I found that many, if not all, algebra concepts have been broken down and explained in easy to understand detail and example by someone in the world who has posted it on the internet. Google any topic, and some high school, or middle school teacher ...

Why didn't you like the research class?

I've got an A so far. It's my last science pre-req, and so far it's by far the easiest, compared to A&P 1 and 2, and microbiology. I actually kind of like it.

I agree with person who said to sit up front. Also, at all costs, avoid slackers when it comes to labs and lab partners. If you know who the serious ones are, do everything you can to partner with them for lab. There's nothing worse than a slackin...

Somewhat to my surprised, I got accepted. I'm very nervous about, though. I have a lot of questions with no one to ask. The orientation date is "to be announced".

The application deadline was 9/1 for Spring '06, but I got mine in early. Anyway, got the letter last week University of Maryland BSN program. I'm a little overwhelmed still!

Hi, I just got accepted into UMAB for Spring '06. They have a new program for people who already have a BS in any field - it's an accelerated program (I think 18 months, but not sure) that gets you an MSN. They no longer offer a BSN if you already ...

I am finishing my prereqs and currently applying for a BSN program for a Spring '06 start. I am 49 years old. What are your thoughts? Thank you.

I can't say how the nurse who beat her husband came to be on the show, but in my sister's case, she didn't really start out with that intent. She contacted the show with some questions about her son's behavour and was called by a producer. She conf...

There are no secrets once you've gone on TV. Maybe that's a good thing in these cases.

My sister was the nurse that appeared in the primetime special "Escaping Addiction". I would not call her low class. The reason she appeared on the show is kind of a long story, but I will say the the show is putting forth a huge amount of effort t...

Boy do I know how you feel. Did you happen to see the Dr. Phil special "Escaping Addiction" with the addicted nurse? That's my sister. (that's where my screen name came from - I was browsing the internet looking for what people were saying about t...

She was dx'd at age 7. She does pretty well managing it considering she IS a teenager. She's on an insulin pump. One reason I decided to go back to school is that I needed to get my own life so that I could allow her to have hers. I had been micr...

:chuckle Now you're starting to get the picture! Also, she has Type 1 Diabetes. Just increases the challenge little.

:chuckle We have learned a thing or two haven't we? Try telling that to my 14 year old!!

My first prereq when returning to school was A&P I. I had not had biology for 15 years. I have now taken A&P I, II, and microbiology. I would recommend taking micro first. I managed A's in all, but A&P would have been easier if I had ...

Thanks, I guess I have too much time on my hands right now so I am worrying. I finished the spring semester about 2 weeks ago (A&P II and Statistics) and don't start summer for another week. I've been working on my BSN application and worrying ...

I am willing to do whatever it takes. I had heard that many hospitals try to use only part-time in order to avoid paying benefits. That would be OK with me because I don't HAVE to work full time. I'm also trying to be realistic as to how long I wi...

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. It is the physical stress that worries me the most. I am doing all that I can to prepare for this before I even get into the BSN program. I hope I'm being realistic about it. I don't need/want to work full time -...

Will I face discrimination from other nurses?

What do you think was wrong with that essay? I ask because I just submitted my app to UMAB traditional BSN for Spring '06 - doing my prereqs at Howard CC - have a 4.0 in all courses. I'm sure my letters will be great, one from my microbiology teach...

As a patient several years ago I had an IV run dry. I was very sick: septic with staph, etc after a C-section. I also had pelvic thrombo phlebitis but it had not been dx'd yet. Well, my veins were completely shot by all the heavy antibiotics - inf...

And.. I also hate rattling chip bags during tests. And people with a runny nose during tests constantly sniffing. (I bring tissue and pass it to the sniffer, hint, hint..)
