  1. RCGC Nursing - Fall 2019

    TofuSandwich replied to registerednurse1day's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, you should definitely apply. You'll want to double check with an advisor but the only individual grade they look at is your highest of the sciences mentioned in the packet, and to my knowledge...

  2. Rcgc nursing program

    TofuSandwich replied to ldn2015's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm a current student in the program. No, it is not easy, you are learning a lot of material and skills in just 2 years, but it definitely isn't impossible to do well. I've managed to maintain all A's...

  3. C in Anatomy

    TofuSandwich replied to megalleni's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one can answer this because it depends on the school. Some won't and some will, though the ones that technically accept it may rank students in a way that it places you too low on the list to be...

  4. Rcgc nursing program

    TofuSandwich replied to ldn2015's topic in School, College Programs

    There are several schools with the initials RCGC. Which one are you looking

  5. Having trouble in clinical

    TofuSandwich replied to lily8424's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you might be more of a hands on/application learner. Getting more practice applying the information you learn in class will probably help you retain it a bit more. Clinical can be great...

  6. RCGC Nursing 2018

    TofuSandwich replied to autumn.'s topic in New Jersey Nursing

    In previous years they accepted everyone that met the requirements to apply, but during the last admission cycle they got so many applications that they had to deny some people. Unfortunately, a C in...

  7. How to confront a disrespectful professor

    TofuSandwich replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

    Cancel the meeting and use that time to work on your assignments to get ahead of where you would have been otherwise. That is the first step you can take to make sure you don't get in that situation...

  8. One Tattoo Situation

    TofuSandwich replied to lightscemogirl96's topic in General Students

    Either cover it with a bandage, or

  9. My experience at Otero junior college

    TofuSandwich replied to Dianax7's topic in School, College Programs

    You can think it's ridiculous, but you're the one that failed your program because you expected to be spoon fed all the content. You will not find a passing student whose instructors manage to cover...

  10. Taking AP over in nursing school

    TofuSandwich replied to nursinginterest's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I assume your actual nursing program starts in January? If I were you, I would take A&P1 in the winter before starting nursing, then A&P2 in January, and Nutrition and Micro over the summer....

  11. My experience at Otero junior college

    TofuSandwich replied to Dianax7's topic in School, College Programs

    Relying only on exams to determine your grade is not uncommon at all. My program is 4 exams and a final that determine your semester grade, that's it. No extra credit, no participation points or...

  12. Best advice for a new nursing student?

    TofuSandwich replied to sciencenotsilence's topic in General Students

    First, know that the first month, maybe longer, will probably feel pretty terrible. You might feel unsure of yourself, wonder what you got yourself into, and start thinking that there is no way at all...

  13. fall 2017 nursing program.

    TofuSandwich replied to Livelaughloveloy's topic in School, College Programs

    I guess I'll stop checking the bookstore website for the book list if they won't have it ready until June. Hopefully they're changing to less expensive books, especially since they raised tuition for...

  14. I think I'm getting kicked out of my program ... help

    TofuSandwich replied to mariawong's topic in General Students

    When you say you do quizlet, are you making your own sets, or using other people's? The act of making the set yourself goes a long way in helping you retain information. To give you an idea, this is...

  15. A&P 1 and 2 Flex Terms

    TofuSandwich replied to Kscray's topic in General Students

    I did accelerated (7 week) classes for both A&P1 and 2 this semester so that I could get them both done in 1 semester instead of 2. In addition to those courses I'm also taking public speaking and...

  16. Rutgers ABSN FALL 2017

    TofuSandwich replied to Johnwick101's topic in School, College Programs

    NJ universities must accept courses from community colleges within the state. Years ago there were issues with them refusing to do so in an attempt to discourage students from attending 2 year...

  17. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    TofuSandwich replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I joined when invited this semester. Being a member makes me eligible for more scholarships offered by local organizations through my college, plus it's one extra thing to set me apart from an...

  18. Older version of NCLEX review ok?

    TofuSandwich posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've seen it recommended very frequently that students begin studying for the NCLEX at the beginning of their program, rather than waiting until the end. I start my ADN program in the fall, and I'd...

  19. fall 2017 nursing program.

    TofuSandwich replied to Livelaughloveloy's topic in School, College Programs

    I handed in my physical/labs/CPR cert packet today and they checked it over to make sure it was all correct. I only got a 1 step PPD and they said that was fine so no need to do the 2

  20. fall 2017 nursing program.

    TofuSandwich replied to Livelaughloveloy's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't remember them saying anything about 2 step at the info session (possible I went to a different one than you did though). The paperwork only mentions the 1 step so that's what I did. I just got...

  21. HESI Exam receive lowered grade than wanted

    TofuSandwich replied to Dejabanks4's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    OP, when you say UTA do you mean University of Texas Arlington? If so, it looks like they unfortunately require a 75% in all sections to apply....

  22. HESI Exam receive lowered grade than wanted

    TofuSandwich replied to Dejabanks4's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Unfortunately it all depends on how your school ranks candidates and how competitive admissions are. My school would not accept those scores for entrance because the vocab is below their minimum of...

  23. M-30 Former Poor Student

    TofuSandwich replied to ArtisticNursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you took anatomy 5 years ago and never looked back I would definitely take a&p 1 and 2 before starting a nursing program. They won't stop to teach you that foundation knowledge, you'll be...

  24. background check help (new member)

    TofuSandwich replied to murse007's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Here is something I just found that may be what is happening in your situation. It's buried in a long forum thread so I will copy the relevant post here: "Clearing your arrest or criminal record can...

  25. background check help (new member)

    TofuSandwich replied to murse007's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'd be at the courthouse today with documentation asking them what you need to do to get it fixed. I'd also be at the nursing office of your school with that same documentation letting them know that...
