Hello everyone! I am looking for current, past, and even prospective students for Riverside's RN program. I will be applying for the September 2013 professional nursing program. For current or past students, what was your GPA and teas score? Also ...

Congrats! I graduated 12/04 and sit for boards 12/29, Kaplan live review is actually incorporated into our curriculum (somewhat helpful for me) but I have been studying/reviewing using Uworld and Lacharity PDA and I have already seen an improvement i...

Sorry forgot to answer a couple of questions. We do go to school for a majority of the summer. We are done with lecture, my cohort has two finals and after the second final on Thursday then we are out until September 3rd! You get approx a month break...

Generally speaking, you'll be in class half the day Mondays because the when the faculty has any meetings, they'll be Monday afternoon. You'll probably have at least 2 days through the week where you can expect to be in class/lab until about 3/3:30. ...

Congrats everyone, it is a great program!

Yes ma'am, you'll be perfectly fine. One of my classmates has a used book, I helped her register for Pearson's website and she has the same access (w/o an access code) that I have (w/ access code).

I hope in caught you before you purchase that med surge book. I bought the nursing lab access code and it is not necessary. You have access to the books website for free, just register (for free) ? felt like I got bamboozled, lol. This was my first t...

It varies, it can take up to 2-2.5yrs if my memory serves me right. They allow you to go at your own pace so you can take 1 class at a time or take on a full load and be done w/in a year I believe.

It's not as competitive as the other programs in the area but not super easy either. I would still apply because you never know unless you try :). I would definitely study for the TEAS V using the ATI study guide because you would need to get a dece...

Oh ok. I don't know much about Sentara's program, I've heard it is good though! Very competitive! My plan is to go to their first open house for next yr because I would like to do their RN-BSN and I know there are some pre-reqs I will need to take. ...

No problem hun! Are you applying for this fall start or January 2015?

We have pathophysiology lecture Monday morning, pharmacology lecture Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and lab on Thursday afternoon, health assessment lecture Tuesday afternoons with lab on Wednesday afternoon, diet therapy Thursday mornings, then Frid...

I used the ATI study guide and all of those practice tests (online and in the book). I also used McGraw-Hill's book with the practice tests but only took a couple of those.

Yes the instructors and other faculty are awesome! They are sincere about wanting us to succeed and I've had a great experience so far.

It went well, glad to be getting back in the swing of things

So, how was your first day?

They sell the exact same pants through Allheart.com, like $10 cheaper.

Yes, I had trouble with the pants and coat because they were back ordered...but they failed to let me know. I went to the store so my shirt was available right then. Originally, i was told my pants and jacket would arrive within 3-5 days but 2 weeks...

Yes, your username for Sonis should be the same as your username on MOODLE. With your password just click on the link where they'll email it to you (personal email not the school email). Some people's passwords are their birthdate and some got lucky ...

Me too! I'm ready to get started with a little bit of reading. And Dom, your schedule should be posted on Sonis as well.

I'm so ready to start back! Our schedules are up on Sonis!

With notes I just printed them out as well and would add my own notes, highlight on the outline, highlight and occasionally write in the book. I started off writing notes and then use the outline to fill in anything I missed but it was too time cons...

I would skim the chapter before most lectures. I used folders, highlighted due dates in the syllabi, had a planner for school, wrote things on my calendar at home, and put reminders in my phone.

Awe man, forgot all about allnurses for a minute there, lol. My lovely classmate did a pretty awesome job at summing everything up! One of the best things she already mentioned is studying the info after lecture (which most days I'll admit that I did...

The Uniform Warehouse off of J.Clyde in Newport News sells Danskos but I'm not sure if they have Nurse Mates but they have other brands besides Dansko.
