   Your tuition will include all of your books, 2 uniforms, supplies (stethoscope, pen light, etc.), malpractice insurance, and graduation cap/gown (you have to return the cap/gown back to the school). You shouldn't have any extra costs except for maybe...

   It's very difficult to answer your question. For starters (and again I only speak from personal experience), you're too busy to sit down and reflect on how much you enjoyed a class/clinical. The goal for me was to get through one thing and move on to...

   I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree a bit with you. I was offered 2 out of state jobs, one of which was offered to me several weeks before I graduated and the other 2 weeks after I graduated. I didn't know anyone at those hospitals who helpe...

   My first bit of advice is to refrain from using the term "medical". Medical refers to doctors, and Remington will take points of your papers for using that term. Doctors follow the medical model, and nurses follow the nursing model. You will have a "...

   I recommend calling the school to get a definite answer. I can only give you my personal experience. For me, the first half of 1st quarter was 8-5 M-F. I started clinicals the second half of the 1st quarter. So I was in class 8-5 M-Thurs and 6:30-3:3...

   What is it you want to know? It's a real school, accredited, and you'll be a RN in 12 months. They do a good job preparing you to become a nurse. I was able to get a great job out of state even before I took the nclex. I wouldn't put too much thought...

    Hey akwildone, I'm a graduate of Remington, class of January 2012. It was a busy, tough, and stressful year. Thankfully, I don't have any kids, but some of my classmates did and they made it. You won't really have any time off, especially during the...

11. ARMY Nurse Corps, should I apply now or next year?

    flimfly posted a topic in Government

    I'm a second degree new grad RN, and I start my first job on a critical care step down unit next week. However, I really want to join the Army. My father was a nurse in the Army, and it's my goal to follow in his footsteps. I called a local Army nurs...

    If you're interested in a 2 bed/2.5 townhouse in Winter Springs, feel free to call or text 407-608-8141. I've lived here during my year at RCON, and it's been great. Pool, hot tub, sauna, washer/dryer, dishwasher included.

    I interviewed for Critical Care. Two of the three ladies were nurse managers on ICU units, which made me feel a little intimidated. I hope I get it. I showed my passion for nursing and my patients and clearly expressed education is important to me. I...

    Just finished my interview. It was extremely intense. My nerves were shot, and by the last question I was so nervous that I think I completely missed the boat answering it. Who knows.....I hope I scored real high on everything else in case my intervi...

    Your post specifically says that employers don't know the difference and will most likely not ask. If you're having problems getting into a grad school because of Remington, that's one thing. But you said your problem was that you couldn't get a job ...
