My name is Christina Smith! I know I started this thread a little soon, but I am sure others are just as anxious as I am about applying! I have submitted my application for the spring 2016 program I just want to post some background information about myself, and anyone who has been accepted to previous semesters can share some insight with me if the wish!
I have a 3.9 GPA. My science gpa is as follows:
A: A&P 1
A: A&P 2
B Micro (Which was taken in 5 weeks, do they view the length of the semester?!)
I have gotten As in all of my other courses, and just need algebra and chemistry (which I am taking together this fall.)
I have been a CNA for 2.5 years, and have worked as a med tech for 14 months, and have recently been employed by Carroll Hospital as a MED/SURG PCT.
I have not taken my TEAS, but have purchased a study guide and plan to STUDY STUDY STUDY!!
I was accepted into my community college's ADN program, but I want to step outside my comfort zone and head towards my dream school. I am so nervous!!!!!!!!!
My cumulative GPA is a 3.9, while my science GPA is a 4.0. I scored an 86- Advanced in the TEAS test. I have volunteer experience in the ER department and I also volunteered with American Red Cross. That being said, I have no experience at all with direct patient care.
I also don't have any healthcare experience. I have a 3.8 gpa (4.0 science), got a 89 on the TEAS and will have a biology degree after this semester. So they definitely take everything into consideration.
Can't believe I got in! I celebrated with my husband last night after work! I am so excited to begin this journey with all of you who get in. I'll be at Shady Grove. :) Those on the waitlist, DON'T give up. I was waitlisted last semester, worked my BOOTY off and was accepted this semester. Those who want it most will get it!
Does any one know what our schedule will look like in terms of how many times a week we will be in class? I work nights at Shady Grove hospital and it would be great to start preparing myself for what to expect!
Here I am answering my own question lol. But I just remembered I went to an info session last year and they told us what our schedule will look like. So I searched my computer for a picture ( I remembered I took one of the information) and found it! I'm not sure if this has changed much since two semesters ago but it's as follows: Lecture- 2 or 3 days/week. Labs- 10 to 15 hrs/week. Clinical- 2 or 3 days/week.
I know it's early to be getting into logistics but I am too excited right now! Hope this helps anyone.
My status changed Friday evening and I am still waiting, so I guess it is truly random! I have a friend currently at UMSON and her exact words were "just go along with the inconsistencies because they don't go away" hahahaha
I just want to post some background information about myself, and anyone who has been accepted to previous semesters can share some insight with me if the wish!
