    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    BusyBee91 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi folks, so I'm an auditory/kinesthetic learner, and I recently decided to start bringing my knitting to class, to see if it kept me more engaged in the lecture and off my electronics. It's pretty...

    BusyBee91 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all(nurses)! Hehe :) In the spirit of paying it forward (or giving back, whatever you like) I thought I'd make this post for anyone working on their prereqs for nursing. Pretty consistently, the...

    BusyBee91 replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I recently listened to a presentation put on by someone working on recruitment and retention at UMMC; she indicated that all new grads make $28 and change/hr, and that this is not a secret. I believe...

    Hey newbies! Welcome to UM! I just wanted to let you all know, if/when you start buying your books, we have a few facebook groups that senior students have been using to sell their books. If you...

    Scholarships!!!

    BusyBee91 posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hello Marylanders! I was wondering if we could put together a comprehensive list of scholarships that we know of. Supposedly, some outrageous amount of scholarship money goes uncollected each year,...

    "Nursing Shortage"

    BusyBee91 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Not that I'm an expert, and I really don't have an answer for you, but someone mentioned to me the other day that there are some projections (mind you, these shortages are cyclical) that around...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    BusyBee91 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Appreciate the majority of the responses in here, although it does seem like some of you are drawing some sweeping conclusions about my aptitude for school/nursing. Anyway, I will certainly take it...

    Knitting during class: ok or not?

    BusyBee91 replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Wow.. I am surprised at the overwhelming majority of you that find it rude. To clarify - certainly some of the students use their tech for class related work, but many of them are working on other...

    Hello I got question of johns hopkins

    BusyBee91 replied to dreamcomestrue's topic in Maryland Nursing

    JHH is legit, but personally I'd be leery of an agency asking for 25k to move you out here. That is a TON of money to get you a job. Sounds scammy to me, personally. Not that I necessarily know...

    Nursing student lacking passion?

    BusyBee91 replied to misskate098's topic in General Students

    Maybe bedside nursing isn't your dream job - maybe you'd like to check out research nursing. I have a background in research, and I've considered it (although the reasons I'm getting out of research...

    UMSON CNL Applicants for Spring 2015

    BusyBee91 replied to bran_muffin's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Just to clarify, it's 'CNL'. I think they look at your undergrad gpa, but I think they look more at your prerequisite course work. Also, since you have a much higher graduate gpa, I wouldn't be too...

    BusyBee91 posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Hi nurses, I'm going into nursing this fall, and while I think I'll be able to competently manage most aspects of holistic patient care, spirituality is one that throws me for a loop. It's actually...

    GPA to become a nurse?

    BusyBee91 replied to Chabibeh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, you need to keep in mind that a poor grade on a prereq class (for me, nutrition was, abnormal psych wasn't) is going to be even more difficult to compensate for. If you did poorly on an art...
