  1. Maryland Hospital Starting Salaries

    vigor145 replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    This is a really late reply........4 years later. But just to give perspective from 2015. UMMC just re-established pay raises this year in our NICU. While I am a student nurse, I have gotten very...

  2. Not doing well in nursing school?

    vigor145 replied to succinate's topic in General Students

    I am really coming late to the party, but one post on this page upset me. I have two B.S. degrees and an MBA from a top 5 University. I always wanted to do nursing, but my father pushed me in...

  3. I don't love nursing anymore.

    vigor145 replied to Jmarty31's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about what others think of you!!!!!! Who are they to judge. If you wake up in the morning and just keep doing "the next right thing", then you have nothing to worry about. I would say...

  4. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    vigor145 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't' have the time to read through all of these other posts, but something should be knocking on your brain telling you that SOMETHING isn't right. You are working at a HOSPITAL, who knows you...

  5. First week of nursing school and I just received a court summons.

    vigor145 replied to FLnurseprospect's topic in General Students

    I would go to court. AND I would not go email your professor about it. They do not care. I am not sure how big your cohort is but at my university mine started at 80 people. down to about 72 now....

  6. Any Psych Nurse Practitioner's out there?

    vigor145 replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is an OLD thread, however, after Miss South Carolina has responded with nothing positive or uplifting, I wish to respond. Do not forget Miss South Carolina, your negative experiences are just...

  7. What are you getting paid as a nurse student?

    vigor145 replied to gonnaB37nursedoc's topic in General Students

    This is an old thread, but I feel compelled to reply anyway. I am a non-traditional student, who just finished my 1st semester of nursing school. I got a job as a Student Nurse in NICU in a downtown...

    vigor145 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi All!!!! This is my FIRST post. I am in the midst of finishing up my first semester. I am challenging some of my Fundies for Older Adults final questions. I would LOVE and APPRECIATE your...

  9. Please Give Opinion on a Test Question I Had on Fundies Final

    vigor145 replied to vigor145's topic in General Students

    Thank you for responding. I chose A because that is what Health Assessment pounded into us. I reviewed all my info from Fundies, and this was never mentioned. I see a neurologist every 6 months....

    vigor145 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    @hopeful 205 I am so sorry you didn't get in. That wait was surely drawn out for you and a "nail biter". I, too, am in my mid-late 30's. This is a second career for me. I personally had a back-up...

    @muldrowtl. Make sure you check out the MDBON'S website for 2013's NCLEX Pass Rates. If memory serves me well I think Bowie's were terrible. Coppin's were aprox. 79%. UMSON was 96% (for

    vigor145 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would like to add that I have known two people with a 75% and 76% Teas score, respectfully, get in. While they have guidelines for admission.........they are just that,

    vigor145 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    @kirstens.......did you get to pick the lab or did they? I am hoping the lab will be open on Saturday. It is very hard with working full time to get away to do this stuff. And I don't leave my job...

    Unfortunately (on many levels) when Priyanka called me I was performing the heimlich maneuver on an itty-bitty 2nd grader! I missed her call. She left just a brief message and told me I could call...

    @kirstens......It's a cool job. I LOVE kids!!! No experience was necessary but I did have my CNA already. They trained us for everything!! Even those without their CNA's. Sadly, my last day is...

  22. UMSON Spring 2015

    vigor145 replied to littlemango's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I am going to chime in because it seems as if everyone wants to see stats so they can compare against those that got in. I got into Baltimore's campus. I don't think there is a cookie-cutter way...

    @EEtoRN I saw my status online. No phonecall...........yet!! I think you are correct in that different people in admissions notified differently. I will feel better once I get a phonecall AND a...
