Hi vhfhflzz, Are you located in Maryland? Yes, I plan to attend orientation in September! Nice to connect with you.

I was accepted into the program! I have been a nurse for 7 years, attended Johns Hopkins University with an overall GPA under 3.4 and have worked outpatient my whole career. I reside in Maryland. I am looking forward to connecting with other students from Maryland.

Looks good, I would elaborate on you ED volunteer experience

Help, has anyone interviewed for Patient First? Any advice on the test given?

Hi, Does anyone work at PF? Or been interviewed for a RN job there? I'm scheduled for an interview and would like help to study for the test...

OMG!!!! I just made the choice to attended JHU and after reading the last few replys I feel uneasy!!!! Well, I guess I have to live with it now and choke up the debt....wish there were more people praising JHU...Where are the JHU students anyway???

Thank you for your replys! I am leaning toward JHU but Im receiving feedback from non-nurses implying that it makes more sense to go to UMB and do the MSN/CNL program in 16 months and graduate with a MSN as opposed to a BSN.... Im very frustrated, because most nurses I spoke to are telling me to start off with a BSN get a few years of exp. then decide which area (MSN) to go into. Im torn!!!!!!!!!!!!! pLS CONTINUE TO GIVE YOUR ADVICE AND REASONING

Yea, I know they dont open back up untill the 4th. University of Maryland is the school Im interested in.

Blondell, how do I PM???

what does "kwim" mean? After the RN experience, what roles do the CNL's serve in the hospital?

a CNL is a clinical nurse leader its a MSN degree program

I was recently accepted into a CNL program over Christamas and I havent been able to contact any advisors at the school since it was the holiday. I would LOVE to get some input for CNLs I'm in desperate need of advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been admitted into a BSN and CNL/MSN program and from reading the previous post I'm assuming that most of you are already nurses. So, are you nurses saying that it is wiser to get a BSN and some experience before a MSN?? Also, as a new CNL grad would I work bedside first before obtaining a CNL role??? Are CNL roles marketable??

Agrippa, are you in the CNL program at UMB??? If so are you in the 16month or 23 month?? To the other CNL/MSN critics, please continue to post replys. I'm looking for as much info/perspectivies as possible before I make a choice. I'm a bit hesitant because I havent been able to find any CNL's to speak with, where are they??? HELP!

thanks for replying!! I look forward to hearing from you as you continue in the program. I have been reading different reports about CNLs and how its not marketable; so im a bit hesitant about enrolling in the program? I want to make sure my job as a CNL won't confine me to the specific role if is not employable.
