. I prefer to...

  22. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    guest10 replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    November 1 was the goal to have all letters in the mail for both CNL and BSN and status in the system updated. That has been moved back to November 8. It is my understanding that the system will be...

    guest10 replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Just more people (talented, knowledgeable people) involved in the selection process. They will not miss anything in an applicant's portfolio. It's a good thing, really, even if it takes

  24. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just found out that the admissions process may take up to a week longer than November 1. Please do not freak out if you have not been given an offer by November 1 - it does not mean that you won't...

  25. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    guest10 replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would think it very important to clearly explain why you left that program. A good reason should not hurt you, a frivolous one probably would. Remember that the whole objective of the admissions...
