  1. What's your ANNUAL SALARY?

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

    I recall that you had posted the same exact question maybe a week or so ago. I have a friend who works in a PICU here in RI and makes about $70 K per year. Regardless, right now I would focus on...

  6. RIC Students: Students Who Applied for Fall 2008

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    Basically it does not matter who you are, if you have 50 degrees or no degree.......this program is competitive. You could be the pope with a 4.0 GPA and still not be guaranteed. Bottom

  7. Nervous about LPN pay in NE Arkansas...

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

    Wow....my aunt is an LPN and makes $24/hour (which doesn't go very far in the northeast)....what a difference location makes! Would it be worth it to try the RN route right away instead of LPN --->...

  8. RIC Students: Students Who Applied for Fall 2008

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    **also.... depending on what you have taken for sciences already will determine how long the program will take you. The nursing portion takes almost 3 years to complete. That is not counting the...

  9. RIC Students: Students Who Applied for Fall 2008

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    RIC will accept a certain number of transfer credits, and of course some sciences have an "expiration date." The nursing committee has a certain number of spaces for students who started their...

  11. Where to start apply to nursing school?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Student_6's topic in General Nursing

    I personally don't know of any school, private or public, where you can "get a BSN fast".......are you looking for an accel program for second degree candidates? Or do you not have a previous

  14. Is nursing a possiblity for me?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Can I B's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think at age 53 I would embark on something as long and difficult as nursing school, but then again that is my opinion. My father is 52 and looking forward to retirement....I can't imagine him...

  15. part A to my answer of why I want to be a nurse.

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

    Yes, I think being straightforward and less Florence Nightingale-ish is the better way to

  16. Pregnant in nsg school?

    RhodyGirl, RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are there any RN's here who became pregnant while in nursing school, and still made it through successfully? I am having a scare right now and just need some support.

  17. Pregnant in nsg school?

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

    Thank you all for sharing your stories. Getting through NS is difficult enough, nevermind adding on complete responsibility for another human life. I am getting married in 2 months and I think the...

  19. Does anyone know inside details about RIC's nursing program

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Honeybunny6275's topic in General Nursing

    I did not take Anatomy at RIC. I took the BIO 108, Chem 105, Chem 106, Physio, Micro and Human Devel at RIC. Taking any of the prereqs, etc.. at another school is frowned upon, and I wish I had known...

  20. My school won't let me retake any of my prerequisites

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

    I would NOT advise this. Any college you apply to will require transcripts from ALL colleges previously attended. Withholding transcripts from a school because of poor grades is sneaky and, if caught,...

  21. Does anyone know inside details about RIC's nursing program

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Honeybunny6275's topic in General Nursing

    StikyNoteRightr....Sorry to get you down, but it's just reality. I've already been rejected once with a good GPA. They put transfer students literally at the rock bottom of the list. I have an A in...

  22. Labor and delivery nurse

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Shawnygirl003's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm fairly sure that all new RN's make similar amounts no matter which area they choose to work in. With you being in California, the rate of pay is going to be a bit higher (probably around...

    You are in my thoughts.

  24. Does anyone know inside details about RIC's nursing program

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Honeybunny6275's topic in General Nursing

    On another note, transfers that are applying to RIC's nursing program need at least 45 credits AT RIC or else your chances are slim to none. This was said by the dean herself. I transferred to RIC...

  25. Does anyone know inside details about RIC's nursing program

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Honeybunny6275's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm thinking a 2.7 isn't going to get a person into that program. There are so many other people with great GPA's that are getting rejected. As for me, this is my second and final application...
