  3. Nursing School Personal Statement Help

    tippeny replied to nurse2be13's topic in General Students

    I would omit the entire 1st paragraph. Not to sound harsh, but it sounds a little cheesy and bit over-the-top. Everyone wants to be a nurse to help people- and from my experience admissions committees...

    tippeny replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks, buca04. That definitely helps a bit. I know I'll need to make SOME sort of arrangements, but not knowing what I need to do is driving me nuts! It reminds me of when my 1st daughter as an...

    I FINALLY got my blood tigers back and it looks like I need to have every shot on the list- despite having chicken pox as a child and multiple MMR vaccines when I was in the Army. My question is, the...

    Nanarey- I'm with you. Anxious to get my classes locked in. I am thinking registration opens at 8:00. If it's not open by 9:00, I'll call the school and see what's going on. Happy
