CSN RN program questions

U.S.A. Nevada

Published

Hello all :)

I am currently attending CSN and finishing up pre reqs for the RN program. This spring I am enrolled in BIOL 224, BIOL 251 and am taking ENG 102 and will be re taking PSY 101 in hope of an A this time around because I am getting a little intimidated by all this talk of having to have at least 28 points to be guarenteed a stop in the program. My husband is in the military so we are on limited time so I am trying to hurry and get everything done before the AF decides to tell us we have to move...my husband is on the thunderbirds too and have a 3 1/2 year old to look after while he is on all his trips...needless to say I have my hands full lol...any of you who have attended CSN know how hard BIOL 189 is to get into...I ended up with a C in it...since its a blood bath just about to get into it...I thought about retaking my psy 101 and math 100b to get A's(I eaned b in both) to boost the GPA up...can anyone tell me more about the program...I want to do the full time program and am shooting to get into Spring 2013... how many points is a guarenteed in?? is it really as competitive as they make it sound?? I have had people telling me unless you have a 4.0 you wont get in...please any input is great :)

duh, my bad!

Anywhoo, the private schools are definitely appealing because you don't have to jump through as many hoops. They are way more expensive though. Also, if you decide to go on and earn your BSN and MSN, some of the credits may not transfer. Make sure you ask the school recruiter specifically about this if it's something that interests you.

kaplan and carrington are not the same school. carrington was called apollo and they are at the end of the teach-out of their las vegas adn program.

it is worth noting that even-though carrington has a new name they are still owned by the same corporation (devry university). they changed their name to reflect a new image they are trying to create. so far the changes seem to be paying off. their adn programs across the country have see exceptionally better nclex pass rates.

kaplan was just approved for their adn program. they have not graduated any rn's yet. their lpn program is relatively new and has done exceptionally well gaining full board approval in about a year.

Can anyone inform me about the rn program at csn or tell me about their experiences? Im currently an MA, I graduated from Pima medical but I want to become an RN. Is csn a good school? ?

Hi! I wanted to update that I graduated in December of 2014. I loved the program, it was cheap, legitimate and most instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful. I would go again if I had to go back in time.

Oh btw I passed NCLEX first try with Kaplan online review to prepare.
