CSN RN Fall 2012

U.S.A. Nevada

Published

Hi Everyone!

I am new to the site and will be applying to CSN's RN program in March. I wanted to start a thread and see who will be applying with me and how things are coming along for everyone. :) I have all pre-reqs completed with a pre-req GPA of 3.58. I took the TEAS about a month ago and I passed, but wasn't thrilled with my score, particularly in science. I got an adjusted individual total score of 74.7%. Reading: 92.9%, Math 70%, Science 60.4%, and English & Language Usage: 76.7%. I barely passed the science portion and have signed up to take the TEAS one more time in February. With my current TEAS score, I have a total of 29 points for my application. I'm really hoping to get a better score and another point or two from the second TEAS!

Please let me know if you'll be applying in this cycle. I'd love to exchange advice and information and just connect with *hopefully* some future classmates! :)

I called the nursing dept. and they said that My CSN is incorrect and the class does start Thursday, July 5. The flier also stated that there is no class on Monday, July 11, but the 11th is a Wednesday. I've left a VM for the instructor just to make sure.

I spoke to the instructor today. The tool box runs Thursday, July 5 through Monday, July 23.

Ok guys... Here are some tips for first semester...TAKE TOOLBOX... It REALLY REALLY HELPS... The info u get during toolbox will NOT be taught by your professors, you will have to teach yourself. This is coming from someone who got a 720 on their math SATs and had a 4.0 before this semester :)GET A STUDY GROUP... Even if you have never used one before... You can thank me later...ONLINE RAGNONE STUDENTS: expect to teach yourself, pure and simple. Such is the essence of an online class. If you need help with concepts, utilize ------ or another IN STATE ON CAMPUS instructor... First semester is TOUGH but totally do-able! It was one of my most intense and stressful, but REWARDING experiences. Good luck to all of you!

Anyone have any info on the toolbox book? I've been trying to contact the bookstore but I can't seem to get anyone on the phone!

Don't stress about the book right now... Just pick it up befor your first day. It isn't really something you can study, it's mostly worksheets and step by step what ------- is gonna teach you

Does anyone know what you have to do for the "Proof of Criminal "History Background Check (Precheck)" as listed on the checklist of the packet? I don't remember hearing what to do for this at orientation and I was just accepted last week. Also, what would be the best additional books to buy that aren't required texts from anyones experience that's in the program?

Thanks!

I think when you do precheck, there is a confirmation page that pops up once you've paid and gone through the question showing that you completed it. You have to print that.

You will use your 101 books throughout all 4 semesters, so unless someone flunked they won't be able to sell. You can go online Craigslist and do a search. I am sure you will find them there. Good luck!
