So I am in my second semester junior year in my BSN program. This is my second degree, so I spent a year taking a few prerequisites part-time before getting accepted into this program. It's one of the top ranked programs in the nation and part of m...

rudy5095, it's funny that you reply to this post today. Shortly after I wrote the original post, I dropped out of nursing school. I felt like such a loser. I still have a hard time explaining myself to people even though I shouldn't have to. Nurs...

You beat me to it, April!

Thank you all so much for your advice! This is a hard decision, but as the week as worn on, I have become more at peace with the idea of moving on. I am 26, single and not dating, don't have children...I am definintely in a different situation than...

Hey to all you OR nurses. I would really love to know what it is like being an OR nurse. Going into nursing this is the area I always wanted to end up in. But now that I am in school, my professors are telling me that it is very boring and I will ...

I have worked really hard to go back to school and earn another degree...my BSN. Even with my prior degree coursework, I had about a year of prerequisites and finally got into a really great nursing school. My first semester was tough but I did wel...

Thank you all so much for your input. It doesn't help that none of my instructors ever worked in the OR. I believe they are just assuming things and not speaking from experience. I really want to work in an area of nursing where I can focus on one...

Thanks everyone! Ok, I am so glad that I am not the only one feeling this way. I just expected to love nursing because I feel like it's a profession you need to love in order to be any good at it. And I'm not feeling the love. I feel like I am un...

Hey! Congrats to anyone who got into UMSON for this upcoming semester! You're going to love it! I just finished my first semester :) I wanted to reach out to all of you Fall 2012 students to see if anyone is looking for student nursing positions? ...

Parking in the main garage is $5 for a pass each semester and $5/day for each day you use the lot. There are other options, but for me this was the best. Cheaper than parking in any other lot except maybe biopark, but you have to cross MLK with tha...

Hey the student positions have been filled, sorry guys. I haven't checked this account for awhile. As far as costs at UMSON go... I am a traditional BSN student (2 year track). I am in state and also get my basic health insurance (no vision, no d...

Yes, I am close to JHU...like 25 min away. I volunteer for JHU, the Bayview campus. I haven't looked into specifics yet since I am not yet eligible. But I can ask who to contact next time I go in to volunteer. If I get info, I will let you know.

I got into BB tonight. Everything is paid and has been for awhile. I have to say, all the info posted on BB is overwhelming! Ahhh!

I am in Maryland. Good luck to you. That's crazy that in CA you don't get your license after your first semester in the program.

Hey all! I have 3 pairs of khaki Cherokee (style 4200) scrub pants for sale. In perfect condition! I decided to buy anoter style. These are perfect for many local uniforms. All three pairs - $20. Let me know if you are interested on here or via ...

Hello! For anyone taking nursing pre-reqs at CCBC, I have the text for Intro to Organic and Biochem - CHEM 146/147. This is a used copy of the CCBC custom version of Chemistry for Today by Seager and Slabaugh. It is the text only and does not includ...

I have no idea about the program really. I have been looking into externships over the summer and winter breaks as well. I looked at Bayview and UMMC so far. Everything you need to know should be on their website. Looks like at least a 3.0 and ha...

Temem - I have to look into that. I never saw anything about Neehr Perfect. Where does it say we need to subscribe? Thanks for the heads up. I was unable to attend the mixer as well. Did anyone go? If so, how was it? Has anyone been able to get ...

Hello all! Let me give you some background on me so that maybe you can help answer some of my questions. I am 25 years old, and I earned a BS in Business Administration in 2008 from Towson University. I graduated Cum Laude with a 3.468 GPA (not fa...

Tippeny - thanks for the info on the uniform. I couldn't find where it said specifically, so I appreciate that. I have 3 sets of uniforms simply because the guy I bought the books from gave me his uniforms and lab coat as well. I need to get some wom...

Also what are people planning on doing as far as work? Are you working your first semester or not? I have been working at the same place for 8 years and have decided to leave as of the first week of January. I would really like to get something pa...

Ahh so before we know it orientation is going to be here! I would really love to know some people prior to orientation. Is anyone interested in meeting up at orientation or prior just to maybe get to know a group of fellow BSN Spring 2012 classmates?...

Has anyone else registered for courses online? I faxed in my Approval for Registration form yesterday, got a call today saying it was received and my hold was lifted. I thought we couldn't sign up for classes until the 21st, but it let me web regis...
