  1. Frustrated New Grad RN, HELP!

    TRR8021 replied to nicole anne's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Try to apply outside of the hospital too. I know everyone has bad things to say about nursing homes, but it's a start. A friend of mine's cousin started in the nursing home on the night shift as a...

  2. Any Memorial Hospital nurse interns?

    TRR8021 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there is a Memorial Hospital nurse intern? If so, how much do you get paid? Is it enough to live on or is it more of an experience thing than a job per se? What was...

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

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

    Yes, you take a calculation exam for every clinical throughout the program and they supply the calculator. I believe passing is 90% and you get 3 chances. As long as you have a Math for Meds book,...

  7. Accelerated non-nursing BS to MSN degree

    TRR8021 replied to logel316's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If I had to do it all over again, I would go to one of those programs. My interest in nursing has always been to be an NP anyway. Instead of going straight for the master's, I've been plugging away...

  8. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    TRR8021 replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    These questions were fine to me. I think you are over-analyzing them. As you move along in your program, you will get used to these type of questions. Like others have said, try studying with an...

    TRR8021 replied to green nurse lpn's topic in General Nursing

    The full time position would be more appealing to me. You could always look for a per diem later

  12. Dehydration Q

    TRR8021 replied to glovedgoddess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm thinking it has to do with the electrolyte imbalance and higher hematocrit maybe? Dehydration will cause hypovolemia which will increase the hematocrit. Blood is more viscous and not readily...

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

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

    Well look at it this way, you get to educate your patients. That's a big part of nursing care. Also, you could be a nurse educator down the line and combine your interests! There's so many options...

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

  16. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    TRR8021 replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    I thought it said close to the nurses desk, not in the hallway. I pictured a patient in his room that's near the nurses desk in a wheelchair. I've seen that in nursing homes. I know they teach us...

    TRR8021 replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a hard time fitting in exercise too. I work and go to school just like you and I'm too tired at the end of the day and I try to sleep as late as I possibly can in the mornings! I can exercise...

  19. Nursing Career & Relationships, Marriage

    TRR8021 replied to OnePostAndDone's topic in General Nursing

    That's still first. You achieved the maximum grade point average in the class. That situation happened in a high school class in my area. Two students had 4.0's so there were two

  20. How do you stay sexy in nursing school

    TRR8021 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    I wonder why this topic gets people so riled up? What's wrong with being feminine or feeling sexy? I think that's part of being a woman. Some women are girlie girls and care about that stuff and...

  21. How do you stay sexy in nursing school

    TRR8021 replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Students

    I'm a student too but I wear my makeup (usually foundation, mascara, lip gloss or lipstick, just a natural look) and cute stud earrings. Sometimes I'll jazz it up and wear a headband too. That's...

  24. thinking about going for my nursing degree.... any suggestions

    TRR8021 replied to V9611's topic in General Nursing

    CCRI might offer more flexibility for you. I believe they have a weekend program, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe a CCRI student can speak to that. I go to RIC and they have a great program but there...

  25. Does anyone else feel like their program starts off slow?

    TRR8021 replied to jennafezz's topic in General Students

    My BSN program is like yours. You don't want to start clinicals until you get the theory stuff down. You need to learn skills too before you go out there with patients. Seems like you're going at a...
