  1. Pre-ABSN Jobs

    Two things I'd consider in your position. 1.) Getting a job doing ANYTHING in a hospital. At least in my area, schools love to see any type of health care experience, from nursing assistant to front...
  2. Anyone applied for Fall 2014?

    I feel as though I'm in a perpetual waiting room of school acceptances. I got in to two schools, however neither of them are my first choice (one doesn't even start until Spring 2015 since they are on...
  3. Taking Microbiology with A&P1 vs. with A&p2

    My experience - I took A&P I last spring with Microbiology, Human Development, and Statistics. In my experience, it was a 100% doable course load. I also had been out of school for awhile and was...
  4. UMSON Fall 2014

    Katie - definitely call the college. I had a similar situation last semester with a math course and I was able to take in in AACC's winter semester (instead of fall). I ended up being waitlisted, but...

    Those who are worried about housing - be sure to look on the shared/rooms section of craigslist baltimore when your accepted and just search UMB or UMSON. There are always students who've just moved...

    They said that last application cycle too. We thought we'd hear back Nov 1. and when someone in the forums called they said no one would be hearing anything until mid-novemeber. Calls ended up going...

  14. UMSON Fall 2014

    Busybee91 - I remember last application cycle this question came up. I think Grey Lady said you had to have a -really- good reason for them to accept it. (military, family emergency etc..) If you...

  20. absentmindedness a barrier to nursing career?

  21. Afraid of being jobless

    While it's not an ideal situation for those looking to work in major metro-area hospitals especially, there is nothing wrong with getting your ASN (ADN). I am also applying to my dream BSN program...
  22. UMSON Fall 2014

    I'm really liking what I'm reading on the UMSON website. It looks like they've overhauled/tweaked the curriculum to be focused on preparing us for where healthcare is going (instead of what it has...
