RIC students!

they say that the pre-req for that class is CHEM 105: General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry1

Erica-

PM me for any info on RIC.

I got in for Fall. As for the chemistry....you need to take 2 courses. Chem 105 and Chem 106 before applying.

Thx Rhodygirl! So how many years do you have left, 3? Do you know if RIC offers anything during the summer? I know other schools do "accelerated program" type things but I don't know much about RIC. Just when you think you've got it all figured out at CCRI they like to confuse you. They're gonna make me crazy. Well, crazy-ER.

On a lighter note, I just got back from the Paw Sox game, so I got to see Big Papi hit that homerun. It was really fun!! And so much cheaper than going to Fenway!!

Have a good night everybody...

damn Erica ! You lucky .....bleep...... I wanted to go!!!! :cry:

Maybe someone else exciting will play in Pawtucket soon, Tessa. It was fun!

Just an update on all this Chem nonsense-- I guess I can't apply for this Spring to Nursing (at RIC) because I'd already have to be a student at RIC this fall, and the application deadline has already passed. So maybe next fall. I'm gonna go ahead and get started on some Chem classes at CCRI. I guess CCRI's CHEM 1190 is the equivalent to RIC's 106. So you need to take a Chem 1020 at CCRI before you can take 1180 and 1190, which are for healthcare majors. I'm taking a CHEM PLACEMENT TEST next Wednesday to see if I can place out of 1020 and maybe 1180... But I absolutely hate Chemistry and suck at it. That last time I took it was in HS about 11 years ago. I'm sure 1020 will be easy to place out of because it's mostly basic lab procedures which you use in all the other labs I've already taken for Anatomy... Physiology... Microbiology... Ugh it's so much science!!

Well, there is a CRAZY thunderstorm rolling in, so I'm turning my computer off so it doesn't get fried. YAY! It's finally gonna rain! My garden will be happy.

Goodnight everybody...

wow...thanks for that information Erica...I was wondering which chem classes at CCRI were equivalent to the one required at RIC. But I think you will get in to CCRI before next Fall...

Ps. I was kidding i dont like baseball at all just football and basketball

Erica-

RIC is pretty stringent about "taking care of their own"....if you know what I mean.....I would suggest getting in there soon (if that's your plan) and start building up RIC credits if you want to apply to their nsg program!

It's been a long road but it's an unbelievable feeling to finally be in.....I wish you and Tessa the best of luck!

Remember if you have RIC questions, please speak up!

RhodyGirl, RN · Jul 25, 2008

Oops, and I forgot to add:

Any class that is listed as a prerequisite for RIC (Human Development, Anatomy, and Chem 106) should be taken at RIC to improve your chances of being admitted. It also helps to have all of your coreqs and most of the geneds completed (especially if you are a transfer student).

Hope this helps.

That makes sense rhody.....after I use up my scholarships I may transfer.......so your getting ready for the Fall?

RhodyGirl, RN · Jul 26, 2008

As ready as I can be!!

I'm leaving for Jamaica on Friday so it will be my last relaxing break before the madness of nursing school starts!

It's funny, a few weeks ago I couldn't wait for school to start and now I am clinging onto the last of the summer days!!

crazensweet · Jul 26, 2008

Well, Well have fun!! I am from the beautiful island of Antigua & Barbuda not to far from Jamaica! have fun for all of us

RhodyGirl, RN · Jul 26, 2008
