Hi everyone - My story is long, but I will be concise. I am a first-semester student. Mid-semester, I was transferred to a distant campus of our school about an hour away from my residence. My new...
Well I hate to burst your bubble, but please be realistic, all of you. You may be taken by surprise by your instructor who decided one day to pick on you. Once he or she starts, he or she will never...
What I would like to know of any of you, is how nasty was the environment your first semester? I am by nature a very sensitive person. I get offended very easily. I have been verbally abused by my...
I was most unfairly treated. One day at the hospital I had a melt-down because from pre-conference to lunch the instructor did nothing but criticize and needlessly berate me. I finally broke down...
I am a first semester nursing student with a history of anxiety and depression. Yesterday on the hospital floor, the stress got to me and I resorted to a former maladaptive mechanism - cutting. It...
Hi - I would love to know who my clinical instructor will be and what my clinical sites will be. The suspense is killing me. I start in a week at the day program at the Flanagan campus. If anyone...
Hi all - Today is the first day for registering for next semester's classes. I would like to know when the nursing orientation is likely to be. Soon? closer to January or what? Thanks in
HI all - I now have all my books and have printed the syllabi from Blackboard. My question is: Which book goes with the clinical lab questions. There are a few pages of questions to answer before...
Today I got the official email advising of the orientation on Wednesday. It would have been nice to have known a little earlier, but I am coming to expect late information like this. Coupled with my...
ok I got the exact information today. The orientation on Dec. 14 at the Knight Campus is for all nursing programs - Flanagan, Knight, Liston, etc. Just thought I'd pass that along. The same time I...
slight amendment - I think that that orientation is for the Knight campus program only. I"m trying to find out when the Flanagan one is. more later. These people aren't very
For any of you nursing 1010 CCRI students out there, I just emailed Ruby Jones (I'll be Flanagan Day) asking when the date and time of the January 2012 nursing orientation. She responded that it is...
I've already done that. I am doing a little preliminary reading, though and trying to get the books at a cheaper price than the CCRI bookstore offers. I am also working on inner transformation to...
I have yet another question! I wonder if anyone who has attended or is attending the nursing program at CCRI knows if there are employee assistance programs in place at the clinical sites. I can...
I highly doubt that I will seek a hospital job. I am in the fortunate position of not having to rely on this income as my sole financial support. So if it doesn't work out, I'm not going to be...
Being fired so many times has definitely left scars on me. I feel as though I have PTSD from it. I'm actually afraid to re-enter the work force. Hopefully, that fear will be gone by the time I...
I have been fired from almost every job I've ever had, which is numerous. I don't really know why either. I am entering the field of nursing in January (school) and hope to break the pattern. I...

I am 55 and will start nursing school in January. My sister who had a B.A. in music graduated medical school at the age of 56. She's ten years older than I am. She is doing well at a VA hospital....
I am glad to have found this thread. I suffer from depression and anxiety. I am also afraid of people sometimes - social anxiety. I have this idea that all people are going to be mean to me. I had...
Hi everyone - I have just had the very good fortune (at least I hope it's good fortune) to be accepted into CCRI's nursing program Flanagan day campus starting January 2012. I have some questions...
Thanks. I was making it too complicated. I'll sit tight and wait for info re the orientation now. I've been reading one of the texts - one by Taylor -big fat thing - the book, that
Hi - I was just wondering if anyone was familiar with the Drexel University online direct-entry MSN program. I am doing some research on options available to someone with a bachelor's in a...
