  1. RIC students!

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

    Erica- PM me for any info on RIC. I got in for Fall. As for the chemistry....you need to take 2 courses. Chem 105 and Chem 106 before

  2. For all Nursing students and Nurses... I need you!

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to amy1577's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. A bachelor's is a four year degree, while an associate's is a two year....though both of these can take longer (and usually do) to complete than 4 or 2 years. I chose to get my BS because there...

    Go with your gut. I saw many people second, third and fourth guessing themselves and ended up killing their lab grade. Good

  4. Change from ADN to BSN?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is just my opinion, but if medical school is what you really want, go for it. Nursing is not a stepping stone to medicine, nor should it be considered a backup plan. There are too many people...

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

    Thanks for posting that, Tessa! To address your question.....from what I read in your post it does seem like they would be able to admit more students than normal. I'll try to find out for you.....we...

  10. Seeking the truth about Nursing School acceptance...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to nurseman78's topic in General Nursing

    I would hope that people applying to NS truly want to be a nurse, not a MD. They are two very different fields. Competition to get into NS is pretty fierce right now. With that being said, I did not...

  11. Human Anatomy CCRI

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

    Not that I can think of. Just make sure you keep an eye on your glove stash....people just love to "borrow" your gloves EVERY

  12. Nursing students going into CRNA school?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to heidinoel21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not me, Bicster! I don't care how much money they make, CRNA is not something I am interested in. FNP is more "me." I agree with you though.....I hear lots of students talk about pursuing CRNA...

  14. can you be successful in nursing if

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

    Yes. A person who is not great at science and math can become a nurse. It will just take extra studying, motivation and dedication on behalf of the student. Math and science were never my strong...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Considering Nursing Career- is it for me?

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

    Just FYI: The phrase "eat their young" is not liked on these boards. It's a sensitive area for most people here. I hope you get the responses you're looking for, and

  17. this website....

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

    I have noticed an occassional rude remark on AN. But then you have to realize that people who say nasty things for no reason (especially over the internet) usually have nothing better to do. Just go...

  19. Nursing advice

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to cherisse12286's topic in General Nursing

    Get your prerequisite grades up as high as possible. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to your question....it all depends on how you approach it. Just getting into NS is difficult, so if you can...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to SuperSteff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just relax and enjoy your break now! :) I may get a PDA (or just borrow hubby's) to store info on meds, etc....but I'm not sure yet.

  23. Why is it so hard?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Awesome3's topic in General Nursing

    There is no real nursing shortage per se.....it's more a shortage of RN's who are willing to work under poor conditions. (IMO) Getting into NS should be difficult. You will be responsible for people's...

  24. Which program is best?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to CherryB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would apply to all of them. Apply to the community college and while waiting, keep taking the classes for the BSN program. Then apply to both of those. Chances are you may not get into all of these...

  25. What do Junior Colleges Require?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on which school you're referring to. I don't go to a community college so I don't know....but you could go to the particular school website and check out their prerequisite
