    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in General Students

    You know, the weirdest thing? She's not on there! Every other professor in my program is on there, and she's not...A friend of mine checked last semester and saw some things said about here and...

  3. When the professor hates you WWYD (please help)

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in General Students

    Absolutely not. One girl had her digital recorder sitting in front of her and she screamed at her that there were to be absolutely no recordings of lecture. The recorder wasn't even on but she never...

  6. Did you hear about this at CSN??? RN program

    DesertRain replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I just wanted to say, I'm in 3rd semester at CSN and to be completely honest, these math tests are not a surprise. Everyone in the program is quite aware of these tests from day 1. They teach you the...

  7. appollo college

    DesertRain replied to jordiemom06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    CSN does not have a waiting list. I finished my pre-reqs and the following semester I started Nursing School. I did not have to wait, and neither did many of my classmates, it all depends on how you...

  8. CSN RN program

    DesertRain replied to i_wanna_be_a_nurse!'s topic in Nevada Nursing

    Just wanted to say, they have changed the points program since Spring of '07 or since Fall of '06 when 19 points would enable you to get in. I believe the change took place for applicants trying to...

  9. Adopt-a-Student Programs

    DesertRain posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Has anyone done it? Who qualifies and what do you need to qualify. What are the odds of being accepted into one of these programs. My CNA instructor is an RN in a Vegas Hospital as well and informed...

  10. Any colleges near Las Vegas with a waiting list?

    DesertRain replied to rainorshine978's topic in Nevada Nursing

    LOL, the people who suggested CSN as a community college must not go there! It's now an actual college it wasn't just a name change. It's a college simply because it is able to offer Bachelor's Degree...

    DesertRain posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So after reviewing my points for entry into the Fall '08 program I got pretty disappointed realizing I don't have as many points as I would have liked. I asked one of my CNA instructors what I should...

  13. Med Surg in Vegas?

    DesertRain replied to RiaRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I too would like to hear from an RN in Vegas who has more than 6 patients and what hospital that would be because I keep hearing about this gigantic pt-nurse ratio and have yet to see it or meet an RN...

  14. Nursing at University Medical Center

    DesertRain replied to hnp5's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am not an employee, but I am a student nurse doing clinicals at UMC and I honestly love it. As far as the nurses there, I think they are great, very professional. I was on ortho/trauma floor and...

  15. Lack Of Skills Training

    DesertRain replied to wonhaeng's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There are also RN's working on the floor who have still never performed a skill he or she did in lab on a patient. A newly graduated RN friend of mine told me that when we get out into the real world,...

  16. How is 4th semester at CSN

    DesertRain replied to RegNurstobe2008's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yes, but you are getting what you work for. While you will finish with a BSN, we will be ADN's and we may even have to repeat the rotations you're doing if we want to bridge one

  17. How is 4th semester at CSN

    DesertRain replied to RegNurstobe2008's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Do you pick your choice with the hospital or can you pick the same thing in 3 different hospitals so that you are guaranteed an area that interests you? Oh and what do you guys think is the most...

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

    DesertRain posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am just wondering if anyone is working as a CNA part time and going to school full-time? Especially if there is anyone in Nursing School and doing this. I would really like to get in the hospital...

    DesertRain posted a topic in General Students

  24. We Passed

    DesertRain replied to RegNurstobe2008's topic in Nevada Nursing
