I would definitely recommend CCRI. It took me 3 1/2 years from starting my pre-reqs to finishing the program. I graduated this past December, just took my boards this week and got my license. CCRI is a great school and has a great program. You get a...

Hi everyone.. I've been reading over all the posts here and I remember exactly how you feel. I'm going into my last semester of the nursing program at CCRI this fall. It's been the fast almost 2 years of my life and I can't believe I'm going to be g...

There is some moving around during the semester, it varies for each level. Here's how it has gone for me. Nursing 1010: 1st 3 weeks, CCRI Nursing Lab for basic nursing care 2nd 3 weeks, Nursing Home, Woonsocket Last 8 weeks, RI Hospital Nursing 202...

Hi kellbell11, First congratulations for getting into the program. I am in the day program at the Lincoln campus and will be graduating this December. So the scoop is that while they try and have you do your clinicals as close to where you live as p...

I don't attend either of the schools talked about in this post, but I just wanted to give my 2 cents. I'm going into my last semester of nursing school and I have continued to work 40 hours a week the entire time I have been in school. I know it's no...

HI lilkuz06. Welcome to the boards! I know that CCRI has really been having a hard time filling all the slots for the program as they don't have a waiting list anymore. For last spring, they had an open enrollment just before the semester started, an...

Hello Desiree. Welcome to the boards. There is a lot of information on here, and it's a great place. CCRI has an excellent nursing program (I just finished my first semester and start Nursing II in the fall). There are several prerequisites you will ...

Hello Everyone. I just wanted to wish you all good luck with your applications for the fall. I know it's such a long process and seems like it takes forever to hear anything. The time really does start to fly though. Once you get accepted and then s...

So if there are any of you out there that have your pre-reqs completed, it looks like CCRI is really having a hard time filling the slots for the spring program. The following posting came out today. "Students who already have completed all the prere...

Yes, I will be at the Lincoln campus. I will also be working full-time while in school. That is probably, if anything, what makes nervous. It will be a lot of work to keep up with the job and school, but I don't have any other options. Good luck to ...

I too start Nursing I in..wow, just over 2 weeks now. I'm more excited than nervous. It seems like it's taken a long time to get here and I can't wait to begin!!!

I too am starting in January, but not until the 25th. I swear my school gave us a month and a half break! I can't wait to start though.

So tomorrow is orientation. It appears that there are only 3 of us on here that are actually attending CCRI in the spring(or there are lurkers that are hiding in the wings) I know orientation isn't much, but I am excited. Hope to see you guys there t...

I too got a B in Anatomy and am starting nursing school in January. I did manage to get A's in all my other pre-reqs though, which helped me keep my GPA up(currently 3.8) My school grants acceptance by looking at grades in the science classes and TEA...

I studied a bit for the math portion. I've never been that great at math, so I brushed up a bit.

Hey there... I don't personally think it's that difficult of a test. Just try not to stress yourself out about it. Take your time to read the questions. Also remember to use the time that you're given for each section. No reason to rush through it an...

I can tell you that my school in Rhode Island has completely eliminated their waiting list and is now based solely on grades and your TEAS scores. It's a community college and is only an ADN program, but has a very good track record. I believe for th...

Hi guys... Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Time is flying by and Jan. 25th is going to be here in no time. Just thought I'd share that I got my orientation information in the mail today. Looks like Wednesday December 16th at 1:00pm is the...

Just thought I'd check in.... It looks like registrations are slowly picking up and that makes me happy. Also good to see they have now added the instructors to the course. Guessing nobody has heard anything about orientation yet? There is only a mo...

Hi guys... I registered yesterday too. I was just online and see that there are only 12 registered so far. I figured they are still having a hard time finding enough people to fill the class because a few days ago there were 120 slots available, and...

Hey Everyone... Just curious if anyone here (even though this board is usually pretty dead!) who are starting the Spring Nursing program, have received anything official from CCRI yet? I got a call many weeks back saying I was accepted and they would...

Just an update... I emailed admissions on Friday and got a reply today. She said she has just been busy trying to get all the applications processed. My major has now been changed to "Nursing - Level 1" I should be getting my actual acceptance lette...

Yeah I'll definitely have to give Ruby a call next week. My major still says "general studies" and a concentration on nursing. I can't wait to start, but I'm getting tired of having to follow up with them time and time again to make sure I'm actually...

Thanks for the update MrsPeep. I think I might have to give them a call next week. I haven't heard anything from them since August when I got the call from Ruby Morris-Jones saying she was going to include me in her "accepted" students. Who was you...

Hi everyone... I'm super excited and just want to boast a little bit. I got my call yesterday that I have been accepted into my schools ADN program for Spring 2010! :w00t: I feel like I have been working on my pre-reqs forever and can't believe it ha...
