    leenak replied to gottagetmyrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Chem/AP1 and Micro/AP2 seems like a solid

  2. New to all this...need as much info as possible...Thanx

    leenak replied to vampcharms's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you looking for a BSN? University of Maryland has a pre-nursing program that guarantees you a spot in their nursing program if you maintain a certain GPA. Unless you get into a program like that,...

  3. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    leenak replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is the most important point. The religious views of some shouldn't negatively impact the lives of others. The state of Virginia is trying to define personhood as a fertilized egg which would...

  4. Montgomery county - Volunteer opportunities?

    leenak posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    I may be going to JHU in the Fall, if I get in and moving to Baltimore in July/August. I've been waffling on volunteering some place but then I thought I didn't want to volunteer some place for 4...

  5. Montgomery county - Volunteer opportunities?

    leenak replied to leenak's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I currently live in MC, but would be moving to Baltimore if I get into JHU. I'll definitely keep Holy Cross in

  6. Microbiology: first exam. not so hot. :(

    leenak replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you get the test back, write down your particular trouble spots. My Microbiology teacher was big on knowing processes so, for instance, our first test had us write out each of the steps of the...

    leenak replied to ixchel's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks! Was curious because I don't think I ran across that one in my research of schools. I'm wishing all of you gals and guys the best of luck for the Fall applications

  8. Has anyone taken two science coarses in one semester??

    leenak replied to MrOptimistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was going to take Chem and A&P 1 this semester together and I work 45-50 hours/week. The reason I didn't was that I wasn't eligible to apply to the school that required Chem for the Fall...

  9. Anyone waiting on Acceptance/Rejection Letter '2012

    leenak replied to PedsHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! My school had an interview and it wasn't too bad. They wanted to know why I was interested in nursing, which is something they will always ask. What do I think I will gain from the...

  10. UMSON, Fall 2012...is NO ONE applying?! :) :)

    leenak replied to SB113's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I know! She is making me feel bad that I wasn't eligible to apply for this Fall :) I'm so mad at myself because if I had realized in August, I could've retaken Chem

  11. Maryland BSN hopefuls for Fall 2012

    leenak replied to ixchel's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, what school is SU? Is that in

  12. after 1 yr of ADN nursing school are their any jobs you can start working?

    leenak replied to PCU RN's topic in General Students

    Your school should be able to tell you, did they mean a PCT? In the state of Maryland, after your first semester I believe, you are qualified to get certified as a CNA. At least that is what the BSN...

  13. Is 2 yrs really accelerated?

    leenak replied to melc0305's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    One 'accelerated' program I looked at was 26 months. Not sure how that is accelerated :) Drexel seems to have the shortest with 11 months, there are some 13/14 month programs out there and I'm...

  14. Steps to Becoming an RN...

    leenak replied to ejporter66's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1) Yes you can become an RN with an ADN program 2) You will need to check with the specific schools. ADN programs tend to have less pre-reqs and may also roll some of the pre-reqs into the program....

  15. Johns Hopkins Fall Entry Accelerated BSN (2012)

    leenak replied to TESC'10's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I'm taking A&P 1 right now (A&P 2 will be done summer session 1). I just got my lab and lecture test back and I rocked both of those. Obviously...

  16. Had my interview yesterday, here were my questions..

    leenak replied to FLNurse2015's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds good. Only thing I would say is if you suspect someone of cheating, I wouldn't mention to fellow

  17. True or false? Nursing to require a bachelors degree?

    leenak replied to mrsz1968's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you search around the site, you will see various threads about the issue. According to long term nurses, it seems the discussion has been going on for 20-30 years. Many hospitals are pushing to...

  18. Work while going to nursing school???

    leenak replied to navycorpsman2010's topic in General Students

    The nursing school I want to go to said that they don't recommend you work the first semester at all. The first semester is 8-5 M-F. So it isn't impossible but in order to get enough study time,...

  19. Frustrated

    leenak replied to magen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go to your professor's office hours and see if they can help you identify what went wrong. Are you having a hard time understanding the questions? Hard time memorizing it

  20. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    leenak replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our teacher said the first test is usually has the lowest scores of all the tests. The time to act is now. I'd try to go to your professor's office hours and see what your trouble spots were. Was...

  21. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    leenak replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Checking back in again. Did well on my tests, got a 100 on one and 96 on the other. I made a couple stupid mistakes which resulted in the 96. I second guessed myself. Oh well. Hoping everyone is...

  22. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    leenak replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    With your comparison, you are also implying that other choices people make would be equal to murder. What if someone has a disease in which there is a chance they can live if they receive a certain...

  23. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    leenak replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your comparison makes no sense. There is a difference between a woman being assaulted and a woman who chooses to terminate her pregnancy. I don't understand how it seems the same people that say...

  24. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    leenak replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm pro-choice. I don't think I was always pro-choice as in my younger years, I wasn't sure about it. After learning about it and talking to women who had abortions, I became pro-choice. I believe...

  25. Prerequs for the prerequs :-(

    leenak replied to ryanalice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you think you are good with math, then sure clep for algebra. You can do the same for Bio but I thought Bio was a useful pre-req for the pre-reqs. It got me exposure to the microscope which is...
