8hrs? 10 hrs?

Has anyone gotten the 2 points for language proficiency on the RCC RN/ADN application?
I saw on the multicriteria point sheet that you can get 2 points for proficiency in a language other than English. I speak conversational Spanish and have used it quite a bit at work, including communicating with Spanish-speaking patients when I worked in healthcare, but I wouldn’t consider myself completely fluent.
Does anyone know what RCC considers “proficient” and how you prove it? Is there a test, form, documentation, etc.? If you received the 2 points for Spanish, what did you have to do?
Just trying to figure out if I might qualify before I apply. Thanks! 😊

I have a 2017 MacBook Pro lmao! 🤣 upgrading next year before nursing school and I have no idea what’s the most practical, useful laptop or an iPad with a keyboard? Help please and thank you! 😊

I’m 8 months postpartum, almost about done breast feeding and want to start on trentinoin. But I also want to conceive once I start my period again. So I was going to start the trentinoin when I am fully done with breastfeeding, use the trentinoin, and once I start my period and start trying again discontinue the trentinoin.

And clearly I feel this is pointless or not the right way to do it so that’s why I’m here getting advice and perspective. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m returning to college after about 13 years, so this is all new to me.
I have ADHD and anxiety and have my first appointment with the Disability Resource Center coming up. I’ve never had accommodations before (I honestly didn’t even know they were an option), so I’m trying to go into the appointment with an open mind.
My goal is to understand everything the DRC may be able to offer—not just testing accommodations. If there are resources, technology, coaching, note-taking support, study strategies, workshops, or anything else that helped you, I’d love to hear about it.
If you’ve worked with your DRC:
What accommodations or services were the most helpful?
Is there anything you wish you had asked about during your first appointment?
Were there any resources you didn’t discover until later?
Since it’s been so long since I’ve been in school, I’m also trying to learn how I learn best and set myself up for success from the beginning.
I’d really appreciate any advice or insight. Thank you!

Idk if it’s in my head or if what I heard was true but being postpartum I just feel my armpits get a little stinky and it’s really starting to get to me! :( I heard this helps??

For anyone in CNA, LVN, or RN program who has used accommodations:
What accommodations did you receive?
Did they actually help?
Were there any downsides?
Did it affect clinicals or anything later on?

I’m mainly trying to decide whether it’s worth registering before classes start. Thanks!

I’m curious to see what everyone’s points were to see if I have any chance at all getting in for next year. Thank you!! ☺️

Just want to say hi and see if anyone here is signed up?

After one night only and my right breast is so tender! Has anyone else had a clogged duct? I’ve used a heating pad on and off and some ibuprofen and I’m still so sore.

Can you work 4 hours in the morning clock out and go back a couple hours later to work a couple hours?

What’s going on with myportal? It’s not loading.

Okay mamas how do we feel about teething gels for our babies? Absolutely not? Do we think they help? If so which one do we recommend?

Possible diagnosis of ulerythema ophryogenes. I’m really hoping putting these on my eyebrows will help the inflammation! Who knows about hair growth but if the redness and inflammation will go away I would be so freaking happy! 😞

Any information or help or something optimistic?? Idk yet if this is what I have we’re in the very beginning of trying to figure it out.
