    cjcsoon2bnp replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    For the most part I don't care what the gender of my nurse, doctor or any other healthcare professional is but I will say, as a male, if I was having a catheter inserted or something like that I would...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to EkInRI's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely look into applying at RIC. As I said before CCRI is a great school with some really great programs and I definitely don't regret my time there but I just think that CCRI needs to...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to EkInRI's topic in General Nursing

    I know how y'all feel. I graduated high school in 2005 and did the pre-reqs at CCRI and at the end of the Spring semester in 2007 I was told that I would be on the wait list for 3 more years (I had...

    GPA little low

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Lastdon9680's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like most of the other users on here I recommend that you retake some of your classes to raise up that GPA. I think that you should find a program your interested in at a specific school, retake the...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    There are schools that make their students strip down to bras and underwear (boxers for guys) to do physicals and bed baths and stuff. There are students who have posted it on here and a friend from...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to crazensweet's topic in General Nursing

    A Question for RIC Nursing Students

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    Wow thats a relief. Hey just wondering but how did you find this out? I am just curious if another student in the program told you or if you asked a professor.

    Human Anatomy CCRI

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to crazensweet's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah the dead cat thing is pretty nasty but its just something you need to do. I took Professor X for Physiology (she was pretty cool) and I haven't taken Micro. yet (I'm taking it at RIC in the Fall)...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to crazensweet's topic in General Nursing

    Changing careers but discouraged by a failed student

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Dude you must have been real stupid to graduate with honors and pass the NCLEX on the first try. Your girl was right, sure everyone can graduate college and become an RN but not everyone can strip and...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Honeybunny6275's topic in General Nursing

    No problem about the rambling Katie, we all need a chance to rant and rave. The Second-Degree candidate admissions is different from the students who are transfers or have been to RIC from the start....

    Does anyone know inside details about RIC's nursing program

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Honeybunny6275's topic in General Nursing

    I can see where your coming from, that makes a lot of sense. Chem 106 and Bio 108 sound like a good idea. Bio 108 is pretty timid for a science and will help to show some strength in science. The cold...

    Does anyone know inside details about RIC's nursing program

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Honeybunny6275's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with GreenEyes. The only reason why I suggested that Lala retakes Micro. is because Lala has almost no credits from RIC and having her only grade from RIC be a C isn't really great. Most of...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Honeybunny6275's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand not wanting to take Microbiology again but for your case I really do think its necessary. If you can only fit Chem. II and Micro. in to your schedule then that's fine. I am actually...

    Free Cna Training In Ri?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to crazensweet's topic in General Nursing

    There are a few Nursing homes that offer free CNA training but you must agree to work for them for XXX amount of time. Personally, I am not cool with anyone telling me that I have to work for them for...
