    Just wanted to see if there are any people on these boards that are beginning the nursing program at Rivier College in the fall. Most of the threads I see are for those attending NHCTC in various...
  3. The Difference between "Scrub" pants and "uniform" pants?

    I'm not sure what the difference is either. We were able to choose between cargo-style pants (pull-on) or the drawstring variety. Our college just gave us a piece of paper with all that we needed for...

    Thanks for the reply! I am attending a private Catholic college, 2 yr. ADN program. The only thing that you must have before entry is chemistry and algebra, then of course the NLN with minimum grades...
  10. Anyone attending Rivier College?

    Thanks for all the scholarship information that you've been so nice to post here on the boards. Unfortunately, none of those will help me for this semester. My husband and I have over $150,000 in...
  11. Anyone attending Rivier College?

    Sorry to hear that you had to withdraw, especially on the first day! But if you are satisfied with the decision, I am sure it is the correct one for you and your grandmother. I can sympathize with...

  22. WHAT ARE PRE-REQs???

    Thanks for all the information. I think I have a better understanding now. I don't think that I mentioned that I am already #4 on the waiting list so points do not matter at this stage of the game as...
