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! :)
Thanks for bringing it up christel. I hadn't heard anything about that, but if it's harder from the start then we won't know any different! We're all in this together now!!
I think posting about rumors is a bad idea. This affects everyone currently in the program and those going into it because it questions our credibility. Imagine if the hospitals or news media got wind of this "rumor" and how they will judge future graduates from this program.
Hello Everyone! I am excited that CSN, as a school, has so many nursing students on this site! I also applied for the FALL12 full time program. I got the call today that I am an alternate =( I was a lil bummed because I applied for the Dental Hygiene program last year, and got in but decline because I felt nursing was a better career choice for me. Are there any past alternates that got in? ------ told me, often the alternates get a spot but I want to know, how many alternates are there? Where do I fall on the list? And her answer was that they haven't put the list together yet. I will go pick up the information packet on the 4th. And hope for me info. Congrats to all who got in!
FINALLY, I was so busy at work all day today that I never got to post. I got my call around 1:30 this afternoon, accepted for full-time! :) I'm unsure of the exact amount of points I had...I calculated 29, but was not able to get an answer from the lady who gave my call. Congratulations to all who were accepted and good luck to alternates, there's still hope! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at orientation! See you guys on the 11th!!! :)
i didnt post rumors i dont think 3 people would bad mouth their own program... you might view it a little diff because you are already in the program...and its not a reflection of the program but the students...CSN is considered the best in Nevada from what i hear
apn11 I am an alternate too. ----- told me the same thing. I talked with her this morning about if and when and how many of us there are. She told me they are a week behind and could not answer those questions for me at this point. I hope we get in maybe she will know more Friday.
Yes, if you are an alternate, go! I know this spring semester they let in like 9 or 10 alternates! People always back out last minute, or find they can't pay or miss the orientation, something!

ooo cheaters ruin it for everyone. the program is already suppose to be intense, and hopefully those students were kicked out.
positive thought: we're all just starting out, so if our exams are harder then atleast we'll be better because of it? LOL?
