    I really enjoyed watching Rona's youtube channel when I was going through my clinical classes. She provided alot of useful information I feel. HeyRona - YouTube. I also used this one for learning...

    Thanks littlemango. For those students going to UMB, I may see them on campus if I can get a night job. I really don't want to take all online classes as I do better face to

  5. UMSON Spring 2015

    I would think not since you applied specifically for the spring term. I'm not sure if you can do coursework only. I would call and ask admissions though. You can take a look at the class schedule...

    It was cost and also most PAs don't specialize. Although as of lately, I have seen a few programs specific for Neonatal medicine. However, I liked the autonomy that working as a NP

    I thought about that before going to nursing school, but I am not in the position to quit working. I have student loans from my prior degree, and now that I have my degree in nursing I'm not going...

    It is a suggestion for a move towards DNPs being the standard for advanced nurses. Just like they are doing with the BSN requirement as of lately for entry level nurses. Most of the big schools have...
  10. UMSON Spring 2015

    I'm interested in becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. I am praying they still have Master's programs available as I really do not want to get my DNP. If not, then I guess I will have no choice but...

    I must say the MTA is not completely reliable. On test days I would probably drive if you can. I normally took off work when I was in nursing school on days that I couldn't miss class or be late. A...

    You can take the Subway into Baltimore city and it goes all the way to Hopkins. I have taken it to go to the UMMC, which is close to UMSON. It is like maybe 2 blocks. I think I got off at the...

    Congrats afowler77!!! I honestly feel that the level of difficulty to get into Towson is about the same as UMSON. If anything, UMSON may have more applicants, but Towson' s application seemed to...

  17. UMSON Spring 2015

    Yeah!!!!! I was admitted. I am applying as a RN-BSN student though so that is probably why I got a decision earlier. However, I wish everyone the best. I may see some students on the Baltimore campus...
