   Chem 105 and 106 were difficult for me. I worked very hard for my grades in those classes (which were high B's). I am just not a chemistry person... The only tips I could offer you from my own experience is to get extra help if you need it!! Get the ...

   Thanks for the math/meds exam info! I have been worried! So its the same as fundamentals: 90% or higher is passing, and you get a retake (or 2). Good to know.

   Not sure. I think your right, I don't think its in the handbook either. But all 4 professors in my fundamentals class last semester (Fall 2010) specifically said "white leather and no cloth" to the class. I hope we are able to wear different colors. ...

    Also...I was looking at RIC's nursing website and it looks like admission requirements have changed a little bit. (Rumor had it last year they were changing the requirements a bit). The minimum overall GPA is now 3.0, and combined GPA for the 3 pre p...
