  6. New England Tech in Warwick, RI

    mgalano replied to navycorpsman2010's topic in General Nursing

    I dont understand why people would want to pay that absurd amount for a nursing degree when ccri only costs around 9-10,000 in all. And IMHO MA schools are so useless, my sister went to lincoln tech...

    mgalano replied to StrawberryVanilla's topic in General Nursing

    It does suck but it's just something you have to do, you should be able to do it in 3 semesters, I did all my pre reqs in 3 semesters starting in Fall 2009 with anatomy, Spring 2010 physiology, Summer...

  11. Heparin mL/hr and gtt/min? HELP!

    mgalano replied to SElliott87's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well I see how it is 6gtt/min. Use the 25mL/h. 25mL/60 min x 15gtt/mL = 6.25 = round to 6 gtt/min but I don't see how you can get mL/h... they didn't give you an amount of time.. they just said...

  12. CCRI- physiology and microbiology at same time?

    mgalano replied to StrawberryVanilla's topic in General Nursing

  14. CCRI- physiology and microbiology at same time?

    mgalano replied to StrawberryVanilla's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know you cannot take them together. It needs to be fair for everyone so I don't think they would allow this. I had to take micro over the summer, If you take it first session you have...

  16. CCRI Application question...

    mgalano replied to lilkuz06's topic in General Nursing

    I hadn't heard that they were switching to a new point system, it seems like they just switched to their current system. It will be more clear cut as to who should get in first and such. I don't think...

  21. CCRI Acceptance?

    mgalano replied to Braga92's topic in General Nursing

  22. CCRI Acceptance?

    mgalano replied to Braga92's topic in General Nursing

    mgalano replied to Braga92's topic in General Nursing
