I have had rotator cuff surgery and a knee replacement. I would rather go through another knee replacement than shoulder surgery. I need to have my other shoulder done as well as my other knee. The knee only hurt for a couple weeks while my shoulder ...

I stated before I needed 40 credits or so. Thankfully, only need about 18, what a difference. Glad I looked at it again. Finally get to sign up for my first class tomorrow, so excited! Took me a long time to decide to do this and it's finally her...

Thanks! I have to take a total of 40 Gen Ed credits from what I can tell so far. I haven't really looked at it too closely yet. At this point just looking forward to getting started with the nursing courses!

Thank you recent posters for the updates! I've just accepted admission for September 2016 but haven't been able to find out much information online from others on how they like the courses. I completed my ADN at CCRI and URI accepted all my transfer ...

Thank you for replying. Your system sounds similar to what we use. I was just looking for ways to streamline and simplify but I'm not coming up with anything better!

Hi everyone, I didn't know what forum to put this in, doesn't quite fit pediatrics. I work for a childrens residential shelter for abused and neglected children. We also take in kids who have behavior issues and are removed from their homes if the ...

After graduation I worked for a year on a med-surg floor where I learned a lot! Had a good orientation followed by 2 great preceptors, one for day shift and another on the night shift. Believe me, nursing school is totally different from "real worl...

Hi, I went to CCRI - Warwick, graduated May 2003. I was also told at that time that I was on a long waiting list and it could take a couple of years. I had enough time to get all my prereqs done and some of the science and 1st semester requirements...

It's official. I took the boards on Tuesday, didn't feel good about it when I walked away; turned 40 yesterday which only added to my misery, but found out today that I passed!!! I'm so happy! Actually, happy doesn't even begin to describe what I ...

Thanks again everyone!!!

Thank you, thank you, everyone!!! I'll come down off the cloud now!

Don't give up. I had a hard time finding a position too and kind of fell into the perfect job just about when I had given up hope of finding something halfway decent. That's it, become a stalker! In this case, it's ok! Good luck!

Congrats Gator!!! It must feel great to be writing RN after your name now!

Positive thoughts coming your way! Let us know how it went! It will be my turn soon.

Congratulations on your graduation!!! I'm sorry your friends are doing this to you. Don't let it ruin your happy day that you worked so hard for. Remember, it's your day to celebrate your accomplishment! Be happy, be proud! Party on!!!

Congratulations! Enjoy the day! I just graduated myself and it was over before we knew it!

Good to see you back Mario! Hang in there, things will work out for you, you've got the perseverance to make it! Sending positive thoughts your way!

{{{{Jnette}}}} It sounds like it was indeed a blessing in disguise and you will have your memories of him and know that you helped him in his time of need. My thoughts are with you. Laurie

I had my pinning ceremony a week ago. I had my husband and children pin me because they deserved the recognition also. They went through the neglect, no clean clothes, messy house, and many mac and cheese dinners while I was in school so I felt the...

Positive thoughts coming your way for a fast recovery!

Congrats to you!!! Keep it up!

I am so excited! This is the moment I've been waiting for and it's finally here! I'm just walking around with a big grin on my face and my kids are looking at me like I've finally gone off the deep end. I can't wait!!! Congratulations to everyone...

New Balance here too! I suffer from plantar fasciitis and these shoes are really comfortable and help me get through the day.

I'm going to Vegas the end of July. Heard about the pickpocket problem so will try to be aware of that. We are bringing the kids and will take them on the rollercoaster and to see the fountains. Any other recommendations for kids? Thanks!

Hello! I can't believe it's finally almost over. Only 5 more clinical days for me. Final is on May 6, pinning on May 16, graduation on May 23! Congrats everyone!
