Hello all, My family is relocating overseas in 2 months and the Nursing Council over there asks me to have a hard copy of my RN license for license application. I understand that Maryland BON no longer issues license cards. Does anyone know if the Bo...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I read other posts on allnurses. All posters agreed that BON is VERY slow. I will go there in person and get everything done. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for the information. It's very helpful. My family is moving back to Hong Kong this summer and I had a hard time finding information regarding the practical exam. I have my US RN license but heard that the license exam in Hong Kong i...

My name didn't show up on the board until Pearson website stated that "fast result is available if you pay $7.95..." I took the board on 07/07 around 9am and finished around noon. Checked the result on BON and Pearson website around 9:00am this morni...

I took the board on 07/07 with 113 questions, not sure about how I did with the exam. Came home a couple hours after the exam and got the good pop up. 48 hours later, my name is on BON and I passed the NCLEX! I don't even need to use the fast result ...

Hi, angelp71, First of all, congratulations!!! I am not sure if you are going to SG or Baltimore. But for SG, you may buy your uniform at any scrubs stores (Just make sure you have white top and Khaki pants) or you may get all the supplies at the ori...

Angalp71, I am not sure if your question has been answered already. In order to register for classes, you need to download a registration from the UM nursing website, fill in the classes you want to register, and fax it to the office of registration ...

Good point, JRFraker. The statement doesn't need to be wordy, just long enough to sell yourself. Remember how many statements they have to read one day. I remember mine was 2 pages only and I didn't have any healthcare experience nor volunteering exp...

Haha..you are right, we did have a student who passed out but it's not because of the trauma, it's because of something else. Oh..gosh...rumors do pass on very quickly.:chuckle To answer the question about clinicals, no...for SG students, we can only...

Sorry I made a mistake. Bdg III is the Camille Kendall Academic Center where you can cafeteria, library and such. Bdg I is where you can the nursing office and labs. Sorry for the confusion.

You are welcome! I truly hope that you will like SG campus and enjoy your time in the program. It's HARD to go through nursing school. There were so many times that I questioned my ability, yet, I pulled it through the 1st semester and I am almost do...

Congratulations and welcome to USG! I am in the 2nd semester of the nursing program in the SG campus. Like someone has said, the class size is smaller here. You will know EVERYBODY by their first names in a couple weeks. You will get to know almost a...

Hello, I am in the 2nd semester of my first year in the nursing school. If you think the first semester is stressful, wait until you have adult health in the 2nd semester. I seriously don't have a life outside school. Well....I thought it's stressful...

Hi, could someone suggest which study guides you use for Health Assessment? The NCLEX-type of questions are really confusing to me and we have an exam coming up soon. Thanks in advance!

THANK YOU!!! I just ordered a pair on endless.com. PM 6pm in order to get free overnight shipping. The Crocs will be here tomorrow,can't wait to try them out!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I also had a miscarriage at 6 weeks before I had my daughter. It's heartbreaking but it also makes us realize how blessed we are now having a healthy and beautiful little girl. I was 16 weeks pregnant when I go...

Hi, all, I just got admitted to the UMB Shady Grove BSN program. I'd like to make good use of this summer and read some textbooks ahead of time. I usually buy textbooks online because it saves a lot. However, on the books lists, a lot of required tex...

TakeTwoAspirin, thank you for correcting me. I actually got accepted last year but I deferred my study to this coming fall. When I submitted my application a year ago, they didn't have the Spring option yet. It's a very good news for those who want t...

Hi, I just got accepted to Shady Grove for the coming fall. The admission is indeed very competitive since they are only available for every fall and there are only 50-55 spots. I remember when I was in the information section a couple years ago, the...

Hi, msmahan, congratulations on your pregnancy! You and I are in the same boat. I am currently 23 weeks pregnant with my #1 and got accepted in the nursing school. I am due in the mid of September but my BSN program starts at the end of August. I am ...

Hi, all, I looked at another post which said the acceptance in nursing school needs to have very competitive GPA, volunteer and working experience. What volunteer and working experience do they ask for? I went straight to the local community college ...

Thanks all for your reply. I am living in Maryland and working hard on the prereqs for BSN. I just got some information from the school last night, it says student should have very competitive GPA. But like some of you says, it would be good to have ...

My friend who is a Education Ph.D went to the nursing school a few years ago because of the attractive salary as a R.N. I have some hard feeling when I heard that. I know it is the truth but it is still disappointing. what about you guys?

Hi everyone, I am new here. What a great forum!! I am thinking of going to nursing school but know little about it. Hubby and I want to start a family in a year or 2 and I will probably be in the middle of my school. I am pretty worried if I can han...
