  1. UMB Fall 2011-Registration for BSN Program

    GoldenDomer63 replied to GoldenDomer63's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for the link! I went in and completed the interactive form and emailed to OSAS. Hopefully, I will be able to register on SURFS tomorrow once the hold is removed. This is a weird system; per...

  2. UMB Fall 2011-Registration for BSN Program

    GoldenDomer63 replied to GoldenDomer63's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hmmm....I have my UMB account set up, but it won't let me register for classes when I went to the link you provided. I have all my transcripts and immunizations updated; the only thing I am lacking is...

  3. UMB Fall 2011-Registration for BSN Program

    GoldenDomer63 replied to GoldenDomer63's topic in Maryland Nursing

    No...I haven't received anything as of yet. A friend called the SON last week and was told that an email with registration instructions would would be sent out on 7/10 (yesterday). I am going down to...

  4. low gpa - bsn or asn?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to gogodice's topic in General Students

    If you graduate from your current school with a BS degree, it is going to take you the same amount of time to earn an ADN as it will to earn a BSN. The ADN in my area looks strictly at one's...

  5. What DO Think?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to CJ2blpn2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P I is mostly memorization with no real concepts to learn, so that shouldn't be too hard. The Principles of Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, by definition, shouldn't be too hard. Does it have a...

  6. financial aid - second degree student

    GoldenDomer63 replied to penelopelp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a second degree student starting nursing school this August and the only constraint I am aware of at my university is that in order to remain in good academic standing (and thus continue to be...

  7. Should I just suck it up and take out loans for a private school?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to supremekizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it is not necessarily the location of the school in which you took prerequisite courses, but the content. For instance, in the community college where I completed my prerequisites one...

  8. Should I just suck it up and take out loans for a private school?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to supremekizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The last thing you want to do and trust me on this, is be burdened with $60K in school loans in an uncertain economic environment. The smart play is to find a community college and get your...

  9. Taking Microbiology and Micro Lab Separately?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school all science classes (biology, chemistry and microbiology) had separate lecture and lab components with the exception of my A&P I/II classes, which were integrated. Lecture and lab...

  10. How does this plan of action sound?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think one "C" will kill you. When I spoke with the admissions counselors during an open house at my university, I was told that they don't expect perfect grades (mostly A's and B's with a few...

  11. I need all the help i can get

    GoldenDomer63 replied to happy2live's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice would be to begin taking your prerequisite classes at a community college. As a previous poster stated the tuition is quite a bit lower than the traditional four-year colleges. The community...

  12. Financial aid

    GoldenDomer63 replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You should have received something by now. Are you applying for Federal aid, State aid, or both? I know at my school the Federal financial aid packages were awarded in the beginning of May. The State...

  13. How does this plan of action sound?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there any possibility you can be waitlisted for the A&P I and Chem I classes for the Fall semester? I understand the financial pressures, but you must balance that against the time commitment...

  14. Looking for teas ver 5 study guide

    GoldenDomer63 replied to bdsnhl4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No need to panic...the A&P I/II and chemistry will serve you well on the science portion as I think it is heavily weighted towards those subjects; some basic biology and genetics thrown in as...

  15. Looking for teas ver 5 study guide

    GoldenDomer63 replied to bdsnhl4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To be honest I don't think you need to purchase the TEAS V study guide. I would use the internet and Google "sample TEAS test" and work the questions within the various sections. I did that and...

  16. Summer A&P Crisis

    GoldenDomer63 replied to CordaeP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't try and memorize everything you write down and read...much too much information to comprehend. Study what the professor emphasizes during class lectures. Does the professor provide an outline or...

  17. A&P I and II at the same time

    GoldenDomer63 replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you can take A&P I and A&P II concurrently; however, you can take them back-to-back. I did that during the summer. I took A&P I in the first summer session and A&P II in...

  18. How recent do letters of recommendation have to be?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't use a letter of recommendation if it was more than one-year old; especially an academic reference. Most nursing schools use their own form instructing the professor to evaluate you on a...

  19. Should I re-take A&P 1?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to caprisiosa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say go ahead and take A&P II. I thought that A&P II emphasized the body's physiological process, not anatomical

  20. How does this plan of action sound?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here are my comments for what they are worth... I would postpone taking the TEAS, or try and get in A&P II prior to taking it as there were a lot of questions with regards to the body's...

  21. Other options than buying the Teas V study Guide?

    GoldenDomer63 replied to karamarie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the TEAS V during August 2009 and didn't opt for the study guide. I think it is a waste of money. I used Google to find a sample TEAS test and reviewed the various sections. There were some...

  22. Letters of Reference for Nursing Program

    GoldenDomer63 replied to DCarman-student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The schools that I applied to provided standardized forms for both personal and academic references. All that was required of the professor was to complete the questionnaire and either return to the...
