  1. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Congratulations Olijam! That is great! I'm so glad to hear you got off the waitlist for UCSF! Very cool! :balloons: :biggringi
  2. All notifications for the merit scholarships for JHU have been given. They called you and left a detailed message if you were not home. Do call UMD as Monday as you indicated and ask them exactly...
  3. Hi Bigmona, Are you are in the UMD accelerated program now or just in another accelerated program at a different school? Perhaps UMD is just changing it for this year's class and beyond. That is...
  4. Hi Summitk2 and TLR03, Yes, I agree with you. It sounds like a "bait and switch". Just to let you know, most Masters direct entry programs (for bachelor degree people who have a non-RN degree)...
  5. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    If you post it to the Texas nurses forum (yes, they have one for each state) you would probably get a better response.
  6. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    You probably want to pose that question to the Idaho and Utah nurses forums. They could probably tell you.
  7. Hopkins vs. UMD

    'Congratulations!! I have not heard, but I'm at work all day so I won't know unless they left a message. :balloons:
  8. It's never too late to go into nursing! There is such a need now and it's not going away with the graying population and baby boomlet. Ignore anyone that discriminates against you on age because 1)...
  9. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    You could certainly contact MGH and Regis just to ask if they had any more financial aid for you... (I think they already told you no.) I think you already are set on BC - it's just coming to grips...
  10. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    Congratulations upon making your decision! I know it was a hard decision to make. :balloons:
  11. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    Hi Krod, Do you find that $38/hr in the Bay Area is enough to live with the cost of living being so high? Does that include a diff for nights and weekends? Thx.
  12. Hopkins vs. UMD

    For JHUSON accepted students day, I'd like to stay near Charles Village or between CV and downtown. I will rent a car so I can visit apts. But if it's close to 29th to 35th? and Charles? I'm not...

    Hi Tamm1, Can you any one suggest a nice inexpensive hotel to stay at in Baltimore for the Hopkins accepted students day on April 1st? I'm not too familiar with the area. I'm also looking for 1...
  16. That is really strange for UMD. What does a clinical nurse leader do? Do you get a BSN or not? How long is it? Do they have clinicals or is it more for people to become educators? I would ask a...
  17. cpr classess

    I think you need to be in a class room class because you have to demo on a dummmy. You can enter your zip code to find a Red Cross chapter near by: http://www.redcross.org/where/where.html Here's one...
  18. Accused of Cheating on Midterm... help!

    Hi MaryRose, There are always going to be people that are jealous of you and will stop at nothing to sabotage your reputation. As long as the prof knows you are not cheating, I would ignore this...
  19. Hopkins vs. UMD

    Mine is April 1st too! I bet JHUSON has both the accelerated and trad BSN RN students at the same session! See you there!
  20. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    I'm sure they are not laughing at your application, unless you put some humor in your essay! :chuckle Just as we vicariously supported the MGH/BC/Regis students, we are here to support you and Gen!...
  21. Hopkins vs. UMD

    You can start a yahoo group; it's very easy. I can give you directions if you send me a private email through the forum. When do you guys have your accepted students day for the traditional session?...
  22. Hopkins vs. UMD

    Hi there, You can certainly join the yahoo group for Johns Hopkins Univ accepted BSN Nursing students for the accelerated class. Just know that most of the group is going back for accepted...

    Good luck Gennaver!! :) We'll be rooting for you for the U. of Illinois!
  24. Just got my ACT score back

    Thank goodness your parents fought with the school to put you into normal classes and that you found out you needed glasses! Being labelled as slow or developmentally disabled when you are not is a...
  25. Hopkins vs. UMD

    It was great! Lots of questions and people from JHU to answer them. The scholarships have not gone out yet. Some of the students on the chat formed a yahoogroup for accepted students for JHU's...
