  1. My initial instinct is, "Really?" IMO Smoking pot is a mark of immaturity and lack of professionalism. It will certainly not aid you in your endeavor to become a nurse and if it is illegal in your...
  2. UMSON BSN Spring 2014

    Schang I got a letter today that confirmed I was on the waitlist. It just said that I was waitlisted and should a spot become available theyll let me know before the beginning of the term. If a spot...

    Schang03 where did you hear that waitlist gets a letter? I didnt think we
  4. Schooling for nursing ?

    Most ADN-RN programs require pre requisite classes including but not limited to A&P, microbiology, statistics, english composition, intro to psychology, intro to sociology and developmental...
  5. School

    If it's in the program, yes. I had to take 2 remedial math classes before I was even able to take college algebra and statistics. I have gone on to take pre calc and am even looking into a calculus...
  6. UMSON Spring 2014 wait-listed

    wait listed students don't get anything in the mail as far as I am concerned. We won't get any information until we are accepted should that
  7. NP and new requirements

    I have not only heard this but the school that I've applied to for my BSN (in maryland) is doing away with NP mastrrs degrees and changing to DNP programs as early as next
  8. Accelerated Program with built-in or minimal pre-reqs?

    Got ya. I can totally sympathize with that. Since I didnt have a bachelors degree I took my pre reqs at a community college and am ttransferring to a 4 year school to get my
  9. Accelerated Program with built-in or minimal pre-reqs?

    I have heard of various ADN programs that are similar in that you take your pre reqs along side your nursing classes. Coming from someone whose taken all the pre reqs though, that sounds really really...
  10. UMSON Spring 2014 wait-listed

    Grey lady has said that 15-20 students are taken on the shady grove wait list. Shady grove generally admits 45-50 students. By those numbers I'm assuming Baltimore takes 30+ on the wait list...
  11. What is anatomy and physiology like?

    There is little new information I can give you that the pp's haven't already touched on. My personal experience was that while A&P was certainly a challenge, based on amount of material and the...
  12. What makes you stand out?

    Mandy, isn't it amazing how a single person can really change your path. Your story is also an inspiration, and I am so glad I met you on here so we can go through this crazy trial
  13. Questions for the experiencedl

    1.) Don't let studying bore you, you'll get distracted every time because there are always more exciting things to do. I learned this early on. Reading and outlining is boring. Make studying as fun as...
  14. Can you guys help me decide...?

    I have always done my best in the "mini-mesters". I feel like focusing all of my energy on one subject is much easier than trying to keep up on several (especially if you've had trouble in the past!)...
  15. What makes you stand out?

    Thanks, Zibi. It was a trying few years, but I have so much to be thankful for now. The BSN program I just applied to really put the kibosh on long admissions essays. They limited us to a 250 word...
  16. What makes you stand out?

    I truly feel as though I've been called to nursing. Not in a sense that I woke up from a dream and said, "I will be a nurse", but rather I a series of events that led me to consider parts of myself...
  17. UMSON Spring 2014 wait-listed

    I was waitlisted as well for spring 2014. It is my understandjng from the UMSON thread that should we not get in this semester our application rolls to fall. Hoping to get a call that I'm in before...

  19. UMSON BSN Spring 2014

    I think grey lady has said before only about 15 - 20 students are waitlisted for SG campus. Im on waitlist for baltimore and have no idea how many people are with me. I am curious why they dont let...

    Yes! Thinking about those of you that have yet to hear! Sending positive thoughts your
  21. Nursing to Med School

    Have a good ol' fashioned "Come to Jesus" moment with yourself and figure out why you think practicing nursing before becoming a doctor is a good idea. Also, why you'd want to be a nurse or doctor...
  22. Will these classes be too much together?

    Will you? You're the only one that knows for sure. Do you have enough time to devote to school. Is your schedule devoid of work, kids, and other distractions? If so you should be
  23. Be careful what you divulge

    Haha! I can't agree with this enough! Ive been on here for 2 years and young naive me used my name! Luckily I can say I stand by nearly everything I've posted, but have recently had a moment where...
  24. underachieving students...

    Your grade comes first. If you have the time after you've got the subject down to help others, awesome. If not in the end your transcript doesnt give an explanantuon option to say you were helping...
  25. I would also respond to the acceptance letter. Just call the admissions office and be sure that they know you still are interested in attending and ask when you need to send in your final transcripts...
