  1. To pass or To be the highest?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to psySins's topic in General Students

    I don't care if I get the highest grades, but getting below a B is completely unacceptable (for me). When I hear the "I don't care as long as I passed" stuff, I cringe. I try my best, and always do...

  2. Back to being an ugly nursing student

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    I don't think that it's important to know how many people think you're a model. I also think it is very rude of your patients to be calling people fat and ugly (it doesn't offend me because I am far...

  3. Back to being an ugly nursing student

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    I think he meant "we" as in students, not Polish people!

  4. I spent over 600 dollars on textbooks and supplies

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Don't feel bad, you got off cheap!! Last semester: $750 for books only This semester: Books = $250; supplies including steth, pda +software, scrubs, etc etc...$965! Yes.... almost $2000, not...

  5. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with you! My new husband and I already own a home, but we want one that is much bigger. We plan to live like we do now once I graduate....for about a year or so.......and sock away...

  6. Wow....the changes

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to crazensweet's topic in General Nursing

    That's great! I'm not ready for spring, but you know how that is. I don't have classes on Tuesdays so I'm starting Weds. My nursing classes are on Thurs + Fridays. What are you taking this...

  7. RIC Spring 2009

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to pond3's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, crap! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I was in NH for a few days. I hope you found the board, it's right in Fogarty on the second

  8. Wow....the changes

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to crazensweet's topic in General Nursing

    Aww, we missed you too Tessa! How did everything go last

  9. Taking two anatomy classes at once

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    I would not advise this. Take your time and really learn the information (just ONE A+P can be overwhelming). The material will come back to haunt you later

  10. Nursing students getting in a BSN program...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Nellifuturenurse2010's topic in General Students

    I got all of my geneds (except for 2 classes) and corequisites finished before starting the nursing program. I took classes every summer and a pretty full courseload every regular semester to get it...

  11. RIC Spring 2009

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to pond3's topic in General Nursing

    We used the yellow 2009 drug guide last semester. You don't need to go crazy trying to order the Springhouse one.......just get the one that's in the bookstore! Foote always called it "Springhouse"...

  12. RIC Spring 2009

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to pond3's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, your first exam will be on Nutrition, second Pharmacology and third Pathophysiology. If you start reading the basics in the nutrition book (first couple of chapters) it should be helpful. Good...

  13. RIC Spring 2009

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to pond3's topic in General Nursing

    Foote (220) will want you to get the nutrition (Nix), clinical drug therapy (I forget the author), and pathophysiology (Gould) texts. Your exams will be separated into units in that subject

  14. Getting into a Nursing Program

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to CUBritt08's topic in General Nursing

    You would probably need to go back and take those courses. Do you have any of the prereqs done, or would you need to do them all? If you have the opportunity/time/money, I would recommend BSN right...

  15. How is the Nursing School Different from Pre-Reqs?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to futuredream's topic in General Students

    Critical thinking........it's not just memorization like in the prereq classes. You'll need to apply knowledge to situations and understand why answers are correct or "the most"

  16. Last week of vacation before NS starts again,what will you do?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    Going to the gym, leaving for a ski trip on Thursday. I'll be doing some reading assignments on the trip, though. Then it's back to school on the

  17. Nursing School Tests/Starting Salary/Per Diem

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to oldfashionedlove's topic in General Nursing

    My program requires a 74 to pass. If you fail a course in the program, you're allowed to retake it once. After that, you're dismissed. You could try the regional forums for NJ and NY to get more...

  18. accelerated BSN programs for transfer students W/O a batchelors

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to ORhopeful's topic in General Students

    Hi there- I don't know if there is such a thing as an accel BSN for student without a bachelor's degree; could be wrong though. Do you have any of the basic prerequisites completed? Also, beware that...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to pond3's topic in General Nursing

    Go to http://www.ric.edu Then, online services...go to RIConnect and sign in. When you go to self service, then student center, your schedule should be right

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to pond3's topic in General Nursing

    I will second Chris' emphasis on following instructions first......DON'T write anything on the paper until you've read ALL OF THE

  21. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    I agree with not buying American cars. I currently have an Acura and have always had a foreign make vehicle. They last longer, and are better quality all around (IMHO). I would take my lovely little...

  22. RIC Spring 2009

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to pond3's topic in General Nursing

    I placed my order on Monday, and they shipped out on Tues. I am expecting them to be here by Monday at the latest! I also ordered all of my nursing supplies online at http://www.allheart.com and those...

  23. Hey, I've cleared my head and decided to pursue nursing anyway

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    That's GREAT! Never give up on your dreams. My goal was to be accepted into a BSN program....which I never thought would happen....and here I am going into second semester! Give it your all and...

  24. RIC Spring 2009

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to pond3's topic in General Nursing

    I went to the bookstore on Monday, ready to buy them, but they had NO BOOKS! So, I went home and ordered them on half.com, they should be here any day now. I already have most of the books that are...

  25. RIC Spring 2009

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to pond3's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, gotcha. I figured they might do that. OH! And I forgot to mention: when you go to Fogarty on the nursing floor (where the nursing office is), check the bulletin board and write down all of the...
