Hello Everyone, I am in Maryland. Applied to about 8 positions in my area 4 at the same hospital between April 20-May 11 I graduated (pinning): May 18th and Registered on Pearson Vue Fingerprinted: May 22nd (electronically sent to MBON) Applied to MBON in person and paid Pearson: May 26th School sent transcripts (or whatever they do): June 1 Received ATT: June 1 (scheduled NCLEX) NCLEX: June 12, 7:30am I had 265 questions. I did the PVT 3 times and received the good popup. I will wait for quick results on Sunday and update status. I have a phone interview at one hospital where I will be an internal candidate on Tues. 16th for 4 positions I applied.

I took NCLEX today I received the entire 265 questions. I did the PVT and got the good popup 3 times. I'm still freaking out and will try to be patient for my unofficial results on Sunday.

Hi everyone I've been following this post. I took NCLEX-RN this morning. I was given the entire 265 questions. I've done the pvt 3 times and received the good pop up but I'm still freaking out. I couldn't sleep last night and after I got to about 150 questions I was having panic attacks. I am in Maryland and not sure exactly how long it takes for official results but I will pay for the unofficial results Sunday. Good luck and congrats to everyone!

My name is Eboni & and I get called a variation of shorter versions of my name E, Eb, Ebo, my favorite is Ebbi :)

I am in my second semester in the nursing program at MC. I have a BS from University of maryland and while I was at UMD I took some science classes at MC because they were easier than the science classes at UMD. But nursing school is very different. It is by no means easy and honestly if you are an A student around the board that means nothing in nursing school. This is kind of the consensus for all nursing programs. A 75% is needed to pass a course and we get excited about passing! Passing with a B is commendable. It is much different than taking prereqs. In nursing school you will need to memorize and be able to apply what you've learned. The tests are not easy and it is a lot of information to absorb in a short period of time. Honestly, if you feel the classes are easy at MC good for you, however, you can not compare these to the courses in a nursing program. Since you already have a degree let me suggest a second degree BSN program. A lot of hospitals in the area are requiring new grads have a BSN, Suburban is one of them. If you are like me and don't want to spend more loan money on an undergrad program you could get your RN at Montgomery and do an RN to MSN program later. When looking into nursing schools look up the nclex pass rate. All the programs are different none I think are easier than the others but it is important to know how well a school trains and teaches it's students by looking at the pass rates. I live in PG county but chose MC because it has higher first time nclex pass rates. You can find this info on the Maryland board of nursing. Good luck getting into a program!

Finding a job in a hospital might be a good idea. This can actually help you in nursing school and may be a foot in the door to a job when you're done with school. One with 12hr shifts. 3 days would be full time. If you work fri Sat and sun you'd still have plenty of time to study, depending on when your classes are. I am in my second semester of nursing courses and just recently quit my job to focus on school. I also have 2 kids though and quit because I was failing. I passed med/surg I by 1 point... I am however planning to go back to work, this time part time or PRN. It will get harder. Once you get into nursing school you will need to be able to focus more than when you're doing pre-reqs. Your nursing advisors will tell you not to work. I suggest saving as much as you can now and if you do work during clinicals/nursing school, only work part time or pick up shifts when you know you can spare the time. Goodluck!!

My stethoscope is engraved "Nurse" then my first name, middle initial, and last name. I did it for motivation. I know that I will be a nurse! I did not choose RN because I want to go much further than just RN; I would eventually like to be an NP and get my DNP. Either way I will always be a nurse. I am already a nurse at heart as a nursing student...I am not calling my self a nurse yet "legally" but I do not see anything wrong with calling my stethoscope Nurse whoever...it is mine I paid for it and no one sees the engraving but me, my patients, and a possible thief maybe. I introduce myself as a student and if questions arise as to why I engraved my stethoscope with "Nurse" I have no problem giving the same answer I have above. In any event, YOU pay for YOUR stethoscope and it is YOUR decision on what to engrave on it. I believe if it is not offensive it is fine.

If your priority courses are completely you are fine! I think they give priority to students who've completed atleast A&P I and II, English 101, 102, and a college level Math. And TEAS score above 66% overall. The minimum courses requires are Principles of Biology and English 101. I was admitted with all priority courses completed and 74% overall TEAS score.

I am currently in my first semester at MC and got in with a 74% TEAS score. Check the nursing webpage for minimum requirements. All of my prereqs were done. I think they rank you on how many prereqs you've completed (first priority) then your TEAS overall score which has to be atleast 66% and atleast 70% Reading. They do not rank based on GPA. I never went to an information session but you may be able to find that info somewhere on this site. In the information sessions they tell you roughly how many applicants they get (I've heard). There were a couple people who were on the wait list that got in because people did not show up for orientation. Goodluck. The program is awesome so far!

Congrats!

I was rejected by the first school I applied to because of my TEAS score and 2.8 GPA. It was a second degree BSN program. I worked hard took a few more courses including pathophysiology instead of retaking A&P and got A's. Took the TEAS 3 times and GPA was 3.3 got into a ASN program first try.
