For my fundamentals class, the book had like 60 chapters and we did not go over some of them. It might also confuse you to start reading information that you won't be tested on soon. I would wait...

Unless they change something for you, the online 125 instructor writes all of the 125 exams, regardless of who you have. I took 125 in-class but I got ahold of the online students PowerPoints and...

You will not get the points for micro with a C- but it may not prevent you from getting in the program because the amount of points needed to get in varies per semester. I don't know if a C- will...

I felt the same way before my program began (Spring '13), It felt like the days were never-ending with my boring job. It was a good thing that I took 3 different trips out of state in the months...

Yes! I never went over A&P before the program started and I find myself referring to my old books and notes all the time! And the math is very helpful to review as well.

The ATI test at second orientation is a critical thinking test to see what level you are at now and I think you will take another one down the road to see if you improve. It is not like the TEAS and...

For my first orientation they went through a bunch of info about your classes, immunizations, drug testing, textbooks, toolbox and I'm sure more that I can't remember. You will also be able to pick...

I would say an interview is an interview whether the job is paid or not. That being said, I have not been on a interview in a number of years so I'm not sure if that has changed since.

I just finished my first semester clinicals for an ADN program and I was in LTC for the 1st 4 weeks then Sub-Acute for the remaining 6 weeks. Next semester will be med-surg at an acute hospital as...

I was able to register a few days after orientation. The nursing dept sends a list of accepted students to the registrar and they change your major in the system and then you will be able to...

The 3rd orientation date is actually a one-on-one meeting with your advisor where you turn in all of your paperwork. Depending on who your advisor is, they might possibly have different dates? Or it...

All of the info about dates and such will be in the paperwork you get when you pick up your acceptance letter. And then at your 1st orientation you will get a packet with even more paperwork. I...

I'm not sure if they will let you go before to pick it up. I would call the nursing dept to find out. Will you be gone that day or something?

I know of a few people that were chosen as alternates that are finishing up their first semester with me! I'm sure someone will decline their spot or not be able to be in school for some reason. So...

Ok so I changed the name of the facebook group to "CSN Nursing Students Rock". Hopefully you can find it if you would like to join, otherwise PM me for a link :wavey:

Congrats to everyone!! I'm glad that everyone is getting good news. Good luck to all of you on this new journey in life. I am the admin for a Facebook group called "CSN Nursing 2013-2014" and I...

Haha I just cracked open a bottle of wine tonight as well! Not that I'm celebrating anything other than being caught up on studying for the first time in like 2 months! :P I can't wait to see all of...

As far as learning contracts, you will get one if you show up unprepared or depending on what you're not prepared with they will deduct 3% from you overall lecture grade. I haven't had one so far...

The books do cost over $700 through the bookstore. I spent about another $300 on other non-required books (that I have hardly read). They do come with ebook access which I would not spend the money...

There is a bundle with like 11 books (all new-they don't sell used nursing 101 books there) that comes from the bookstore which costs over $700 but you probably won't use them all. I got a list at my...

Yes, I'm about to finish my 1st semester

I have that stethoscope and I love it! I have hearing problems and I have no problems with it. I got a hot pink one with my name engraved on the bell so (hopefully) it wont grow legs and walk away.

I hate to admit it, but i think I drank more during the time I was waiting on the call than I ever did :/ it's so freakin' stressful!!

If you don't get a call on Thursday, I would call them on Friday just in case. They could have dialed the wrong number or something! Waiting on the call was the longest week of my life! And they...

You will need have proof of everything before your advisor meeting which will be a week or so before school starts. The only exception is the drug test, which you will pay for before orientation and...
