I can't seem to find the thread for the average pay for CNA's or PCT's in MD but I was just wondering what that was if anyone on here knows. I need to know if I should quit my fulltime job to get the experience. I would like to quit this summer to ...

Does anyone know if it's just as competitive to get into Coppin State's Nursing program verses others in the state (or area)? I was under the impression that if you got the GPA and high enough score on the entrance exam then you would get in. But I ...

For those who got accepted what were your scores like? GPA/ TEAS? I need to retake API and APII and I still have to take Micro. Everything else is done. My overall GPA is okay but I don't have the best science grades (hence the retakes). What do...

It's in MD. I have found that not a lot of people really respond from BCCC specially but if you search supplies for nursing school I find that its pretty universal. i hope this makes sense.

Oh. I have classes Mon-Fri. My last final is on Dec 19. It sucks. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Im not sure which school you go to but AACC added 3 days because we were out three. Kinda cool kinda not.

I live in the city and ive never encountered that but then again i dont walk alone, at night, and I drive everywhere. I got lost downtown around lexington and 1st mariner for half an hour at 930pm a few weeks ago. I was dressed a little differently ...

I have to agree with the above poster. Ive taken many classes online including English, Algebra, A&P, Philosophy, etc. I find that there are indeed more to do. For English i had just 4-6 papers to write if i had it on campus but online i had that...

You are absolutely right! That was very nice of them to call though. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

I'd like to either specialize in Emergency Medicine or subspecialize in Critical Care. I work in a hospital on a step down unit from ICU and I'm so fascinated with whats going on with these patients. As a nurse i dont have a preference for a unit al...

I am also majoring in nursing and applying to med school after. Im glad im not the only one. Good luck. :) Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

For some reason i was thinking 695 but that way works. Less traffic. 695 is horrible in the morning and evening either way. Catonsville or that area near wilkins ave may not be a bad choice either as far as housing near the city. There are many optio...

Im not applying yet but i live near the school. Glen Burnie is 15-20 minutes away but the traffic would suck getting into the city. If you drive you have to consider parking and if you take the MTA the commute is a couple of hours. You are better off...

When you apply for a job at a hospital regarding patient care it says specifically that clinicals arent considered experience. If that was the case everyone would have experience and the competition would be even more great. Even still they ask for a...

Could not have said this better myself! Life is all about making mistakes. Learning from them is the important part. You understand your situation and recognize your potential. That attitude will get your far. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

You guys are so amazing. If ever you fall behind or lose track of your goals come to allnurses for motivation and encouragement. The support we have for one another is just simply amazing. Thanks guys! Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

This is so so so true. Many times i sit down and study and then look up 3 hours have passed and i only read one paragraph. Either i blacked out and partied or im not studying effectively. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Omg! I thought i wrote this! Lol. I am also 23 but i graduated in 06 (late birthday). I really wasted the last 4-6 years but im starting over, boosting my gpa with retakes and just being really focused. Im a pct and i work with RNs who are merely one...

Thats what i do. Break up the reading over a number of days. It makesnthe reading less overwhelming and more managable. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

I am taking 5 classes and working 36 hours a week this semster. I have one lab (so its like 6 classes) i have class 5 days a week and i work 3. Heres my "dream" schedule (hopefully this will work this semster): Mon- Get off at 730am. Class 9a-11a. Ho...

This is how i study but i only read the chapters once. I read, outline in one color, powerpoints in another color, questions i have in another color, highlight vocabulary, and notes from lecture in another colors. I really like colors. Lol Sent from ...

Lucky! Ive repeated a lot of classes. Oh well. Ill get my gpa up and just apply to a more lenient university. I believe ill get in somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Omg! This is what my schedule will be looking like when i start nursing school and its good to know that it can be done. Good job! Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

I was wondering about actual course retakes but if they dont look at upward trend im screwed. Lol Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

I know what you mean though. Ive heard many times that when in nursing you stop trying to get straight As and just focus on passing because it gets difficult and overwhelming.
