  1. I'm currently taking my nursing pre-reqs at CCRI, going 3/4 time. I'm on my second semester and I'll be taking anatomy and a few other things, mainly because when I registered last semester it was too late to get into any anatomy class. What I am won...
  2. Anyone wear scrub dresses?

    Hey all, I was wondering if any of the ladies here wear scrub dresses ever, instead of pants? Are they acceptable uniform at hospitals/ltc facilities? I'm asking because I was a CNA until very recently, and I always got so incredibly hot in scrub top...
  3. Advice for anatomy over the summer? (at CCRI)

    Thanks for responding :) I've completed one other class (a simple elective) and am currently working on three more of the pre-reqs (I literally just got started). I'm glad to hear that Micro was do-able for you over a summer term! That gives me hope ...
  4. Advice for anatomy over the summer? (at CCRI)

    Hi, is anyone else planning on taking a science class over the summer session? I'm seriously considering taking Anatomy, but I have heard scary things about doing so. The thing is, I really think I *HAVE* to. I had a spring start and was unable to ge...
  5. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Geez. I don't get why this would offend anyone. Of course, it would be terrible for someone to claim they are an actual NURSE if they aren't yet. But to say you're a nursing student when you're doing pre-reqs? So what? Depending on the school, you ma...
  6. Human Anatomy CCRI

    Edit: woooops didn't notice this thread was over a year old! Sorry everyone, it's been a long night Hi all, could someone please tell me how many days per week the anatomy classes meet for, and for how long each day? I'm trying to plan out my pre-re...
  7. I am getting ready to start college in January. I have tons of prereqs to do but thanks to a big stroke of luck I'll be able to go full-time, which I thought would be impossible! I've wanted to be a nurse since I was a kid; my mom was a nurse in the ...
  8. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    I have a question for anyone in this thread who would be kind enough to answer :) I am just starting my schooling to get a nursing degree, and I was wondering- is the job market only this difficult if one wants to get into a hospital job? I'm wonder...
  9. Any RI LPN programs besides CCRI's?

    Thanks for responding everyone! I do work as a CNA, doing private home care/companion work for the same patient, since 2002. I absolutely love the job but I would like to do more technical healthcare work (as opposed to the support work of being a CN...
  10. Any RI LPN programs besides CCRI's?

    bummer. I think I may have to give up my plans to become a nurse, at least for right now. I just can't figure out how to have enough time and enough money *sigh*
  11. Any RI LPN programs besides CCRI's?

    Does anyone know of any LPN classes located in Rhode Island, that is *not* through CCRI? I don't want to go all the way to getting a bachelor's degree right now, but they have so darn many pre-requisites that I might as well if I go there. I was hopi...
  12. Hello, I have a question for everyone. Is it reasonably possible to hold a job while getting your LVN or Associates RN? Or is it just asking to fail/get burnt out? I'm 31 years old, and really REALLY wanting to become a nurse. But, my husband and I c...
