To BSNbear and Cooper1012: BSNbear, thanks so much for your comment!! Any info is really helpful. And Cooper1012, it's exciting to hear from potential future classmates. In case either of you would like to chat more privately, I created a gmail address: [email protected] (so I wouldn't have to post my personal email on a public forum). If there are any other current/former students out there who would be willing to chat, please feel free and send an email. There could be a Starbucks egift in it for you :)

Hi everyone! I'm obviously waiting to hear about Georgetown as well, and I've been accepted to a few other programs, so I'm really looking forward to hearing and making a decision. Just wanted to say that hearing pluses/minuses of the program is really helpful, so if you have info, please continue to share. Hopefully they will tell us soon! Only a few more days until the 18th!

whoops..accidentally posted twice. sorry!

Hi everyone, I am new to allnurses, so apologies in advance if I am posting incorrectly. I've been accepted to UMD Shady Grove Fall '11 for the BSN program (congrats to everyone who has been accepted!!!). I am considering some other programs (Hopkins and Georgetown mostly), and I have a lot of questions about what it's like to be a UMD student. Just wondering if there are any current or former Shady Grove students out there who would be willing to have a chat with me. Just reply to the thread and I'll send you my email (or I think you can private message me? like I said, clueless). For the purposes of the thread: would living in Silver Spring area and commuting by car be feasible for most of the clinical sites? I'm worried about having to drive to Frederick or Annapolis, which would be pretty far. I'd love to hear lots of opinions about pluses and minuses of the program! Thanks!!
