   hon918 replied to xueb1's topic in General Students

   I was in a similar position. I had a B.S. in biology, was working full-time, and was faced with the same dilemma. I took my missing prerequisites at a community college and then decided to go the ADN route. It cost significantly less money and the sc...

2. Hospitals in Maryland with a strong and friendly community?

   hon918 replied to FRnursemurse's topic in Maryland

   What specialties are interested in? I feel like I've seen a bunch of new grad postings in the last few weeks.

3. Hospitals in Maryland with a strong and friendly community?

   hon918 replied to FRnursemurse's topic in Maryland

   I'm a new grad too. I think this is really going to vary from unit to unit within every hospital. Even in a hospital that generally has a good sense of community, you can still have units with a not so great culture. That said, I had clinical in a nu...

4. HELP

   hon918 replied to Jperry121215's topic in NCLEX

   You can try the trick after you get the email from Pearson saying you completed the test, usually an hour or so after you finish.

5. TEAS vs NCLEX easiness

   hon918 replied to IreneLeong's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Are you sure you mean NCLEX and HESI? The TEAS and HESI are entrance exams and basic knowledge tests; the NCLEX on the other hand is taken after you complete nursing school.

6. RN to BSN question...

   hon918 replied to nineknot's topic in ADN/BSN

   Yes, you'd want an RN to BSN program. So you did an associates program to go from LPN to RN, correct? And I'm guessing you took all sorts of prerequisites - English, math, bio, anatomy, microbiology, etc. You can transfer the prerequisite and nursin...

7. RN to BSN question...

   hon918 replied to nineknot's topic in ADN/BSN

   It is pretty confusing, but no, in most cases you don't need an AA to enter a BSN program. If you are not already an RN, you want to make sure you are looking for a BSN program, not an RN to BSN program. A RN to BSN program would be for someone who h...

8. CCBC Evening/Weekend Schedule

   hon918 replied to BagelBomber's topic in General Students

   I'm just finishing up at CCBC, I am doing ATB at Frostburg and have worked full-time. Most people in my evening/weekend class managed to work full-time throughout the program. I don't have kids, but a few people did and made it work. Having some sort...

9. Need help on this basic med math problem?

   hon918 replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

   Close, you lost a 0 converting min to hours, should be 0.017 hr. Here's how I would set this up: (0.008 units/1 min.) x (1000ml/ 10 units) x (60 min./ 1 hr) = 48 ml/hr

    hon918 replied to liljodeye's topic in General Students

    They also offer the TEAS at PSI testing centers. I just looked and the one in Sacramento has testing slots available in January.

12. Having trouble in college algebra

    hon918 replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    If you are doing that poorly, I would withdraw from the class. You don't want a failing grade on your transcript when you go to apply to nursing school. Make an appointment and talk to a professional about the depression and anxiety. See if you can t...

13. First exam!!!

    hon918 replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

    I would suggest doing focusing more on the powerpoints and then doing practice questions. I'm guessing you are in a Fundamentals type course, if so, there is a book, Fundamentals Success, which has lots of nursing style questions based on that conten...

    Frostburg offers the same program with many of the CC's in central MD. I'm halfway done my program at CCBC and am in the Frostburg program. I've taken one class through Frostburg a semester (plus winter), and two over the summer. I finish at CCBC nex...
