    (moderator edit of name) is the best....you would be doing yourself a disservice by not taking him! as long as you put in the effort, he will go out of his way to help you, which includes opening the...

  3. What classes are you taking for Fall2009

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

    I'm taking Psych/Mental Health Nursing (6 credits) and Maternal Newborn Nursing (6 credits) in Fall 2009. Good luck to all the pre-nursing students; I know it's a long haul but you'll be in before you...

  4. YIPEE, start my summer micro tomorrow!!!

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to mom35's topic in General Students

    Good luck! I agree with a previous poster about not really using it in NS....but I suppose it's an interesting class nonetheless. Summer classes fly by, so that's a good thing. "Wow. You're more...

  5. RIC-so confused

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

    Any science course over the summer is going to be difficult and time consuming. I took 106 over a summer session and had to devote my entire life to it for 6 weeks! For 105, I had Dr. Knowlton and she...

  6. RIC-so confused

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

    If your hubby is supposed to transfer to Hawaii, it is ultimately up to you whether you want to switch schools or not. I would recommend that if you get accepted into RIC's nursing program, that you...

  7. RIC-so confused

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

    Hello I'm a junior nursing student at RIC (taking Psych and Maternity in the fall) and was a transfer also (in 2007). I was accepted on my second try with just over a 3.3 GPA. I would suggest that...

  8. finals!!!

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

    Good luck with finals everybody. I have two exams plus ATI....May 8th is my last day and then I will officially be a junior nursing

  9. just got my call...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Bill_Daria_07's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely right. Nursing faculty expect you to put nursing as number 1, and would have no qualms with replacing you. In my first semester of NS, one of my professors basically said she didn't...

  10. Advice on pre-requisites

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to ms brown's topic in General Students

    You will be studying a ton, but it's certainly possible to take those courses together. Plus, it's good preparation for the huge workload that nursing classes

  11. am i really ready for NS

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to erin1821's topic in General Students

    I felt the same way before I started. You will learn a lot, and if you put in the time then there's no reason you shouldn't do well. It will fly by---I can't believe I'm 3 wks away from finishing the...

  12. just got my call...

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Bill_Daria_07's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an "islander".....so, welcome! Congrats on your acceptance. I'm in RIC's program, but I know there are some students on here who attend CCRI for nursing. Hopefully you'll meet some people who are...

  13. What is your choice?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in General Students

    That's odd. I would have chosen airway as well. Did you speak with your instructor

  14. Are there clinicals the 1st semester of nursing school?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to JadenRN TO BE's topic in General Students

    The nursing portion of my program is 6 semesters long. First semester is strictly in the classroom (therapeutic interventions and professional nursing 1). Second semester is health assessment and...

  15. Finished with that first year of nursing school?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to ICAN!'s topic in General Students

    Grab this book: Test Success (Test taking techniques for beginning nursing students) by Nugent and Vitale. It's a GREAT book to help you get the gist of NS exams. I would also practice dosage...

  16. Grading Scales

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

    That's a little harsh, don't you think? I'm in a BSN program, but I can bet that anyone attending a CC that reads this segment of your post is bound to be

  17. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am hoping that because I'm getting a BSN, it will give me a better shot at what little jobs are out there when I graduate. I'm also hoping to get an internship/SNA job next year to get more...

  18. Grading Scales

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

    I feel really bad for some of you! Our grading scale (BSN) is: 93-100 = A 90-92 = A- 87-89 = B+ 83-86 = B 80-82 = B- 77-79 = C+ 74-76 = C Anything below a 74 is a failing

  19. Students not working while going to school....

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Students

    I quit my job before I started my BSN program. My husband makes enough to support us and pay the mortgage/bills, so I am grateful for that. I also take out some student loans for tuition, books, etc....

  20. Physical Assessment lab sign off?

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

    I just did my second performance exam for health assessment last week and Erb's point was one of the check off points for CV. OP- just try and relax as best you can and pretend the instructor isn't...

  21. Should I get my Associates or Bachelors in Nursing??

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to xiongstar_31's topic in General Students

    If you have aspirations to go to graduate school, I would look into the BSN program. Everyone chooses their program for different combinations of reasons, you just need to figure out which would...

  22. Do you know your schools NCLEX pass rate?

    RhodyGirl, RN replied to shann106's topic in General Students

    Good points to bring up! There was a meeting held by nursing faculty a few weeks ago at my school regarding ATI exams, and they discussed some of the things you have written about. Our pass rate since...

  23. RIC's med/surg summer classes

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

    Yeah, I think I'll like it too! It seems like it will be a good learning

  24. Does "your" instead of "you're" drive anyone else nuts?

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

    This is actually one of my biggest pet peeves, PMS or no

  25. Is nursing school easier if you have friends in the program??

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

    Making friends in NS doesn't help your grades much (at least I don't think so), but it's nice to be able to laugh with people and chat about things that your family members just wouldn't
