  1. Anne Arundel Comm College Spring 15

    PocketSize replied to 3withmeinmd's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm super tense as well! I applied in January and was told my app was "pending final review" earlier this summer but Aug 31st is around the corner and the email said if you're in Spring 2015, you...

  2. Tips for Surviving the 1st Semester of Nursing School

    PocketSize replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    AGREE. I've sacrificed many days of not working out just so I can get some half-decent rest. Getting up at 5AM to go on that 5k run may not be the best idea if you went to bed at 12 or

  3. Will my tattoos hold me back?

    PocketSize replied to MLutiker's topic in General Students

    A nurse I work with currently was sooo surprised when she found out about my forearm! She said she would've never guessed because I looked so "conservative. LOL Sweet girl image, I suppose? The point...

  4. Will my tattoos hold me back?

    PocketSize replied to MLutiker's topic in General Students

    It's unfortunate society can be a bit thick-headed and discriminant but tattoos are still a shocker to some. Several people have mentioned Geriatrics as a specialty where tattoos are discouraged but...

  5. AACC Nursing vs. UMSON Nursing

    PocketSize posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    I need some advice/opinions. I attend AACC now and wanted to graduate from their nursing program but FALL 2014 is full and I won't know if I have a spot in Spring 2015 until AUG 31. Should I go ahead...

  6. AACC Nursing vs. UMSON Nursing

    PocketSize replied to PocketSize's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for your input BusyBee91. I should've said that I never intended to stop at ASN. If I choose the ASN route, I will eventually bridge to BSN (or MSN) through UMSON. The question is, do I take...

  7. RN-BSN or RN-MSN

    PocketSize replied to rnstudent23's topic in General Students

    I've spoken with an Admissions officer at UMSON because I wanted to know this as well. She advised not to get an MSN unless you plan on teaching (clinical instructor/classroom professor). She said...

  8. Howard Community College Application

    PocketSize replied to Primie2's topic in Maryland Nursing

    If I wanted to start the accelerated program next May, how soon should I submit everything? I take Chem Fall 2014 (Aug-Dec) (currently at AACC) but switching

  9. Forensic Nursing (FN)

    PocketSize replied to sirI's topic in Forensic

    One of my reasons for going into nursing school was to become a Forensics Nurse. I'm surprised a user mentioned places in Baltimore. It makes sense but I'm still a little cloudy about the...

    I enrolled for A&P I and II. They're both 6wk summer courses. I finish A&P I next Wednesday and so far I have an A. I took my muscle lab practicum and 7:30 this morning and got 100%!!! I will...

  12. cna exam and AACC nursing program

    PocketSize replied to jcookie1982's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Mind you, I'll have to renew about 2-3 licenses this year so add those costs to nursing school. Not worth it unless you can shell out the

  13. cna exam and AACC nursing program

    PocketSize replied to jcookie1982's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I recommend against getting your CNA. I have my CNA and a CMT license and its SO hard to get hospital positions without an "in" or prior experience. Your best bet is to find work in a nursing home-...

  14. medication aide

    PocketSize replied to missyrine's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I got promoted to CMT a month after my first CNA Job in LCT. I've only worked in one other facility and the one I work at now. At the old one, the CMT drew everything from bottled medication or bubble...
