I'm a NSC student and for some reason I always say Nevada State Henderson. LOL I agree, I'm not in the program, but if you look at the reqs for the program, they are the same (just about) The school is run like UNR.

Hi, it's hard to say who has the BEST program, they are all good. UNLV has a lower pass rate but I don't know how many ppl drop, etc. CCSN has one of the best reps with students. It's pass rate is higher it's drop rate is high too! Nevada State Henderson is new, they haven't sent out a grad class yet but if you want an idea of their program look at UNR. NSH is the umbrella school of UNR...all their classes are the same. Good luck!

Hi there! I attend CCSN and Nevada State Henderson. I've decided not to go into the RN program but I can tell you when I was working towards it, everything was very easy to do. I recieved consistant information and the school was VERY helpful. I really like the school and thought the teachers where awesome! I wish I could tell you more about the program.

sorry, but don't wear the sport guards everynight. they are not made for that and can cause more problems. I have a night guard that's made from a very hard plastic, it's made to fit my bite and is very thin and comfortable. I'm a MAJOR grinder...always have been. I'm a dental assistant and the dds I use to work for was shocked at how I ground down this NG. He still hasn't seen anyone grind like me...lol

One thing everyone needs to remember is just because you have breast implants dosn't mean you have big ol jerry springer stripper boobs. A lot of women who have them come from every aspect of life. Some have larger more "fake" looking boobs and others have more realistic. I bet you know someone who has them and you can't even tell. And just like very large women, small breasts can cause emotional scars. I had a friend who's uncle use to ask her if she was a boy (she had very short hair) and he would also tease her and ask when she was going to hit puberty (at 20) There is one part on every ones body that they are unhappy with and I can almost be that everyone would do something about it if they where given the chance. I had the chance and I'm very happy. This wasn't a gateway for me, I don't want to run out and get them bigger or get lipo or a nose job, I'm happy and my clothes fit.

When you are as flat as a board and you go to try on everthing from bathing suits to fancy dresses and even regular shirts you realize these clothes aren't made for you. Bras had to be so padded to even fit into some clothes they where uncomfortable. Random remarks made to you about being flat as a board etc. It gets old real fast.

VERY well said!!! I agree 5000 was well worth it!

Mitchsmom...I think it depends on how big the person gets their boobs. I hardly look big in the midsection. Besides, you could say that for anyone who is large chested with out fake boobs.

I have them. I was flat as a board...really flat. I did under the muscle. I did it for self esteem reasons but I first made sure it was the only self esteem issue I was having. They aren't too big or small, I'm very happy and no more self esteem issues. I guess I would say that now I feel like a woman and look like a woman. It's all up to you. Some ppl told me to wait until I have kids but even my mom is still flat as a board so I took the chance. Good luck in what you decide.

And your doing the same to a lot of ppl here. How would you like it if I found out something about you and then in turned called you low class or trash? I'm suprised you are even being allowed to sit here on the BB and call ppl names, names that are obviously ment to hurt.

Thank so much everyone! I'm going to do the "big drop" today so it'll be offical. I also found out I can salvage this semester, there are 3 classes I can take that will count towards the SLP program. I also found out this program is under the umbrella of University of Nevada Reno so they pretty much expect the students at Nevada State to transfer up there for their Masters in SLP and Audiology. There are also 3 programs back in Philly...but if I had to choose between in state and out of state tuition...well, it's pretty clear to me. I'm a little nervous but looking forward to this transition. It was back in 96 that I shadowed the SLP and I'm so happy that I get to do it now. I'm not too far behind and all of my classes transfered easily...actually, the advisor kept asking me if I wanted to do elementry education because I had just about every thing I would need...we need teachers here just as bad as nurses...but I declined..can't imagine myself with a ton of little kids running around!! :)

I agree with you for the most part. I still think it's funny that someone would be so worried. Ppl are going to question everything you do in life and if it starts with grades then deal with it. Oh, and BTW, just because some ppl state that grades are not something that they would kill themseleves over dosn't mean they don't take things seriously and they are not always the ppl barely makining it. Man, ppl, do you realized how elitist it sounds to say of I'm an A student and I'm so sick of hearing my prof say C's make the better nurse. I thought we already agreed that nursing school was a crock sometimes. And for the last time...stop assuming because a person say's they don't really care about grades that it makes them any lesser of a person, or good student for that matter.

thank you all! Hellllonurse...I first learned about SLP as a CNA on a floor with majority of stroke pts...it was so interesting to me.

I have always wanted to become a nurse, and I still do. However, the issues surronding nursing are just enough to make me not want to waste my money...right now.... It's not the vents I hear here, it's just the reality of the field, the things I don't know if I can deal with. Today I had a meeting with the head of the Speech and Language Pathology program at the local college...this is something I always wanted to do but it was never available to me until now. So here I am at a cross road and I'm taking the SLP road. I think for my personal tastes this would suit me best. It has been a hard few months, I've been faced with a big choice. I think I have researched this path well and I suddenly feel like the weight of the world has been lifted from me. I am excited to start the program but a little sad that I am giving up (well, not giving up, just moving on) from my dream. But, dreams are one thing and reality is another. This isn't to say that SLP is the perfect job and I may not like it, but in the next year and half I will have my BA, If I decide I don't want to go on to my MA then I can always do an accelerated BSN program. I'm young, 27 and I am blessed with a future husband that fully understands and supports this choice I've made. No one ever said I have to know now what I want to do for the rest of my life! So I thank you all for the support and love that you give, and for the honesty and reality that you can get no where else :chuckle Thanks Iliel
