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

    I just took my maternity ATI today....scored in the 99th percentile (level 3)!! In my program, we have to pass with at least the 50th percentile to pass the course, no matter what your grade is. And...

  7. How long did it take you to get into your nursing program?

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

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to zrc2009's topic in General Nursing

    I am a junior in RIC's nursing program, so I may be able to help you out a bit. The second degree students blend right in with the traditional students, with the exception that you would not have to...

  13. Opinions on OB/Peds rotation???

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program and am taking OB and Psych right now. We take them simultaneously for a total of 16 weeks, so it's a LONG semester. I really like my maternity lecture and clinical....my teachers...

  14. Brushing up

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

    Hey there. I'm in RIC's program but I am guessing the stuff that we do can't be vastly different from CCRI. I would definitely recommend going over dosage stuff. D/H x Q, conversions, IV fluids,...

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

  17. Physiology

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

    Oh you can definitely handle physiology! I obviously took it at RIC...but I'm sure it can't be too much different at CCRI. It's an interesting class, and worth really learning because you will use it...

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

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Blondie1988's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous poster. For LPN licensure and a much shorter route than CCRI, I would try Diman. http://www.dimanregional.org/lpn.asp They are having an information session at the school on...

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

    I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling! I actually did better in Anatomy than in Physio and Micro. The way I was successful was to simply be repetitive. I would rewrite ALL of my notes after each...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to D1914's topic in General Students
