  1. BSN vs RN-BSN programs, pros and cons?

    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...

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

    hon918 replied to FRnursemurse's topic in Maryland Nursing

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

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

    hon918 replied to FRnursemurse's topic in Maryland Nursing

    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...

  4. HELP

    hon918 replied to Jperry121215's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

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

  5. TEAS vs NCLEX easiness

    hon918 replied to IreneLeong's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

  6. RN to BSN question...

    hon918 replied to nineknot's topic in Diploma, 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,...

  7. RN to BSN question...

    hon918 replied to nineknot's topic in Diploma, 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...

  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...

  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

  11. New to Nursing, and transferring schools

    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

  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...

  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...

    Start by calculating the flow rate in

  15. RN to BSN Hagerstown Community to Frostburg

    hon918 replied to eehfn1212's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  16. 3 Years into B.A. - Best Way to NP from Here?

    hon918 replied to button86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you need an MSN to get into a DNP program, just a BSN and maybe experience as an RN. If you go with option 2, you will still end up needing most of the prerequisites that you would have...

  17. CCBC RN ATB school graduate experiences

    hon918 replied to woodpixi's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm in ATB currently with Frostburg and am in the evening/weekend program. I work full-time, 5 days a week at a 9-5 job. I selected Frostburg for reasons similar to what you stated. I'm starting my...

    I did Essex evening/weekend and we were e-mailed on 3/16 last year with

  19. CCBC Essex, Nursing Fall 2017

    hon918 replied to Ganes's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I think you need to have the application filled out and paid for by the deadline. They allow some extra time for the transcripts to be received and processed because it can take a while if they get...

  20. CCBC Nursing Fall 2017 Application

    hon918 replied to SQuinlin1's topic in School, College Programs

    Do you already have the transcripts? If so, you may be able to attach the forms to the sealed transcripts and send them yourself. I would just call CAS first to verify this is acceptable. If not, just...

  21. CCBC Nursing Fall 2017 Application

    hon918 replied to SQuinlin1's topic in School, College Programs

    The CAS stuff can be a pain. Give the registrar at your school the form (you may be able to do it online) and they put it with the transcript to send it. Don't wait too long to do this though, it can...

  22. CLEP for nutrition and Developmental Psych. free resources?

    hon918 replied to an11228's topic in General Students

    Most of the study guides have content or questions for all the CLEP exams they offer. The public library in my area had a few different

  23. Anatomy and Physiology Lab without Cadavers (formaldehyde)?

    hon918 replied to MissHopeful111's topic in General Students

    I would check with the school/instructor before signing up. I was surprised when I took A&P two years ago at the local CC that we were going to do zero dissections. Nothing but models for both...

  24. Taking the TEAS first?

    hon918 replied to WCSU1987's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I don't think you need to take AP1 and chem before taking the test. I took the test in January, and found the science questions to be very general, and likely covered in high school science classes. I...
