  1. Psych Practicum?

    smoup replied to smoup's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks Whispera! I'll request a psych practicum placement and hope for the best. I have a feeling it won't be an issue. Not many people like psych, let alone

    smoup replied to BusyBee91's topic in Maryland Nursing

  4. UMSON Fall 2014

    smoup replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    For those worrying about their GPA, I know someone who was admitted to the CNL program with BELOWa 3.0 GPA and they are graduating in May. As CNL's we do not take the TEAS so I cannot attest to the...

    Husky, I am a 2nd semester 16 month CNL who is graduating in

  6. UMSON Fall 2014

    smoup replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It takes a couple WEEKS for everyone to be notified and it's in no particular order. SURFS changed for most people before they got a call. I didn't get a call until a week or more after SURFS changed...

  7. CNL

    smoup replied to BusyBee91's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I have no idea when BSN's started hearing, if we heard around the same time, or what. That's just when I found out. I think I remember everyone hearing around the same time

  8. UMSON Fall 2014

    smoup replied to queserasera's topic in Maryland Nursing

    We had spring break already in March. I'll take another one though!! Re: class schedule first semester: The curriculum is changing in the fall so class times/days will more than likely be different...

  9. CNL

    smoup replied to BusyBee91's topic in Maryland Nursing

    When I was admitted last year, my status changed on April 18th. I'm sure some changed earlier and some later. Just for

  10. Death at Clinical

    smoup replied to NICUnurse21's topic in General Students

    My first job after undergrad was in a nursing home so I saw a fair share of deaths. The one that hit me the hardest from a surprise factor was a patient I had been talking to less than an hour before...

  11. Attending University of Youtube/Google

    smoup replied to travelgurl18's topic in General Students

    What sort of things are you they telling you too look up? If my program wants me to watch a video, they have either made it themselves or linked to it if it is on YouTube. The YouTube videos are...

  12. What classes are you taking next term?

    smoup replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    This summer I am taking Ob and Peds, both with clinicals that will be 12 hours a week for each class. One class is 6 hours and the other is 4. This is considered a full time load of 9 credit hours....

  13. Microsoft Office

    smoup replied to mmcc01's topic in General Students

    I use Open Office for everything and it's compatible. No one has ever told me I needed to buy Microsoft

  14. CNL

    smoup replied to BusyBee91's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I take Alameda to Argonne, then St. Paul to get to Howard St. I come in off of MLK. No way am I getting on 83 in the morning, or evening, rush. Some of my classmates do and they do just fine. When I...

  15. Is it really that bad?

    smoup replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    Agrees with everyone saying that every person is different. Some struggle in some classes others find easy. Some come in better prepared for the basic patho but struggle with NCLEX style questions....

  16. CNL

    smoup replied to BusyBee91's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Current CNL checking in again. I do not live on campus. I live near Towson but still within the city limits, by about a mile. The commute isn't that bad. It's all in the time you leave and the way you...

  17. CNL

    smoup replied to BusyBee91's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I swear the hardest part(s) of the application process was waiting to see if I had an interview, and then after the interview waiting to hear from admissions. Keep breathing, stay calm, and if you...

  18. CNL

    smoup replied to BusyBee91's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am enjoying the program, very much so! Each clinical day it seems that I am more and more sure that this is the right profession for me. I enjoy (most) of my classes and find the subjects to be...

  19. CNL

    smoup replied to BusyBee91's topic in Maryland Nursing

    When I applied, emails went out of a few days, not all at once. I COMPLETELY understand how stressful it is hearing other people get interviews and to be left wondering. I'd give it to the end of...

  20. CNL

    smoup replied to BusyBee91's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Second semester CNL checking in to wish you both good

  21. Spring Break Countdown

    smoup replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    Spring break starts on the 17th but I have a long list of things that need to be done over that time. 2 tests, 2 clinicals, and 1 student panel before I hit the road to visit

  22. What should we doing by last clinical?

    smoup replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    Ditto to a lot of the above. I know we can't do blood draws or start IV's but am pretty sure we can do anything else. Granted, the opportunities haven't been there for a lot of things, but that's just...

  23. Morton's Neuroma and Shoes

    smoup posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I know, I know. Another shoe thread. I have a Morton's neuroma in my left foot and haven't worn sneakers or any other closed toes shoe for about a year, with the exception of dance performances. I...

  24. What is your grading scale?

    smoup posted a topic in General Students

    I see a lot of different posts talking about grades and wonder what their grading scale is. My school uses a 10 point scale as well as rounding. So an 89.5 is an A, 79.5 a B, and so on. We also do not...

  25. HHNS Care Plan

    smoup replied to pacino1208's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not as good at this as others, but like others I will not do it for you. Is this for a care plan or just in general? What do you know about HHNS? What is the pathophys? What does this put the...
