Hi all - Here I am dwellling on my recent rejection from the local nursing program. As I was taking the prereqs, I was acquiring the persona of a nurse. I was imagining myself as a nurse. I was sure I'd get in. I had a 3.8 GPA, hi TEAS scores an...

Does anyone out there know how one would apply for the LPN program at CCRI? I have emailed quite a few people over there and I am not getting any answers. Also, what other programs are there in RI? Any information on LPN programs would be welcome...

No problem.

What I inferred from your post Mully, is that my reaction exhibited human nature, albeit conceit. I do appreciate your broadmindedness. As I may have stated before, I applied a week ago for the second time and will hear in September sometime. If I...

I hope I am forgiven for my folly.

I didn't register for applied music to improve my chances for acceptance to the nursing program. I did it divert my attentions for a bit.

Sorry to have showed myself to be less than mainstream

When will my mother's programming wear off? What a fool I was to have allowed her to have such an impact on me growing up. If only I could turn back the clock and get my revenge and do it all over again. It's a rainy Sunday and I am down in the du...

My apologies to you all. I'm a product of my upbringing. I am trying to change that and all of your opinions made me realize that I still have a long way to go. I was raised in a educated and snobby household. My parents gave us many advantages ...

Unfortunately, I did not have to interview. That, I believe, is the process that would weed out the haves from the have-nots.

Thank you for answering me. I found out the same thing from one of the higher ups much to my chagrin. I don't see the logic in making it ADN acceptance mandatory before you can pursue the LPN program for which standards, as far as I'm concerned (ba...

Does anyone know if the RN - BSN program at RIC is any easier to get into than the second bachelor's BSN program. It sure is a lot fewer classes. I have this idea on the back burner. Thanks.

Yes, you're right. If I get in this time, I could start in January. If I don't, I will consider BCC. In the meantime, I am going to take some music courses at CCRI - violin lessons and piano lessons - They call it applied music. Maybe I should ha...

Hi - Thank you responding to my query. Yes, my prereqs are completed. Since BCC is more competitive than CCRI, I probably shouldn't bother. Or maybe I should go to their informational session just to see. I don't know. I applied to the Flanagan ...

oh one other thing - If I took the LPN course at CCRI and did the LPN - RN bridge program at BCC would I have a better chance of getting in. Is it worth doing that? Thanks again

Hi everyone. I am from Rhode Island and just applied for the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) nursing program for the second time. I have a Bachelor's. If I don't get in this time, I am wondering if it would be worth my while applying to ...

I handed in yet another nursing application today to CCRI. Lincoln day program. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'll take violin and piano lessons and maybe get a few gigs.

one more thing - I was thinking that logically, if I didn't get in this application period, if there were spots left over for the next application period in October, should I bother reapplying? I emailed Mr. Giovino who gave me a generic answer "if ...

Yes, the August open application period begins today and lasts through the end of the month. I was at that enrollment services at Flanagan at 8am to hand in the application, etc. This would be for the Spring of 2012 and a full complement of spaces....

I have been considering a number of options. First of all, I will once again apply for the Flanagan campus day nursing program in August. I was also considering taking the two prerequisite courses which I need to apply to the respiratory therapy pr...

They told me that all of the applicants that were accepted had 4.0 GPA s. I don't believe that. This isn't Harvard. The only thing I can do is try again in August. In the meantime, I am going to take college algebra which is a prerequisite for re...

I just can't believe they rejected me. unbelievable. I did all the right things

Tony - one other thing - The one-campus application rule is definitely unfair. My husband even questioned it. I didn't speak to that Ruby, but based on the way she recorded her message on her voice mail, she did sound snobby - someone who can't pro...

Auntyk - Thank you for your words of encouragement. I was at that Kinght office on June 1 at 8am. and Tony - yes, I find it hard to believe that all of the students accepted had 4.0 gpas. Then that Giovino guy (rob giovino - ) said that the readin...

My sympathies with this. They are not very professional at ccri. My husband was convinced I was being discriminated against because of my age. I didn't get in. I got the email last night. I talked to a guy named Rob Giovino who didn't give me an...
