Riverside School of Health Careers RN program

Published

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 how was the program, instructors, clinicals? I did attend the last open house in December and I was hoping that a student or recent grad would be there to talk about their experience. I love how the instructors seem to be really supportive and the small campus also appealed to me. To other prospective students what start date are you applying to and do you have any other nursing/healthcare experience? Any advice or other information on the program is greatly appreciated! :up:

Thank you for all the information !! I think I am up to date on most of them except for the TB assessment. I just need to get a physical.

No prob! That is good to hear.

If you've had the vaccines for some of the things before do you need the titers drawn?

No ma'am, as long as you have record of it! I have to get mine drawn for Chicken Pox Monday morning before work :-(.

I couldn't do that! Haha. I tend to pass out or atleast feel like I'm going to pass out when I get blood drawn.

Yeah, I know a couple of people either feel like they're going to pass out or actually pass out after having blood drawn. When I was preggo, I would get lab work done that morning and work the rest of the day.

Craaaaazy! I'm going after work tomorrow. Hopefully I can get everything done in one visit but I'm not counting on it

So I had my doctors appointment today. I pretty much passed out just from getting the tb test haha but I came prepared with a coke to drink. I only had to get a titer drawn for varicella. The only vaccine I need is the tdap and they couldn't do it there because of my health insurance but I can get it done for free on base.

Lol @ the TB test. Well that is good you're getting everything out the way. I can't wait to get the titer done and over with! I have tiny veins so it is almost always a pain in the butt to get blood drawn.

Yeah just typing in riverside for the code doesn't bring it up but if you go to our RN homepage on Moodle and scroll down to the textbook info the access code for the level 1, 3, and 4 students is there
