Thanks for the luck! :). And as for nursing advisors... You will be assigned an advisor. It goes by last name. You cannot pick one. You get a nursing advisor even if your not I'm the program yet. I believe you have to go to records and change your ma...

Chem 105 and 106 were difficult for me. I worked very hard for my grades in those classes (which were high B's). I am just not a chemistry person... The only tips I could offer you from my own experience is to get extra help if you need it!! Get the ...

Chris...any advice for med.surg I and pedi? Anything I should brush up on for day 1? Thanks! :)

Congrats!! That is awesome!! I was accepted last Spring (2010) and I was very proud too! And you should be!! Its not an easy task and the competition certainly isn't minimal! NURS-220 and 222 are not difficult courses (in comparison to the rest of th...

That's good to know! Thank you! I actually prefer black and its not too late to return the shoes I just bought! Thanks for the good luck! I will need it! Med. Surg and pedi are a few weeks away!

Thanks for the math/meds exam info! I have been worried! So its the same as fundamentals: 90% or higher is passing, and you get a retake (or 2). Good to know.

Not sure. I think your right, I don't think its in the handbook either. But all 4 professors in my fundamentals class last semester (Fall 2010) specifically said "white leather and no cloth" to the class. I hope we are able to wear different colors. ...

...I've got a question for some of the 2nd semester juniors or seniors....Whats up with these math/meds exams on the first day of clinicals? Is it just like the math/meds exam we had in fundamentals? they supply calculators? Is it for every clinical?...

Shoes for fundamentals have to be white. (My professor said that later in the program, some professors may allow black) But for fundamentals, white shoes are a must. They can be all white sneakers (leather, no cloth b/c of risk of bodily fluid splash...

You can get everything right at Alexander's uniform in Warwick. The scrubs do take a few weeks to come in (they need to be embroidered with RIC nursing info.) I would order them soon just to be safe. They do tend to get backed up just a little bit as...

Also, the company I certified through is called Therapy Dogs International. There are 2 companies that the local hospitals accept therapy dog certification through... atleast here.

I currently volunteer at a local children's hospital (and an adult care hospital) with my dog. He is a registered and certified pet therapy dog. There was quite a bit of work that goes into it. Aside from getting the dog certified there are rules and...

What a nice post! :) Merry Christmas to all those health care professionals working the holidays!

There are about 6 men in my classes. Ranging from early 20's to early 30's. :)

Also...I was looking at RIC's nursing website and it looks like admission requirements have changed a little bit. (Rumor had it last year they were changing the requirements a bit). The minimum overall GPA is now 3.0, and combined GPA for the 3 pre p...

mcb5603...I got your message but I cannot reply via "private messaging" because I have to have 15 posts (or something like that) to have the privilege of private messaging. I can however email (according to Allnurses.com FAQ's). So if you would like ...

I had Foote for 220 and Wilks for 222. I loved them both. Foote can be intimidating at first but she is great. She will give you everything you need for the exams. She also prints the powerpoints for you ahead of time and provides these "workbooks" t...

I went through the same thing. You need to call health services at the college and ask which ones you need completed now because even though the paper says you need all this proof of all these vaccines and tests, some you only need before you start c...

Hi! Congrats on getting accepted!! I was accepted Spring 2010, so I just finished my first official nursing semester. :) For 220 and 222, I cannot remember exactly how long it took for them to register students, not that long, then again for the Spr...

Ok. :) Sounds great!

I think the review day is a great idea!!! I just finished my first semester at RIC (in the nursing program). Its definitely something I would be interested in attending. :)
