  1. New grad looking for a job

    Please don't give out misinformation. St. Rose definitely DOES take new grads, and has one of the longer and more instructive new grad internships in the Las Vegas valley. ER, Oncology, Orthopedics, IMC, Surgery, and L&D all take new grads at St...
  2. <Information about Touro Nevada>

    Incorrect Touro received permission to accept 56 students for November, and are likely to accept students for March as well, as long as they maintain 80% NCLEX pass rate. http://nevadanursingboard.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/071811boardmin.pdf I b...
  3. So much wrong with this post, grammatically and content wise. Can't tell you how many addicts say "You don't know me, I can handle it!"
  4. UNLV Spring 2011

    Ideally its best to have all A's. That said when I was accepted I had(in the classes that count toward your GPA calculation): 1 C, 2 B's, 2B+'s, 1 A- and 1 class in progress(acts as an F on the points form). What got me in was the fact that I had pa...
  5. CSN RN Spr 2012 applicants When Are You Turning In Your Packets?

    Incorrect. The evaluation of transferred credit from NSC needs to happen before submitting the packet, otherwise the DARS will be incomplete and the credits won't count toward the prerequisites/points.
  6. CSN RN Spr 2012 applicants When Are You Turning In Your Packets?

    Cheyenne Campus is where the credit evaluation takes place, or it was when I applied. Tell the people at the registration desk that you are a nursing student and need it to be rushed, if possible try and get them to walk it up to the lady who does th...

  8. UNLV Spring 2011

    B+ in chem 111, I took it at NSC. I don't know what the cut off for this fall was, you might want to try the advising office.
  9. The only difference between the Cardio III and Cardio II SE is that the Cardio III bell can be converted into a Pediatric Diaphragm.
  10. UNLV Spring 2011

    Study what the professor says is important, don't try to memorize 300 pages for information for a test. Try to get acclimatized to NCLEX style questions, particularly figuring out what the question is really asking. I'm a certified EMT-I, just educat...
  11. Blood transfusions??? just say no...

    Like being set against giving blood because of personal reasons?
  12. UNLV Spring 2011

    I don't believe the advising office when they say that GPA and Hesi scores increase every semester, I'm fairly certain the minimum entrance points for Spring 2011(my class) was lower than fall 2010, as people with similar points didn't get in for fal...
  13. UNLV Spring 2011

    I believe the final count was 11 out of 48 did not proceed to the second semester. 1 or 2 were people who passed their classes and simply decided not to return. The rest did not pass at least one class, most are still in the program, but are having ...
  14. Immunizations & nursing school

    And therein lies the problem with the anti-vaccination crowd.
  15. Blood transfusions??? just say no...

    There is a real scientific/medical reason for a pregnant or transplant recipient nurse not to be around patients with infectious diseases. There isn't a scientific reason for a nurse to not be able to administer blood products.
