@Mbd4life It sounds like classes and clinicals are all during the day, so you can't really do a full time M-F daytime schedule. I have a 9-5 right now, and it looks like I'm going to have to quit. It...

I don't know about everywhere, but I know UMSON has changed over to DNPs. I think Georgetown still offers masters programs though...hard to say what the future will hold. It would be nice for some...

I'm a little late to the discussion, but add me to the list of folks hoping they can still find a masters program for NP school by the time we're ready for that. If I wanted a doctorate, I'd get a...

Thanks for the answer bcandygurl! There probably is less to review for the RN-BSN folks, since they already have proof you've been successful in nursing school and can handle the workload. Really,...

Congratulations bcandygurl! Glad to hear the good news! Hopefully, it won't be too long before the rest of us hear? Are you active duty military by the way? I know on previous threads they heard a...

afolwer77, definitely thanks for the immunization breakdown. I have all of these shots (even got a flu vaccine at work recently, yay), but I need to find my shot record...it's traveled around the...

Mine too - don't worry. UMD has 2 campuses and a million programs when you include grad students. Plus, the faculty who have to read and evaluate the apps all have their day jobs as well, so I can...

Hi Kirstens - I'm going to Shady Grove too - seems to be the majority of folks on this board actually! I doubt you'll be lonely - I'm sure the whole class will be forced to bond quickly over the...

If the backend of SURFS is anything like the systems we use at my job...updating it may be a manual PITA process, so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a while for "committee-readys" to filter...

Negative...not even sure what that status means though? Does it mean the application has gone to the committee members to be read and reviewed? Or does it mean that the application has been reviewed...

Looks like they've posted the Spring orientation dates...Accepted Students | University of Maryland School of Nursing. Not that I know if it matters yet for me... But it's nice to know if I get in...

I'm working a 9-5 now, so there's just no way I can continue here once school starts. I'm socking $$ away for tuition now. I won't work during my first semester, but I'm hoping I can get a PRN CNA/PCT...

If you emailed them Sep. 2, that's by the deadline. They received my last LOR on 9/3 (was mailed the week before-so the postmark was good), and they posted it on Friday. They are usually pretty good...

My guesstimate was 20-25k from the tuition and fee list on the website, but to be honest I'm not sure about which courses/credits have lab and clinical hour fees, so I'm not sure exactly what it would...

I'm not applying anywhere else, so I've got my fingers crossed extra tight. I want to go straight for the BSN and MD has a great commute and is so much cheaper than Georgetown, GWU, Towson, and...

It looks like they haven't extended the deadline for traditional BSN, at least as of right now. I hope they don't, since my application is in, and the later the deadline, the later we'll hear back!...
usedtobecool84 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing
From my reading of the "How to Apply" section of the website, you had to fill out the form to get in-state tuition. It's probably not a big deal if that got in a bit past the deadline, since it's not...
usedtobecool84 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing
Application is now complete for me too (emailing is a better way to ask a question than calling, I've found, in case anyone else has any issues). Good luck everyone! I hope I'll see all of you who are...
usedtobecool84 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing
Thanks so much for your suggestions, all. I've noticed they've been adding my docs quickly too, but since my rec letters were sent before I applied, they said to wait until Wed. since they might take...

From all the stalking I did on past year's forums and attending the August open house at Shady Grove, they're insistent that both campuses are equally easy (difficult?) to get in to. If you got wait...
