CSN RN Spring 2013

U.S.A. Nevada

Published

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and I was wondering if there are any fellow CSN RN Spring '13 hopefuls out there. I just turned in my application today and I would love to get to know some of my potential classmates through this forum :)

First semester is probably the most expensive. 2nd semester books were about $250 used for me, plus $130 for ATI. I paid $140 for 3rd semester books, also used, and $130 again for ATI. 4th semester (FT) will be the toughest time wise. Med surge 2 is condensed from 16 weeks into 10 weeks, and there is A TON of work. the next 16 weeks is precpetor, which you follow your preceptor during her full shift. I am sending my kids to Tn with their dad (we're still married, he got a better job there) after Christmas. A few of my friends are quitting work for 4th semester.

Yikes...I guess I'll be trying to work 2 jobs during the summers so I can save a bit more once things get really tough in the end :/

I don't know what is wrong with my FB. The group for 2012-2013 is showing up but not the one for our class :( Anyone know any other tricks?

Andi311 I sent you a message with the link :)

If anyone else has trouble finding it, just send me a message and I'll send the link. I think it's against the rules to post links to fb around here :)

I can't find it either.

Thanks!

SunshineDaisy do you have a set study schedule , and im sure it may be different for others but approximately how many hours do you study outside of lec lads n clinicals for the 2 classes you have ?:-)

per week, I'd say about 10 or so. I don't read the text much, just what I highlighted or marked during lecture. Bad, I know. I read supplemental books instead because they are condensed versions of the book usually! My faves are the Straight A's books and the Fort Dummies books. I also do the questions in the study guides as well. I'm passing, so it works for me!

As far as the FB group, if it's set to private it's hard to search for. You'll have to be added by someone who is in there already!

Super excited for tomorrow... see everyone there! :yes:

Yay! I'll probably get there around 7:30-7:45 because I'd like to get a good seat in the front. See everyone tomorrow! :up:

Ugh, I'll be there at 0645:bluecry1: Stop by the bake sale or Tshirt/sweatshirt sale and say hi! I'll probably be the only one not wearing a CSN shirt :o Such a bad VP I am! :p

And again, sorry if I yell at you! It's not personal, promise!
