    BoonersmomRN replied to yogastudentRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

  2. Peds clinical today- just need to rant

    BoonersmomRN replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

    BoonersmomRN replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland Nursing

  7. Community college - RN program

    BoonersmomRN replied to chubbi's topic in Maryland Nursing

  9. Nursing school exams vs. NCLEX

    BoonersmomRN replied to CAM281's topic in General Students

  10. Do you have to take ATI exams?

    BoonersmomRN replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    BoonersmomRN replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

  17. New Grads- what starting rates are you seeing?

    BoonersmomRN replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

  21. What's the difference between A&P I and A&P II?

    BoonersmomRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    At the majority of schools you cover so many systems in A+P 1 and continue with the rest in A+P 2. Basically it's one long concurrent class but split into 2 parts because there is SO much to cover....

  24. Accepted At Ccbc Catonsville

    BoonersmomRN replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland Nursing

    BoonersmomRN replied to loveu123's topic in Maryland Nursing
