Parenteral. People will say "parental." A parental injection! No, don't think so!

If I was in your shoes, I would say Fells Point all the way. You can find a more diverse, edgy, vibrant neighborhood. To me, the suburbs equate to long commute, parking issue at work, lack of neighborhood feel, inability to walk anywhere. In Fells...

Since you are still in school, why not decide on your school first. There are so many hospitals here, and almost all accessible by public transport (at the very least bus). But there are less schools, especially if you are doing BSN. If you decide...

Not sure if you've found something yet, but Baltimore has lots of walkable neighborhoods surrounding the harbor. You should look into Fells Point, Canton, and Federal Hill for starters. Locust Point is beside Fort McHenry, and is also good, tho not...

It sounds like you answered your own question. Congrats on finding exactly what you want!

You know what, Dial911? You have given a lot of yourself to this world. It is hard to hear you beat yourself up. Obviously you found your niche. Stick to it.

You can't go wrong mailing a cover letter and resume, but directly calling is a gamble, and could go either way. Write a real good letter and emphasize your strong points that suit you to that exact position. It's a great chance to include all the ...

Does anyone know if we are getting fed tomorrow?

Congrats Jess! I was really sweatin' for you. Dang, you had to wait a long time. You really need to celebrate extra. I'm sure that was torture. And I will see you at CPR!

I was just told that we can hand-in paperwork at Orientation on the 15th. I personally can't wait for that session!

American Red Cross of Central Maryland Rachel: Above is the link to the Red Cross. I hope it works. Click on Class Info, and follow the links to the class schedules for "CPR for the Professional Rescuer". It would be great if you took the class ...

I went to LabCorp on York Road for the drug test. They didn't charge me a dime. They didn't ask for my insurance card either. I have no idea why that is. I used the LabCorp form that was enclosed in our mailing. All they wanted was my driver's l...

CPR: In case it would help anyone, I found a CPR course at the Red Cross in Baltimore that IS acceptable to the nursing dept. I know because I just called to check. It is 8 hours long - you can do it in one day, and it is called "CPR/AED for the P...

I too am very curious about the spring schedule. Plus I want to know if we still get Spring break. I guess we will learn a lot on the 15th. I signed up for the dosage class, but the background check website was down. I'm trying again today. It w...

Rachel: yes we are in lab together Wednesdays. I sit with Sheila. Sheila and I are the same age. BTW I just registered for the dosage class on campus.

Just got my 'fat' packet. It's a lot to do! More TASKS! Rachel, we are in the same class, and I know who you are.

I am day-Essex. My name is Laurie. I am currently taking A+P 2 with Dr. Van de Wal, and Micro with Dr. Gilinger at Essex. Rachel, are you in my class?? I am 37 and have a 12-year old daughter. I came to nursing because my social work license did...

Why did that one chic say 'congrats to class of 2013'? Aren't we going to finish in Fall of 2012? I paid my $200 already. LOL. I was too excited. I can't wait to get the packet in the mail. This is giving me a surge of energy to finish this sem...

I'm at Essex.

!!!!!! JUST NOTICED $200 SEAT FEE for Spring 2011 ! EVERYBODY CHECK YOUR SIMON! This was not up 2 hours ago.

Just in casual conversations around campus, I have been amazed at people who have told me they sumitted what amounts to an incomplete application. Like they would say to me, "Oh I never got around to the TEAS test, but I applied anyway to see what h...

I have heard that it runs Mon - Thurs, and starts very early in the morning. Two days are spent at a clinical placement (a hospital), and the other two are on campus. I have heard that placements can be anywhere. In other words, they use many diff...

I don't think that matters so much, but I think you specify which campus you want on the sheet.

Got my TEAS scores!

Wow. Glad I'm not the only one. We are the same age. What courses are you taking this Fall? I'm taking Micro and A+P 2. That's all I need. -Laurie
