Congratulations GNhoping4RN!!!!! I just took the NCLEX today and got the good pop-up, hope I'll be celebrating like you in two days!

I just did the trick again (twice to be sure) and I did get the good pop-up this time, but not celebrating until I get my quick results Monday.

I just took the NCLEX this morning (feel a little shell-shocked) and decided to try the trick despite the routine maintenance message. I got "This candidate currently has an open registration for this exam. A new registration cannot be created at th...

First of all, congratulations!!!! Secondly, I will be taking the NCLEX tomorrow and have printed out a copy of your tips as a mini review - it is wonderful!

You are an inspiration! I will be taking the NCLEX in 3 weeks and have printed out your post and put in in my special NCLEX study folder - positive thinking is the way to go! Thanks :anpom:

I will be graduating in Dec. and am trying to figure out licensing. Can an RN hold licenses in two states at the same time? Approximately, how much does a license cost? Is there an annual fee? I do live in RI which I believe is a compact state, h...

Thats good to know. Do you know how long you have to wait before you are able to apply for licensure in another state after receiving your initial license? Maybe it varies from state to state?

Thank you, very helpful!

I found out last week that I have been accepted into the Newport day program starting in January 09. I've finished up all pre-reqs and need to only focus on the clinical portion. Is there anyone out there that has been through the program or in the...

hey crissy - I got my packet yesterday too, I feel a bit overwhelmed. There is a lot of paper work to organized. It is going to be a demanding schedule, which I expected, however to see it all in writing makes me a little nervous - with the family ...

It was supposed to be from 4pm-9pm, however it was a small group of us so we made pretty good time and were able to leave by 7pm. It was $45 at CCRI.

That's great news, thanks for letting me know! I just jotted it down in my calender (as if I would really forget!). I'm really excited to start as well, in fact I just took the CPR certification course and met two more of our Newport classmates. Lo...

No, I havn't heard anything yet. Deb Watson said the orientation would be sometime this month, I might give her a call by the end of the week If I don't hear anything by then.

No, I took anatomy in the fall of 06, also with Dr. J. I give you alot of credit taking anatomy during the summer, that must of been pretty intense.

One of my biggest worries is the financial aspect as well. I also have kids, a home and my husband is going to have to be the main bread winner over the next two years. I am looking into student loans, I kind of dread taking out a loan, but I just ...

Congratulations!!! I feel the same as you, excited but nervous. Have you received your official acceptance letter in the mail or heard anything about orientation yet? When I got the call about being accepted into the program I was told that the ori...

RhodyGirl, here it goes - I applied for the Spring 2009 day program back in Feb. of 08, February is the only time of year that applications are accepted for the ADN program. My acceptance was performance based (gpa 4.0), as you know CCRI is in the...

Thanks RhodyGirl-SN! I was planning to apply to RIC (RIC alum class of 92) for the accelerated BSN program, RIC is a great school. However, I am close to the Newport campus and really happy that I was accepted into the program at CCRI.

Thanks AZMOMO2! My school only has one application period for both fall and spring programs and it was way back in Feb. Fall applicants got notified back in May. It was a huge weight off my shoulders to finally get an answer - especially the answer ...

If I can find someone to take my kids for me at short notice, my husband and I will go out to eat and have a few drinks, if not, we'll stay home and have a few drinks! :cheers:

I got in!!!!! I received a phone call from my school to let me know I have been accepted into the Spring 09 nursing program - I feel so relieved, I don't even know what to do with myself! Best of luck to everyone else who is waiting, I hope you all...

I emailed the enrollment officer at my school (again)this morning, waiting to get a reply. Hopefully I will hear from her by the end of the day with some answers, hopefully it is something I want to hear!

This wait is making me nuts too!! I feel like I'm obsessed with knowing whether I'm in or not - checking the mail, email, voicemail. I've had two children, and nine months of pregnancy almost seems like an easier wait than this! I'm glad to know t...

Believe me, it has been a real test of my patience, however like everyone else here I should be getting an answer very soon, within the next four weeks. I figure since I could handle (some what) the past eight months, what's a few more weeks? I've ...

I applied for the Jan. 09 nursing program at CCRI eight months ago, I too should hear by the end of the month. The wait has been making me crazy!:sfxpld:
