    bcyogi replied to bcyogi's topic in General Nursing

  13. Full time nursing students at CSN

    bcyogi replied to hmck32's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yes, I did like the program. I became a NAP (nurse apprentice) during the program, and that made getting a job a bit easier. I haven't taken my boards yet, I think I will receive my ATT sometime this...

  14. Full time nursing students at CSN

    bcyogi replied to hmck32's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I didn't have financial aid, so I don't know how the part-time status would effect that. We only did one class per semester in the part time program (for most semesters), so the cost was about...

  15. Full time nursing students at CSN

    bcyogi replied to hmck32's topic in Nevada Nursing

    bcyogi replied to RegNurstobe2008's topic in Nevada Nursing

  19. NST Student Nurse Externs

    bcyogi replied to 911RMRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure if they are exactly the same thing, but in my state (Nevada), we have positions called Nurse Apprentice. From what you've described they sound very similar, and what is OK/not OK to do...

    bcyogi replied to ajaxgirl's topic in Nursing Career
