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!!!!!!!!!
For those who were accepted in the Baltimore campus, anyone interested in creating and joining a FB page for our class? It seems that shady grove students have their own group and I wanted to see if anyone was interested in joining a group that was specifically for our class at Baltimore too.
Ugh, I can't believe that all nursing programs are another two years after prerequisites! This is why I wanted to do UMSON traditional bsn program, it doesn't make sense that you can attend 4 years of school to become an RN and earn an associates, or you can attend four years of school to become an RN and earn a bachelors. does not make sense to me at all!
Actually if you're going for your ASN it won't take 4 years. Nursing school only requires prereqs and for a ASN degree it's usually the same and alot less. So A&P 1-2, Nutrition, Micro,and maybe a couple others. U can usually get that done in 2 semesters. Not sure where you're located but check out NVCC. They have a hybrid option and I think it's accelerated. It's a ASN but you get it fast.
Traditional is 4 year.. with pre-recs.. = BSN + NCLEX + RN lisc.
ASN (community college) is 2 years with pre-recs. If you graduate from a 2 year you take the NCLEX and become a nurse but if you want to get your BSN you'd to into an RN-BSN program and get your BSN in 2 years to match up to 4 years like a traditional nursing school.
They both can take 4 years if you want your BSN but the fastest way to get your lic. is through a ASN program.
Then theres those who graduated with a different degree from a 4 yr school and still took all the pre-recs but graduated with a non-nursing major & then go back to a school for one year or 15/18m and get your 2nd degree BS in Nursing.
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! 
Good luck to everyone else still waiting!
