The challenge is that much of the master's and doctorate level education doesn't increase clinical competency in proportion to the time and effort required for completion. Head knowledge is useful, no doubt. But at least let it be knowledge that mak...

Many CRNA programs make it very clear that ED experience is not acceptable for critical care experience. Most of those I've researched state that in their FAQs sections. If you are compelled to do ED, make sure the CRNA program of your choice finds ...

Hey, photog- I'm a newbie starting UMSON this spring. Maybe we'll get a chance to meet. I happen to share your skepticism. Most of the curricula I've seen focus on leadership and research- 2 things that do not appear on the surface to do much to ma...

If it helps, I think the letters for accepted students only went out Nov 14th (got it Saturday). I'm guessing other letters are being received right about now or will go out this week. Just my guess.. Maybe Grey Lady has an answer.

Two weeks ago I got that answer. I was told the acceptance letter discusss that option. I was told that you can petition the Admissions Committee in writing for a deferment- and it's up to them. I was told that they don't offer deferments liberall...

Wooooo-hooo! When I read you got it in, I jumped UP and did a happy dance for you! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAW!

A little late to the party, but congrats on all the new 'positive' admission statuses out there! I've been watching posts but hadn't logged in. The one day I don't and all the juicy news bits come out- lol. Poor Nsmu! I hope you get admitted big-ti...

After reading several posts, I tend to think about your situation differently- but I could be wrong. I think a more important issue is that you seem to embrace being a pushover as positive. You do not need to be a leader-type to stand up for yourse...

Chelsea, I'm glad you finally heard something! You've been cheering others. I hoped the news would be better- but it could be worse. Congrats to you and Sarah922! Nsmu, schang03 and aepomerantz- hang in there!

Amen to that! Welcome to the club! I ended up applying to UMSON because of a previous setback. I'm sooo glad I did because UMSON offers the quality of education I was hoping for and didn't experience before. One door may close and another may ope...

I think he spoke at the open house I went to one Saturday morning too. Rather inspiring fella!

Oh, no,no,no,no! Aw- my heart breaks so much for you- REALLY! I'm so, so, sorry!!! I'm still holding out for you, Chelsea13! That goes for you too, schang03, Nsmu and jackie2575. Fingers and toes are crossed! Hope you hear good news soon!

Right now, I'm liking a couple Asus products and the Sony Vaio Flip (rather pricey). The university bookstore is in cahoots with Barnes and Nobles and sell Nook Study copies of textbooks. I downloaded Nook Study (NS) and it looks pretty good. The co...

PLEASE, let me know what you find out.

The Amazon site says they are working on functionality to have the HDX print to wireless printers. I downloaded PC for Kindle but there's no button to print. Both the HD and the HDX have USB 2.0 (mini-USB) ports for charging and connecting to a PC....

Congrats to meowbark and sjsimmons! INFO: (Got my call today.) If you haven't heard, orientation for Baltimore is scheduled for sometime around the second week in January. NURS333 lab groupings were withdrawn from the class schedule and will lik...

Now I'm all nervous for the rest of the gang! Congrats, Lorennia!!!!! Nsmu, chelsea13, cmg9311, KNW546- I still got my fingers and toes crossed for you all! I may not post as much but I'm checking back to see how everyone's doing. I'm now on pins a...
