Hi, I moved from Coos Bay this past summer, and just found this WEB site. Is there anyone out there who started the nursing program at SWOCC this past Fall? I was accepted, but had to turn it down when my husband took a job in Rochester, NY. Just t...

I thought that most colleges require students for whom english is a second language to pass some type of proficency test in order to be admitted? Hopefully her skills will improve as time goes by, if not I'm sure that her performance in clinicals wil...

It is highly unlikely that any of those drugs are still in your system. Besides, if you were prescribed the medicine and took it as prescribed, you don't have anything to worry about. They are going to test you for pot, coke, meth, acid, etc. Motr...

It is never worth lying about anything...it will always come back to get you. One of the most important things in nursing is ethics. You dont' want to start it all with a lie.

I was accepted at the University of Maryland at Baltimore even though my previous GPA was like a 1.6. (Lots of party little study) However, 20 years latter, I have a 4.0 in all of prereqs, so my over all GPA is now a wopping 2.9 something. Anyway,...

I had a cone biopsy in 1988 following class IV PAP that did not resolve after cyro and colposcopy. Had general in small hospital and went home same day. I had just had a baby several months prior, but don't remember any problems following surgery. ...

There is a good thread on this topic in the Nurse Anesthetist section. It is entitled UCSF OB Anesthesia Meeting on pg 4 of the thread. I'll try to make a link, but I'm pretty new at this: https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99466

I don't think you should quit, for what it is worth. You are so close and while it may be embarrassing, you are not the only one who has ever failed. You will have new classmates, make new friends, and probably have an easier time the next go aroun...

i thought it was a waste of time. my mother has gone back to school and is taking a&p right now, she draws everything out herself...but then she is much more talented that way then i am.

I took A&P I and Micro at the same time and made an A in both. I thought Micro was harder, but very interesting. I loved the lab.

Hi Tanya, I sent you an email, let me know if you didn't receive it. Gwen

Hi Tanya, I haven't lived in NO for 20 years, but I do go back and visit. I lived in the French Quarter, my mother is an artist and worked on Jackson Square. To be honest, the place has changed so much that I find it a little depressing, especially...

Hi Peachy, I am starting the traditional program this Fall. JHU does not seem to be terribly gpa oriented. They really do look at the whole person: work experiences, overcoming difficulties, leadership potential, etc. Your essay is your opportunit...

Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay, OR usually has an acelerated microbiology class through the summer...if there is enough interest. It is geared toward health care providers. The instructor is great. Their WEB site is http://www.s...

I really enjoyed your post, it was quite compelling. Have you ever considered writing? Your post could easily be expanded into a very interesting short story. You should give it some thought. There are a few "special interest" magazines you could...

I have a 4.0 in all of my prereqs, but... The first time I went to college, for 2.5 years starting in 1979, I majored in in well, I probably shouldn't say. Anyway, when those grades from 26 years ago are factored in it's like a 2.98. When I began to...

Hey, I'm starting Johns Hopkins in Sept. Wasn't it Groucho Marx who said he wouldn't want to be in any club that would have him? PS: I don't think you can be dumb in any sense of the word, if you know what I mean? :)

Tamm1 That's great news, Im so happy for you. Now, I will wait for my phone to ring, but even if it dosen't, I'm going to Hopkins! I figured out that the diff in tuition for out of-state resident at UMD and JHU is only like 12,000.00 for the two y...

Hi Guys, I am starting a BSN program this Fall to begin my second career. I spent the last 20 years in the military, so I am used to working in an almost all male environment. (I am female) It only just occured to me that this experience will probab...

Sorry, I got that when I re-read your post after I had already posted.

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know that I received my acceptance letter today from the University of Maryland for the traditional BSN program. I think I've already decided on JHU, but gosh the difference in the tuition.... Anyway, I also recei...

Hi, I just received my acceptance letter in the mail today, but for the traditional program. Hope you have good news soon. Also, very good WEB site is http://www.mhec.state.md.us for financial aid, if oyu are a Maryland resident.

I am also a nursing student interested in CRNA, and from what I have heard you need to work in critical care for a year or two. I would think that you definitly need to work under your RN license and not take a tech position. CRNA programs are prett...

We found a Townhouse in Havre de Grace this weekend, and put a deposit down on it. We are moving in around the 1st of May. I hope the commute won't be too horrible. When we meet on the first, I'm sure I will have lots of questions!

I don't have any news! I wish it was Sept already, terrible to wish time away like that. I think the Financial Aid Packages will be mailed out today, at least I hope so. I checked out the yahoo chat for Accelerated students, interesting, but no "h...
