CSN Fall 2010

U.S.A. Nevada

Published

I applied for Spring 2010 and was not accepted. My score was 24 but they said they only accepted two students with a score of 24 by lottery and there were 10 applicants with 24 so i just was not one of the lucky ones. ANyways, I finished my microbiology so now my score is 29. I just dropped off my application. Anyone else applying to Fall 2010 and what score/points do you have on the application? Thanks!

Specializes in ER.

I'm not exactly sure. I want to say it's an "across the board" rule but , again, not sure. I would call the Office of the Registrar (number listed on my other post). They will let you know for sure :confused:

My english, psych. and sociology were over 15 yrs. old and they took them fine. It was just the science that has to be within the 7 yr. range. Hope that helps.:)

Moving from NM. Military PCS. I will have, hopefully, 4 yrs to get *something* done with my education in LV. I have a few options I am pursuing. I have gotten to the point where there are a few different programs that I have decided on that would be OK for me to pursue in healthcare. This is instead of locking myself into only one choice; that way if one does not work, I can go to an alternate plan instead of fumbling and waiting too long. I am trying to set myself set up properly with a variety of current prerequisite courses.

At CSN you can apply to only one limited entry program at a time though, right? One of the options on my list is part-time ADN. I am hoping to spend the 2010-11 Fall/Spring terms racking up whatever pre-reqs I need for my various options. I'm already retaking A&P but it looks like I need to go back and retake Bio 189 so I can re-take Bio 251.

I think I somehow need to take (or transfer the equivalent): Bio 189, 251, Chem 241 and 242, and the Nevada Constitution requirement, and there are a few that would help but are not required. I think, I hope, my biggest problems are the Bio classes. If I can get Chem 241 for this term, anything else is gravy. I know it will probably be impossible to get any Bio classes as a new student. I may try to do the constitution requirement. I am sure registration will be a tiny bit easier once I am a returning student.

CSN appears to have it set up so you have to pass 189 before the semester ends to register for 251 so I assume you have to wait one term between the two. I am going to have to see if there is any alternative to that lost semester. Right now I don't have the time or logistical ability to cram in a Bio 189 equivalent before we are packed up and moving.

As soon as we get there, my clock is ticking. I am also waiting to see how much travel will be involved with my husband's job to get a better idea of what is feasible. I have 4 kids and I know my limits.

I am hoping once we get there and I start classes and I am physically on campus I can get a much better feel for the way things work.

Which reminds me I have to figure out childcare for my 3 yr old. The Charleston childcare has a one yr wait, right?

OK enough babbling! I have to do AP2 homework now before the kids get home from school.

Oh I guess I have one more question - the part time ADN program has the night classes and Saturday clinicals only right? or does it vary?

Hi Everyone,

I used to keep up with posts on this site, that was before starting the ADN program at CSN! I will try to keep you all up to date with information I know of for sure between now and when you hear about acceptance into Fall 2010. First I would like to introduce myself, my name is Robert Bacon and I am currently in 2nd semester full time and I am the President of the CSN Student Nurses' Association as well as the Nevada Student Nurses' Association. With that said, if you would like to join the SNA before you start your program we would LOVE to see you at our meetings. I will be posting a flyer sometime this week or next about how to get more information on the SNA around the West Charleston Campus. Joining the SNA not only offers you a chance to talk to students who are already in the program, but you will meet some staff, and to make it all that much better you can earn extra credit towards your nursing classes for participation.

Ok enough of that rant for now. Let me see if I can answer some questions. mmt4 - yes you are correct about only being allowed to apply to 1 limited entry program at a time. They are all seperate departments and like to keep it as simple as possible so there is no confusion among the health science departments. Also, if you are enrolled in 189, even in the same semester, you can enroll in the class you need to take that requires 189 as a pre-req. Unless they changed that, which I don't think they did, you can say enroll in 189 for Fall 2010 and then as soon as you are confirmed on web registration you can sign up to take 251 the same semester. I know that if you get into the ADN program you can take 251 as late as 2nd semester or at the same time you take 115 (Med Surg I) if you are part time. And yes, the part time classes are held during the evenings and weekends.

Ok well I hope I helped out a little bit at least. I will be posting more in the near future because I want to keep everyone informed as to when the acceptance letters for Fall 2010 are going out and what to expect at orientation. If you do get in for Fall 2010, mark my words now, take what time you have from now till August 28th to relax your brain as much as possible. I don't care how smart you are, how smart you think you are, whatever experience you have, had, will have, YOU are going to be SUPER BUSY the first semester. If you aren't super busy first semester, well you probably won't make it through the semester. If you haven't heard this before, listen closely...NURSING SCHOOL IS NOT EASY!!!! I came into this with more years experience than I would like to admit and though the clinical aspect is not that difficult, the shear VOLUME of work, deadlines, papers, care plans/concept maps, drug cards, ok I will stop there so you don't change your mind but you get my point.

GOOD LUCK and I hope to see one or ALL of you soon. If you want more information about the Student Nurses' Association please send me a message anytime.

Robert Bacon, President NV & CSN SNA
