Anyone here applying for fall? :)

Hi, tgibs87, I don't know what NSNA is, but you can volunteer in any hospital. Just look up the hospital that is close to you (or not) and call the human resources or volunteer department and they can tell you all necessary information. I started to volunteer about two months ago at Centennial Hills. I had to attend orientation, pass background check and a TB test.

The toolbox class is for any currently accepted nursing student and you take the 1.5 credits regardless of your standing, as long as you're accepted. If you have not been accepted I'm not sure that they will let you stay in the class. Just wait until the you get accepted :)

NSNA = National Student Nurses Organization. They will tell you all about it at orientation. I have been slacking about becoming active but next semester I am for sure!

Wow Soxley, you re moving right along! I just enrolled in some BSN pre reqs for Summer also. I just emailed the counselor for NSC for an updated required curriculum sheet. I don t see Human Development on mine.

NSNA is the National Student Nurses Association. There will be a presentation at orientation about it. We do all kinds of volunteer things. It is open to all students in pre nursing, ADN, LPN and CNA! Right now it is all nursing students, but we are trying to get the others involved! To get involved you just need to go to the first meeting and they will tell you the requirements!

I am just finishing my 2nd semester and I completely agree with christina731. I have some of the dosage calc books and the medical terminoligy flashcards. I never purchased a gate belt & was fine. I have a bp cuff and only used it in lab. Most of the facilities use disposable cuffs these days to prevent cross contamination (I wouldn't waste the $$$). Amazon prime is worth EVERY penny.

Sunshine daisy: what is NSNA? And how do you sign up for that? Also do you have to be a nursing student to be in NSNA? I would like to do some volunteer work but never heard of this group at csn. Thank u in advance :)

The SNSA is open to all students pursuing a nursing degree. You do NOT have to be accepted into the program to join. They allow for volunteer hours to show on your transcript, too. It is a great place to meet other students from all stages of the program. PM me and I will get you the info.

Workinghard, I'm so glad you said something!!! The development course is on the regular track sheet, and not on the bridge. For some reason, I thought I had to take that one too, but you're right....It's not required! Whew. One step closer to having all the pre-req's donezo!

OK folks...one week from today they'll be making the calls!! I'm so excited (and anxious and scared)!!!

Hey Soxley, I just emailed a counselor from NSC to give me a bridge curriculum and they changed some of the requirements, so double check if neccesary. I also noticed that many of the classes are not at my beloved CSN. Boo! It is such a huge price difference. Was the Human Development class you were going to take called Psy 201? 7 more days everyone!

Thanks Workinghard. I got the updated list from her on April 1, so I assume it's the correct one...she did tell me that they were changing the chem requirement, and my list doesn't reflect that change, but i think the rest is up to date.

As far as transferable classes, I asked her about each class specifically--Chem transfers (but when they change the requirement, you only need Chem 112 from NSC, or 2 classes from CSN, so I will take it from NSC to save time), but everything else has an equivalent (see note below about an exception). NUTR 223 is Biol 121 from CSN. PSY 210 is totally transferable. I wrote to her and clarified about NURS 310 and 337. 337 does not have an equivalent and although technically a pre-req, can be taken when accepted into the program. NURS 310 is considered part of the program (and is not a pre-req). Does that make sense? So for me, the only one that I plan to take from NSC (before I get into the bridge) will be chem (and if it fits into my sched, I'll squeeze 337 in there somewhere...). If you want to PM me, I'd happily share my email address so we can make sure we're looking at the same thing. :)

Oh, and yes, it was PSY 201. :)

I was just curious if you wouldn't mind e-mailing me a copy of the Bridge version of NSC Nursing program. I have one, but it was from a year ago, so I'm sure it is out-dated. I have almost all of my pre-reqs done for the bridge...I think. Let me know, thanks!!

Also, how is everyone doing as far as waiting for next Thursday to be here?!?

Soxley, you are so helpful! That will save me a couple pennies! I really appreciate the info. I' ll try to PM you. I hope I have enough activity to be able to do so. I will try to PM or email you, Clynne, so I can send you the bridge curriculum. As far as waiting until next Thursday, I am only doing so because I have to. We all have been working for years for this moment; sacrificing through all the pre reqs and memorization that the Biologies required. 6 more days!
