    so with keeping this thread going lets go into the environment and handling of the neonate and things to support development. here is a few questions to answer (which should be interesting to see the different responses based on the experience of nur...
  2. get ER wait times on your phone ?

    A bunch of the hospitals in Las Vegas have this option to view wait times before heading to the hospital. I am pretty sure there is no magic trick to only having a 30 minute wait time for any of these emergency departments. There are a lot of choices...
  3. Knowledge deficit for the hydration? Not sure if you can go that far without seeing the patient. It might not have been a knowledge related issue for the patient that led to the dehydration. Risk for infection is good. Think about your ABC's! Since...
  4. Gripes Galore...Need ADVICE!!

    I agree with most other posts here. Past degrees mean nothing in nursing school. You earn all the respect. You said you are getting straight A's so why worry? Let the instructors do what they want. It seems petty to say that you think an instructor i...
  5. Question for second semester students

    Just make it known to your instructor that you have class after. You might be cutting it close if the clinical is far away as you wont be able to get a bite to eat in-between.
  6. CSN Fall 2011 rn program

    Fill out a fafsa, and contact financial aid. Financial aid should also be at the orientation and explain to you that there is an extra form to fill out stating that you have extra expenses as a nursing student. This will help you get extra.
  7. CSN Fall 2011 rn program

    It was around 136 last semester. So they may anticipate one less clinical instructor (8 students each). To everyone who got in! Congrats! Join the NSNA at the orientation. Your drug test will need to be completed from May 6-8. So what ever you may ...
  8. CSN Fall 2011 rn program

    Did you get a call to be an alternate? If not call the LE office. People will be dropping left and right soon after orientation. Just wait for all the failed drug tests, not showing up to orientation, not completing forms, forgetting to do backgrou...

    Calls should be going out tomorrow or Thursday. Good luck!
  10. CSN Fall 2011 rn program

    For anyone concerned with the math. Just buy the book for the toolbox class at the bookstore. It is about $6.00 and you can read through it. It fully explains the questions so you don't have to pay for the class.
  11. CSN Spring 2011 RN Program

    I would direct this to a major section of this website as this is not the thread to do this in. Questions like #3 should be some pretty easy research for someone to do. I would also make some specific questions instead of those. Ask about a specific ...
  12. Anyone going to CSN this semester?

    Just keep up with the reading! I am currently in the program (Starting 2nd semester). Focus on getting the points for BIOL 224 (after you finish BIOL 189 and 223) for the application for nursing school. Communications is also a very easy class to ta...
  13. pre-arranged schedules

    You pretty much got the idea. At orientation they had different half-sheets of paper on the wall that were all different "options". These options were to prevent students from making a mistake when registering and also to most likely stop students fr...

    Don't forget your receipt for the drug screen!
  15. Spring 2010 CSN ADN Program

    From my packet that I received on Friday it said "Tardiness in excess of 15 minutes will be considered as non attendance. Failure to attend will result in the loss of your position to the next member on the alternate list." So your chances of getting...
