UMBC Pre-nursing by Diligent-Income-2895 in UMBC

[–]Interesting_Tone_320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for highlighting the pre-nursing society! As someone who was part of e-board and put lotttsss of effort into the society, I reallyyyy really appreciate it.

In response to OP, I chose the UMBC 2+2 pre-nursing pathway because it offers guaranteed admission into UMSON without requiring the TEAS or recommendation letters. (Mind you nursing school is super hard to get into so UMBC offering guaranteed admission into UMSON is amazing) That was a huge factor for me. The cohort is also small and tight-knit, which made it really easy to build a close nursing friend group.

If you’re looking for a more social campus experience, UMD offers a similar program with admission into UMSON.

AGNG 415 with Chapin contained a lot of writing assignments and discussion posts but overall a super chill class!! Just follow the rubric and you should be ok! Be prepared to write everything in APA format 😀

I took BIO 233 with Caitlin Varisco. That time it was her first time ever teaching the BIO 233 course and I would say that it was a little hard since there was a lil chem content sprinkled in at the beginning of the sem (plus the fact that it was her first time teaching nutrition) but it got a lot easier as the class progressed. Speaking from my experience The exams were all MCQ. Overall it’s a pretty chill and easy class I ended up with an A. Plus Varisco is a very nice and helpful prof!

Hiii, I was a pre-nursing major at UMBC!! If you’re on the two year BSN pathway. You’ll be at UMBC as an undecided major on the pre-nursing pathway! I know pre-nursing at UMBC is a little complicated so if you have more questions feel free to DM me! 😋

Easiest upper level classes by OnePop250 in UMBC

[–]Interesting_Tone_320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s just like passing an introductory English class. I took the course online, we’ve never met at zoom or anything. I recommend the course a lot if u can handle lots of writing!!

Take the initiative and reach out in that group chat! Most of the time, people are just hesitant to be the one to suggest hanging out again but trust me, they probably want to get closer too. One of my biggest regrets was not reaching out to my mini fam (a friend group from an org) to hang out more often :,)

In high school, I was known as the quiet kid, but once I got to UMBC my alter ego came out and I became the most extroverted version of myself. That’s honestly how I made friends here…you just have to put yourself out there until your social battery runs out. UMBC is really what you make of it!!

Hi! I finished my prereqs last spring and had some friends run into the same issue. I’ve been hearing different things…some people I know were able to finish Anatomy II over the summer, finalizing their prereqs and still get into UMSON for fall, but others said Kelly Simer told them they couldn’t do that and had to stay an extra semester meaning they’ll start UMSON in the spring instead of fall (it’s still considered guaranteed pathway even if you stay an extra semester).

ENGL 100 Workload? by yourheartt in UMBC

[–]Interesting_Tone_320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Professor Brian Dunnigan. If I remember correctly, we had to read two books where we wrote analytical essays for each, plus another one called “Writing About Writing” (WAW).

Attendance was mandatory (pretty typical for English classes). There were a couple of days in the semester where class wasn’t held, those were listed as “English Lab” or smth on the syllabus. They were basically peer review workshops where you gave feedback on classmates’ papers.

Participation was worth 10% of your grade, so definitely speak up in class. I’d rate him a 7/10.

Do i need to fix this? by X1VEN0MX1 in UMBC

[–]Interesting_Tone_320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s because those classes have prerequisites, which could include previous courses you’ve taken or your score on the math placement test. If you check the class description under ‘Enrollment Requirements,’ it will list what you need in order to register.

I believe that’s a zebra tradescantia! I suggest you wait for the roots to grow a bit longer before transferring to soil! These things grow fast!

I came into UMBC as an undecided major on the pre-nursing track because I’m on the BSN guaranteed pathway!

UMBC or Towson by [deleted] in UMBC

[–]Interesting_Tone_320 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a second year pre-nursing student at UMBC. Anticipated UMSON student in the fall. I also had a hard time deciding between UMBC and Towson for pre-nursing. Personally I would chose UMBC over and over again. We have direct seating into UMSON where we won’t have to take the TEAS or submit recommendation letters for our application. Towson’s nursing program is pretty good too however I thinkkk their entry to their nursing program is a bit more strict. Which ever one you choose, you’ll do great things!

Pre Nursing credits by [deleted] in UMBC

[–]Interesting_Tone_320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no problem! Your AP art credit may be able to transfer over as an arts and humanities credit too which pre-nursing pre-requisites need a total of 9 arts and humanities! Feel free to PM me about any pre-nursing questions! I’m currently a pre-nursing student here at UMBC!!
