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

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

    I would like to be out of school before I'm 30 also....but I won't settle for anything less than a BSN. Moving is not an option as my fiance and I are homeowners and he has an excellent job as an...

  2. Confused. Whether I should drop Anatomy

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

    Basic A&P with NO LAB is not the same as a 4 credit intensive A&P course WITH A LAB. Interesting? Yes. Difficult? HECK YES. You can't compare apples to

  3. Admitted to graduate Master of Social Work Program but considering going for an ADN

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Womanonajourney1983's topic in General Nursing

    Just be aware that even ADN programs these days can take 4 years or more to complete. I am in a BSN program and by the time all is said and done, it will have been a 7 year deal. I wish you the best...

  4. Confused. Whether I should drop Anatomy

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

    WITHDRAW. Take the course when you have time to devote your entire life to it. I am not joking when I say that I quit my job and lived/breathed anatomy for an entire semester. It is one of those...

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

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

    I go to RIC. I have a 3.3 GPA and over 90 credits. I am 23 years old. Applied to the program for Fall 07 and was not offered a seat. I'm waiting to hear for Fall 08....should be getting that letter in...

  6. ATI Testing...tell me about it

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Price 2002's topic in General Nursing

    In my BSN program, there is an ATI exam at the end of every clinical semester. Those that do not pass (I'm not sure the exact cutoff number) have to take the clinical again.....even if they have an A...

  7. Getting into Nursing School

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to SweetiePie811's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely take your sciences over again. These are important and need to be at least B's. I applied to my school's nsg program last sem. with a 3.3 GPA....all A's and B's.......and got rejected. Work...

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

  11. Know nothing about Nursing, but interested!

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to maddfaiz92's topic in General Nursing

    Did not notice that the person posting is from Singapore, and I certainly never said I expected anything to be perfect. I was in no way being witchy, just didn't understand what the question

  13. protecting the rock!

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

    As the others have said ...leave that thing at home! I am not working yet, but when I finally get my license I will be leaving my 2 carats in the jewelry box during my shifts. I'm sure you would...

  14. Whats the biggest paycheck youve gotten as an RN?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think you will get a straightforward answer to the question you have asked here. It's borderline nosy and pretty irrelevant to anything you would be doing as a nursing student. If you are in...

  15. bachelor's degree question

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

    I agree with the post above. Finish the psych bachelor's first. I am not a nurse yet, but I am at a 4 year college working on a combo of BSN and BS in Psych. I love the Psych stuff...really...

  16. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

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

    Well, I guess my 3.25 GPA did not make the cut. 60 spots open for the Spring semester and I was not picked. What a great Christmas present, huh? Now I have to take pointless classes next semester...

  17. Bite Me!

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to sleepyndopey's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This happened to my sister; she does direct care at a facility for developmentally disabled adults. OUCH! Hope you don't get a scar like she did:o and that your little old lady keeps her teeth at...

  18. Just want to be a nurse =)

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to FutureRN718's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious..... what does being a "young caucasian female" have to do with the price of rice in China?

  19. L&D Nurses who have no living children

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

    As a woman who has suffered a miscarriage, I feel your pain. Just typing this is bringing tears to my eyes. Nothing will take the hurt away, and time will only lessen it. But, I think you will regret...

  20. quit after last 8th week of orientation. do i have to add this 2 my resume?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to lilmaxine02's topic in General Nursing

    I am way too chicken to hide something like that. Do the right thing, and keep your story

  21. what metal should my wedding ring be?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to SBK1013's topic in General Nursing

    And just another side note, I feel that it is a little unkind to be deeming people's rings as "gaudy" and such. I had one woman in my anatomy course a year ago who looked at my ring and said "yeah, I...

  22. what metal should my wedding ring be?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to SBK1013's topic in General Nursing

    I would highly suggest getting platinum, and a stone with a low setting (if possible). I have white gold with a 1.7 carat princess cut, and diamonds set in on the side (so a little over 2 carats.)...

  23. Encouragement? Opinions?

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

    If it helps you any, I was never a strong math or science student in high school. In college, I have successfully completed 8 credits of Chemistry (Organic, and Gen/Biochem) and 6 credits of...

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

  25. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

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

    I just had to get this off my chest.... ....I AM SO TIRED. I have 75 college credits, done with everything except Microbio and the actual nursing courses. I sent in my application for clinical...
