CSN RN Point system-What is the real wait time?


Anyone in the RN program care to share how long it took to get accepted? Points? Worth it to get the CNA? Just for a point?

i didn't have to do the point system when i went to CSN ( went through the bridge program) , but i suggest you get every point you can get. getting in could come down to a point. it's very competitive and you are up against alot of high GPA's and people with many points.

i'm sure you'll hear from some new students who can help you. good luck in your schooling !!

I got accepted for spring 2009, the wait time is not that long. I don't remember exactly when I turned in my application, but if you get accepted, they personally call you. I'd say about 2 months wait maybe? This was last year. I know I had to go the K bldg a few times before I attended the mandatory orientation. Take the required classes AND the extra classes for points for now (trust me, you'll need them, especially for pharm)! By the way, if you get accepted, there is a mandatory day orientation for everyone (NEW applicants along with Re-instatements) to the program, bring FOOD and a drink. It's hard to concentrate if your stomach is growling and there is a HUGE line where you have to buy some meat (pizza/sandwich). CSN Nevada nurses student's association sells some stuff during the orientation, but I'm not sure if they have it every semester.

By the way, for those of you who think that CSN will be short of applicants, they obviously didn't tell you about re-instatements. If they have less new applicants, they just dip more into the re-instatement pool (you'll meet them along the way, if they chose to tell you).... Goodluck ya'll!

The re-instatement pool is the pool of students who for some reason had to withdraw. If you're a full-time student, you HAVE to pass both NURS 101 AND NURS 125b. People who can't pass both or either one have an option to withdraw by the due date. You can only be re-instated ONCE in the program. CSN nursing program won't tell you this until you ask them. By the way, that 75% pass grade on exams & class standing for each class, are not easy to get but they are doable.

so for the ones who are reinstated, do they get to pick when they want to go back? or only if there are room in the program.
Are there a certain amount of seats that they save just for those people? just wondering, thanks
