1. When the professor hates you WWYD (please help)

   DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in General Students

   You know, the weirdest thing? She's not on there! Every other professor in my program is on there, and she's not...A friend of mine checked last semester and saw some things said about here and decided not to take her but now, she's gone? Can they ha...

2. When the professor hates you WWYD (please help)

   DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in General Students

   Absolutely not. One girl had her digital recorder sitting in front of her and she screamed at her that there were to be absolutely no recordings of lecture. The recorder wasn't even on but she never specified this before. However, the irony is that t...

3. When the professor hates you WWYD (please help)

   DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in General Students

   Hey, thank you guys for such supporting words. Honestly after reading your responses, I do feel a whole lot better. I guess I will have to make some allies in case I sneeze in class and get kicked out. It's like what was mentioned, the DON will proba...

   DesertRain posted a topic in General Students

   Hi all, I am sitting here typing in tears and I need advice on a situation. This is a long one, and I apologize. Okay, I'm in third semester NS and my OB instructor hates me (okay, I know that's an opinionated statement but I am emotional about this ...

   Eek wow, sorry to hear that Dee. I had to go through a similar problem when I went for my CNA license a few years ago. I should probably go do that now....as "May" is my graduating date.... Thanks for the heads up! BTW how much are they charging thes...

6. Did you hear about this at CSN??? RN program

   DesertRain replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in Nevada

   I just wanted to say, I'm in 3rd semester at CSN and to be completely honest, these math tests are not a surprise. Everyone in the program is quite aware of these tests from day 1. They teach you the math that you need to know from first semester in ...

7. appollo college

   DesertRain replied to jordiemom06's topic in Nevada

   CSN does not have a waiting list. I finished my pre-reqs and the following semester I started Nursing School. I did not have to wait, and neither did many of my classmates, it all depends on how you did in your pre-reqs. But that's just FYI. And in ...

8. CSN RN program

   DesertRain replied to i_wanna_be_a_nurse!'s topic in Nevada

   Just wanted to say, they have changed the points program since Spring of '07 or since Fall of '06 when 19 points would enable you to get in. I believe the change took place for applicants trying to get in for Spring '08. I started Fall '07 and we wer...

9. Any colleges near Las Vegas with a waiting list?

   DesertRain replied to rainorshine978's topic in Nevada

   LOL, the people who suggested CSN as a community college must not go there! It's now an actual college it wasn't just a name change. It's a college simply because it is able to offer Bachelor's Degree programs, community college's can't do that. Just...

    Thanks KizzyKat! You've always been so supportive of us students. I'm getting close to the end of my second semester. I'm so ready for it to be over, I can't wait for the summer. I just keep reminding myself that this time next year, I will be getti...

11. Med Surg in Vegas?

    DesertRain replied to RiaRN's topic in Nevada

    I too would like to hear from an RN in Vegas who has more than 6 patients and what hospital that would be because I keep hearing about this gigantic pt-nurse ratio and have yet to see it or meet an RN that is dealing with it. I'm not an RN yet but wi...

12. Nursing at University Medical Center

    DesertRain replied to hnp5's topic in Nevada

    I am not an employee, but I am a student nurse doing clinicals at UMC and I honestly love it. As far as the nurses there, I think they are great, very professional. I was on ortho/trauma floor and found it fascinating compared to others so I think as...

13. Lack Of Skills Training

    DesertRain replied to wonhaeng's topic in Student Assist

    There are also RN's working on the floor who have still never performed a skill he or she did in lab on a patient. A newly graduated RN friend of mine told me that when we get out into the real world, it's always okay to ask. I myself have gotten use...

14. Helpful TEAS study tips

    DesertRain replied to saral_123's topic in General Students

    You know in the pre-nursing section of these fboards, I remember there being lots of information for TEAS and NLN--the people there had a lot of info that was helpful to me. Or you can go to the search section on your top right hand corner and type T...

15. Fail Rate In Reno:

    DesertRain replied to Terrace54's topic in General Students

    I'm at CSN and they accept 134 students, I believe after the first semester we were down to almost half of that. I think our class is getting used to the boot camp like atmosphere. I know that CSN has a really high NCLEX pass rate that they are too p...
