Hello! I received a conditonal acceptance letter from Riverside School of Health Careers. I will begin the day division starting in January and would love to hear from anyone else that may be attending. I can't wait to begin classes! Heather

We have 6/13 week semesters. :)

Hello! Riverside is a two year diploma program. I finished Level 1 today and really enjoy the program. Cinical hours begin 5 weeks into the first semester and increase with each level.

Hi Jburton7! I sent you an email. :)

Hi! I have heard that it is good to purchase an NCLEX review book. I plan on purchasing either the Saunder's NCLEX review or Prentice Hall NCLEX review and begin practice questions on day 1. Will you be attending the Day RN program? Heather

Tracy, My GPA is currently a 3.1 and I scored a 81% on the TEAS. Riverside has a rolling admission. You must complete a minimum of 10 pre-req credits before you apply, score a minimum of 73.3% on the TEAS and complete the interview. I don't know how ...

Eeek! I'm taking Micro in the Fall and I'm sure I will feel the same way. I hope I don't become a germaphobe. Is micro a difficult class? I've heard mixed reviews.

Hi 757! I applied to the RN program the beginning of June, took the TEAS on July 12th, had an interview on July 21st and received an acceptance on July 30th. :) I was required take the TEAS and have the interview before I received an acceptance. It s...

YISY4U, Check with the nursing school you are looking to attend. The school I am hoping to attend requires that you take the TEAS after submitting your application. The TEAS test is a beginning step within the application process. :)

I scored an 81%. I have not been accepted into the program but I have an interview scheduled for next week. The school I have applied to requires a minimum score of 73.3%.

Follow up: I passed the TEAS!!! JLV5646: Good luck tomorrow!!! Remember, deep breaths! :)

Hi! I took the TEAS yesterday afternoon, and I'm eagerly awaiting my results. (I should have my score by Thursday afternoon) If you look over the ATI study guide, you will do fine. The vocab words are very simple. Read the questions carefully, take y...

Hi Arielle239! I purchased the study guide and two practice tests from ATItesting.com. The cost is $60.00 for both but I think it is worth the money. The ATI practice tests are online but the study guide mentioned in the above post is an actual book....

I received a "B" in A&P I and II!!! I was so excited when I received my Spring semester grades. I just finished my application essay for nursing school and will be sending in my application. I am currently taking Developmental Psychology and will...

Wow! That's really low. I heard that some schools don't require the science portion, so I double checked with Riverside to be certain. :) Yeah, I noticed that our last PM's were in December... this semester feels like a blur! That's ok though... I'm ...

I thought your user name look familiar!

Hi! I spoke with someone in admissions a couple of months ago, and I believe the minimum pass rate is 73.33%. I was also told that Riverside uses version 4.00 of the TEAS test and science is included. The test if offered the second Monday of each mo...

Hi! I'm looking to attend the January 2011 Evening/Weekend program. I have not heard that they are looking to stop the RN program. I would call or shoot the admission rep an email, she is very helpful and may be able to offer some insight regarding f...

Hello! I have a few questions about Riverside's nursing program. I have completed the minimum 10 pre-reqs to apply but I have not had high school or college Chemistry. Will Riverside accept a developmental chemistry course? It says that you must pass...

Thanks!!! I really needed to hear those words of encouragement.

Katie, Your email address did not post but feel free to send a PM. I think I will attend the evening and weekend program. I cannot quit my job and I like the idea continuing to bring in some income. Will you be applying when classes finish in May? I...

Hi! Yes, I spoke with a rep in admissions and she said Chm 1 would cover the Chemistry requirement. I will be taking Dev. Chm on Thursday evenings at TNCC in Hampton. Are you applying for the day or evening schedule? I'm torn, I like the idea of work...

My professor rounded our grades, he said if we earned a .4 or higher then he rounded up. You deserve an "A", I hope your professor does the same thing. Did she round your test grades through out the semester? Fingers crossed!

I took my A&P final exam last night and I didn't know a single answer. I need at least 21% to earn a "C" in the class and I'm freaking out. I have no confidence right now and I worry that I did worse than 21%. It was a 100 question test and I wa...

Thanks everyone! Good luck Heather! I'll be shooting for an A next semester.
