  1. Are There Any Cna's Starting School

    DesertRain replied to MONI959702's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I started my CNA classes, the CNA forum was a tremendous help! My school used a textbook that is now discontinued but I am sure that it is quite similar to the one they are now using. But my...

  2. Are there any Part Time CNA's going to school FULL TIME?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When do you find time to study? Are you ever super tired that you can't

  3. Is anyone still waiting for Fall '07 selection?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Laura, Perhaps you have given me something to do to kill time like I asked....what a "bless"ing in disguise!

  4. Is anyone still waiting for Fall '07 selection?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you Laura! Hopefully I can join you with the class of '09! It's weird because there are people on here that although we don't go to the same school, let alone live in the same state, it feels...

  5. Not a CNA or EMT....can i still be a good nurse?

    DesertRain replied to Gannon1qb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a CNA and I think you can still be a good nurse without it. My mom is an excellent nurse and she had no healthcare experience prior. She didn't think I needed to take the CNA course. I know it...

  6. How to improve NLN score? FRUSTRATED

    DesertRain replied to marizires's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you gone through the sticky "NLN Results" above? It might help you out. There is a lot of info on there about other's experience with the NLN. Good luck to you and I hope you get the scores you...

  7. BIO 223 or 224 @ CCSN

    DesertRain replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Just an update: I ended up with an B+ (1% under an A-) with Aulner for 224. FYI, I was taking 17 credits last semester and honestly believe that even if I did the regular 12 full time credits I would...

  8. Anyone heard anything from CCSN for fall adn selection?

    DesertRain posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am waiting to hear from them, they always tell me second week in july..... that is light years away. Has anyone else heard

  9. Anyone heard anything from CCSN for fall adn selection?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Nevada Nursing

  10. CCSN Communication class

    DesertRain replied to CALICORE's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hi! A friend of mine was going to take a com class online at CCSN and she found out that you would have to either video tape your speeches in one class and another class required you to meet up for...

  11. I am Sooooo upset right now..

    DesertRain replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know they tell us not to get attached, but sometimes we have to remember that we are simply human and there is nothing we can do about it. I'm so sorry you feel this way right now. I can totally...

  12. What do I need to do?

    DesertRain replied to JaqiO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You definitely want to check with your school on what your title will be when you complete your AA. Most CC's in the U.S. will qualify you as an RN should you pass your NCLEX and your state boards for...

  13. UnPatiently Waiting on Fall 07 decisions

    DesertRain replied to BouBou's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is also true of what I heard from my school as well. The silly part is, when you get the letter of acceptance, you have to respond by a certain date or they fill your spot, so if the mail got...

  14. UnPatiently Waiting on Fall 07 decisions

    DesertRain replied to BouBou's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't begun to do this although my time is cutting close. The nursing office said we wouldn't find out for Fall until the second week of July, however, some of my other fellow classmates who have...

  15. Will this be too hard??

    DesertRain replied to seek1kees's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it! I am a single mommy to 2 kids (8,3) and took a CNA course, A&P II, communications and medical terminology and managed a 3.7 GPA for the semester. It is A LOT OF WORK---but, what I...

  16. Nevada Lowest Paying Nurses?????

    DesertRain replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Nakia, how many hospitals did you apply at and did you do research before deciding to work for UMC. I heard UMC is a great place to work and I was wondering how hard is it to get

  17. My first day was great!

    DesertRain replied to DebsNTX's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awe your post made me cry too! That's so awesome. It helps so much to have someone very supportive in your life, especially when things are down and they are there to let you know that they believe in...

  18. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

  19. Volunteer Work. Is it okay to say....

    DesertRain posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    On an interview for a volunteer position, is it okay to say..... that you would like to potentially work at a certain place later on as an RN when you are done school? Is this a positive thing from...

  20. Mystiqx's phone finially rang

    DesertRain replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh my goodness! That's incredible! I knew it! YOU GO GIRL! Anytime I have ever had an interview that felt like I was simply "chatting" with someone I knew and comfortably, it was always an indication...

  22. Bachelor Degree for nursing is a must???

    DesertRain replied to eyesonme's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Holy Crap! To have an RN be downgraded or not be able to be renewed without a BSN! That can't possibly fly unless somehow this nation is no longer in a nursing shortage and I missed the nationwide...

  23. Class of '09

    DesertRain replied to Ekklesia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! Being able to get those BSN classes out of the way is definitely and indication of your wait-listing being a blessing in disguise. I sometimes secretly hope I don't get in for fall so...

  24. Baby Steps to a goal of becoming a Nurse Midwife?

    DesertRain posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Get it "baby steps"? LOL...sorry I had to throw a pun in. I know for a fact that I would one day like to be a Nurse Midwife. I have always been interested in the field and I am a student in...
