  1. Any suggestions on getting a head start

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

    I am graduating this coming year, but I remember my summer before nursing school very well. I did not do anything to prepare, but if I had, I would have reviewed dosage calculations. The book we use...

  2. New England Tech in Warwick, RI

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to navycorpsman2010's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I cannot believe how expensive this program is! I am a senior nursing student at RIC and will pay far less for my entire BSN. RIC does not have a waiting list, but is highly competitive --so if...

  3. How did everyone do this semester?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Yes luckily our nursing classes are 6 credits each, for the most part, so the 12 credits qualifies me for the dean's list. I finished my gen-eds and all that other stuff before I entered the nursing...

  4. How did everyone do this semester?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Not only did I make Dean's List again this semester, but now I am officially a senior BSN student! This semester was killer and I am so glad I made it through with my GPA unscathed. Four more classes...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to lei7's topic in General Nursing

  6. Hard to believe but....

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    Congratulations, I know what you're feeling! As of this Thursday, I will too be a senior in my school's BSN program. It's been a long road and now I'm finally seeing that light at the end of the...

  7. Moving to Rhode Island

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

    I wish I could tell you that jobs are plentiful in RI, but sadly this isn't the case. We have a high unemployment rate. If you are an experienced nurse you may be able to find something, but new grads...

  8. No waiting list at CCRI

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

    Yikes! Which school do you go to, and are you in a nursing program yet? Do you have specific questions about a program here in Rhode Island? I understand some of your points, but there was...

  9. Rhode Island College School of Nursing-- BSN Program

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

    It's great that you're trying to spread the word about your school, but I actually made this thread specifically for the RIC program, and for students who may have questions about this particular...

  10. Rhode Island College School of Nursing-- BSN Program

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

    Sounds like you are right on track. I was a transfer and I was deferred on my first app due to lack of seats, but was accepted on my second application. They do pay attention to your transferred GPA....

  11. No waiting list at CCRI

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

    Thank you for posting this. I have seen many people leave RIC d/t many unsuccessful applications to the nursing program, but have had success with getting into CCRI's program. The lack of waiting list...

  12. Unsure about which route to take to be a RN

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Dream_Chaser14's topic in General Students

    There may not be a pay difference, but having a BSN will give you the basis to go to grad school if you want to, and will also open more job opportunities for you. This was the main reason I chose BSN...

  13. How many questions on ATI Fundamentals Test

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to labradors4's topic in General Students

    There's not any specific area to focus on. You need to read the entire book and do your online practice exams. This method has worked for me every semester. The Fundamentals ATI covers a wide range of...

  14. what is a typical nursing school schedule like?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to mishy0208's topic in General Students

    I'm nearing the end of my 4th semester out of 6 in a BSN program. This is my typical weekly schedule: Monday: Lecture 11-2, drive to hospital to get patient assignment and all prep information, leave...

  15. RIH/Hasbro Critical Care Internships:

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to lei7's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes that is awful. Not trying to scare anyone.... I am actually the one who is terrified of not getting a job, after all of this

  16. Rhode Island College School of Nursing-- BSN Program

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

    Good luck to you!! It's an overwhelming amount of work but it goes by quickly! Any specific

  17. Rhode Island College School of Nursing-- BSN Program

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

    LOL how could anyone not like you Chris?! I've never heard anything of the sort, but I will definitely mention it to her and see what we can set up for fall. And maybe an area for study tips?? Just a...

  18. Rhode Island College School of Nursing-- BSN Program

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

    I absolutely LOVE this idea! Let me talk with Marianne about it, maybe we could set up something during one of the SNA meetings. I'm thinking fall might be best, that way the students who are just...

  19. RIH/Hasbro Critical Care Internships:

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to lei7's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I think what you're saying is true. I have had ADN nurses at my clinical sites telling me that I made the right choice, because the job market is so competitive right now. It has taken...

  20. CCRI Fall 2010

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

    I just wanted to congratulate everyone on their acceptances. Welcome to the student nurse

  21. just starting toward nursing a few desperate questions.

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to airforcewife2000's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to tell you that I go to school with a young woman who is severely dyslexic. Her accommodations include extra time on tests and she also has a "peer note taker"; a person she can go to...

  22. RIC's med/surg summer classes

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to TRR8021's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and just an FYI, the ATI for med/surg is not taken until Med/Surg II (N372). It's a cumulative ATI covering the content from med/surg 1 and 2. They just changed this last semester; previously there...

  23. RIC's med/surg summer classes

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to TRR8021's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, it's N342. I'm taking it right now, and it's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. Lots of information, and the cardiac stuff is definitely tough, but I like it. I don't think I would...

  24. Do I really need a BSN?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    Not all BSN programs are as expensive as people think they are. My program costs under $6,000 per year for a full-time course load, and we have the highest NCLEX pass rate in the state. Yes, I will...

  25. NSA positions at Lifespan

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to sleepingbeauty7's topic in General Nursing

    Hello! What school do you go to and what level are you currently at? The only reason I ask is because I know that BSN students are preferred (a family friend of mine works for Lifespan). I just put...
