@pink777 No, but it doesn't feel as bad as the first time.

Thats weird that some haven't recieved anything. But for those who applied to the Lincoln night classes, check your email. Its going to be an attachment.

For those who applied last year, did they pull your files less this time too?

CCRI offers the night/weekend option. URI, RIC, and Salve Regina are the ones that offer the BSN, but none at night/weekend. And the 3 year nursing diploma from St. Josph School of Nursing, is also available only durring days. Sorry don't know about NEIT other than, thats a lot of money..... Also, you can only get accepted to the weekend/night option at CCRI durring the fall semester. And only the Lincoln and Newport campus offer the night/weekend option.

you guys may want to check you ccri email, they just sent me mine. i guess i'll re apply for next semester....

We're past the getting ridiculous and into full blown ridiculous.... The nursing deptartment also isn't being very considerate of other deptartment at that school. Their pre-reqs are a requirement for other programs as well. There are people taking up those spots away from others who need them too, because they are not sure if they have been accepted into nursing. Now in less than two days the registration for fall class starts. The lab courses are the most prized seats because of fire safety regulations.

except that our ancestors weren't walking on concrete, but dirt and or grass. unlike a natural ground, concrete has no give to it. as for the question that was asked, i tried dansko, they are great if you need arch support. but they are very hard, heavy and high. the weight was never an issue with me. but when your standing/ walking for a couple hours straight with no chance to sit down, they hurt my feet. also they are kind of high off the ground. for me a good pair of sneakers worked just fine. i also don't loose my balance like the dansko. new balance are nice, but after a couple of months i do need to replace the inserts. that usually buys me a couple of months until i just go a buy a new pair. but righ now i'm wearing skechers(sp?) shape-ups toners. they are like the reebok shoes(with the ball techonology thingy), but more bouncy.

this is what i did. 1.cap - must be worn before entering the OR.(i would put it on in the locker) 2.mask - before opening any sterile items onto the sterile field. 3.eyeware - after you leave the OR room to go do your scrub (if you wear the shiled/mask version it saves time). also the time to put on shoe covers(only wear those when i know its going to be a messy case). --affter you washed-- 4. gown - you would go in the OR room and put it on.(theres a certain way to put it on, requires a second person to assit) 5. gloves - using aseptic tecnique. as far as order when taking off, there are two ways that aren't very different from each other. its perference, they are both correct ways. but depending on what kind of gown you wear. if your wearing a disposable gown either way is okay. if your wearing one of those fabric gown only the first one works. the second way can get tricky to pull off correctly. you can just go in almost reverse order: 1.gown (remove in the room) 2.gloves (remove in the room) 3.mask or shield/mask shoe covers if wearing them. (preferably in the room. it has to happen after the patient has left; or right outside the OR room *depending* on the layout of the OR.) 4. cap. (outside the OR) the other way isn't much different and is what i along with others i work perfer (btw i'm wearing the disposable gowns) which is i remove the gown along with my gloves and dump it all in the trash then mask and shoe cover. finally only once i leave the OR area do i take off the cap(in the locker). side note: the fabric gowns have a specific bag they go in along with thing like towels that get reused. disposable things like gloves aren't allowed in those bags, hence why you can only take those gowns off a certain way. whereas the disposable things get all trashed.
