I recently went through a similar experience as a new grad. I had 7 preceptors in my first 6 shifts of orientation on an extremely busy surgical floor at a large teaching hospital. It was insane and my anxiety was through the roof. I was honestly t...

I think, as long as you do all you can to get and stay healthy, that you can do this if it’s what you truly want. Nursing school is stressful, but some feel it’s much worse than others do. I was an older student, recently divorced and raising a 9 y...

Now you see why veterans get so upset and discouraged. It’s the same for them when they try to seek care through the VA. The lack of communication is frightening, paperwork continuous gets lost, one person doesn’t know what the person standing next...

Has anyone else applied to Harford's Fall 2017 Nursing program? I recently attended their drop-in session, where we were given information on the new admission requirements, as well as a tour of the clinical labs, classrooms, etc. I was impressed!

Hi, I'm on my way to clinical now, but I'll be happy to answer when I get home later. I remember the anxiety of knowing nothing when first starting this journey all too well!

I'm sorry about your breakup. It will be hard at times, and the anxiety is not fun to deal with, but yes, I think you can definitely do it, and you will. Have faith. A 4.5 year relationship breakup isn't something to scoff at, and leaving your dog (...

They have a new point system; the advisor you spoke with may not have know that as this was the first year it was implemented. I was told at the drop-in that with the new system, 12-14 points should be competitive, but I'd try for the higher end of...

Don't give up hope. I had nursing students in the room for 2 out of 3 of my deliveries, and while there were no male students, I would have been perfectly fine with them if there were. By the time I was ready to deliver, I wouldn't have cared if a ...

I'm not sure if we received the same packet since you're doing accelerated and I'm traditional, however, incase they are different, here is the info from my packet: It must be either of these 2 courses: CPR for Health Care Providers or CPR for Profe...

HCC offers healthcare provider CPR as a continuing education class. It's usually on a weekend and runs approximately 8 hours.

I'm doing traditional. You?

Congratulations!

I received mine today. We have until April 14th to respond. I was told that after that date, when all of the responses are in, they'll start going down the list calling others for open seats.

Mine says fall - don't panic mzo, people often apply to more than one school and not everyone takes a spot, so something may open up for you in the accelerated program. Is everyone as nervous and excited as I am?!

Just checked mine and it changed to Nursing (RN), too!!!! Praying we get confirmation letters this weekend or early next week to be sure, but I'd say if your status has changed, you're in! �� And I thought I was nervous before! Now the real panic...

Nothing yet! Hoping we hear something soon. The waiting is brutal!! Good luck!!

Anyone else on here applying for Fall 2017?

There has to be more than just two of us - anyone else?

They said they look for proficient (you have that with your TEAS score!) and more weight goes into GPA and points, so you're looking good!! Have faith! Tomorrow is the deadline and then, we wait... :/

I've applied for the fall 2017 program. My GPA is a 3.7 and I have 16 points on the new point system they've implemented this round. When I attended the pre-nursing drop in, the advisor said that 12-14 points is a good, competitive range, so I'm ke...

I have 16 points, so I'm hoping for acceptance too! It's confusing with the new point system they're using this cycle, but like the advisor said, 12-14 is competitive, so hopefully we're good! I was thinking of doing the ATB through Towson, but I h...

3.4 isn't bad at all! Did you try doing your points on the new worksheet? The advisors told us that 12-14 is competitive to get in. The points system has been revamped from previous years,and although you have to take the TEAS, it doesn't have a ...

Hi All, I'm almost finished with my prereqs and will be applying to nursing school after my next semester. Although nursing is the only thing I've ever imagined myself doing, as it gets closer, I find myself sitting with a lot of concerns and so man...

In our county school district, there was one school nurse position after another opening over the past 6 months. I have no idea why or what was going on, but I was constantly getting notifications. My daughter's private school where she's attending...

It does. In the state of Maryland, a BSN isn't necessary.
