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 decided not to take her but now, she's gone? Can they ha...

Hi all, I am sitting here typing in tears and I need advice on a situation. This is a long one, and I apologize. Okay, I'm in third semester NS and my OB instructor hates me (okay, I know that's an opinionated statement but I am emotional about this ...

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 specified this before. However, the irony is that t...

Hey, thank you guys for such supporting words. Honestly after reading your responses, I do feel a whole lot better. I guess I will have to make some allies in case I sneeze in class and get kicked out. It's like what was mentioned, the DON will proba...

Eek wow, sorry to hear that Dee. I had to go through a similar problem when I went for my CNA license a few years ago. I should probably go do that now....as "May" is my graduating date.... Thanks for the heads up! BTW how much are they charging thes...

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 math that you need to know from first semester in ...

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 did in your pre-reqs. But that's just FYI. And in ...

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 get in for Spring '08. I started Fall '07 and we wer...

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 us that pretty much nobody gets turned down for thi...

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 programs, community college's can't do that. Just...

There are rumors circulating that my class has one of the highest turnover rates ever at my school. I don't know exactly how many but this is my first semester and we did lose a huge chunk. They say that less than 50% will finish--this is a crazy amo...

Thanks KizzyKat! You've always been so supportive of us students. I'm getting close to the end of my second semester. I'm so ready for it to be over, I can't wait for the summer. I just keep reminding myself that this time next year, I will be getti...

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 do if I have to wait a semester to get into the pr...

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 that is dealing with it. I'm not an RN yet but wi...

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 found it fascinating compared to others so I think as...

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, it's always okay to ask. I myself have gotten use...

You know in the pre-nursing section of these fboards, I remember there being lots of information for TEAS and NLN--the people there had a lot of info that was helpful to me. Or you can go to the search section on your top right hand corner and type T...

I'm at CSN and they accept 134 students, I believe after the first semester we were down to almost half of that. I think our class is getting used to the boot camp like atmosphere. I know that CSN has a really high NCLEX pass rate that they are too p...

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 day.

I know how you feel but I have to share something with you. I too felt this way. I am second semester nursing student. When I was doing my prereqs I wondered what all that crap I was studying had to do with me being a nurse. Now that I am near the en...

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 common choice that CSN students pick?

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 and I am a CNA but I am afraid it will affect my stu...

Hey everyone! Good to hear everyone is doing well. I feel like I'm just one beat off this semester, I think I really just need to get organized. I already can't wait for summer vacation! I have to take my IV calculation test tomorrow and I'm kinda wo...

My school uniform is requiring us to wear "uniform" pants...no further explanation other than "no scrub pants, no drawstrings"..... My question? What is the difference? As a CNA student I had Dickies pants that were elasticized waistband...these were...

If it makes any of you feel better, our instructors do not throw out questions just because the material wasn't covered or because the majority of students missed it. I learned this the hard way. At first I would focus on what was covered in lecture ...
