  1. Renown Hospital New Grad Question

    smallnurse10 replied to bbyjaden's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I was told by the nurse recruiter that they are hiring candidates with ties to the area. If you have never lived in Reno or don't have family there it might be difficult for

  2. RNs Relocating to Las Vegas

    smallnurse10 replied to team_Rnurses's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I definitely agree with Anisettes on every point. You can't tell that LV is miserable from a weekend visit. It takes a few months for it to sink in. The crime is insane. I lived in a very nice...

  3. RNs Relocating to Las Vegas

    smallnurse10 replied to team_Rnurses's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I don't know why you want to relocate to Las Vegas but I would suggest you find another place. I just moved after living in the area for three years and it is a horrible place, especially if you have...

  4. new grad wage/opportunities in Las Vegas

    smallnurse10 replied to RN.after.your.HEART's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Make sure you have a job before you move here. It is extremely difficult to land a job here right now. There are eight nursing schools here pumping out new grads every few months so lots of...

  5. Online Anatomy and Physiology Class

    smallnurse10 replied to serenityangel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    For 189 I am not sure what the equivalent is. It would be best to ask the admissions office at the school you plan to attend to see what they say. I took this class previously in my college career...

  6. I have damn had it with nevada

    smallnurse10 replied to moneyline702's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I understand you are upset, but there are just too many applicants. Go to CSN and be done with it. It is much much cheaper than Touro and you won't have to move. You can bridge when you are...

  7. Online Anatomy and Physiology Class

    smallnurse10 replied to serenityangel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Well that is new information, but here in southern Nevada they don't care. As long as the courses come from an accredited school you will be

  8. Online Anatomy and Physiology Class

    smallnurse10 replied to serenityangel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I applied to UNR and had my transcripts reviewed and they accepted my science classes. Perhaps they have changed this since 2009. Rio is not an "online" school anyway. They just happen to have...

  9. What to choose for preceptorship?

    smallnurse10 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am graduating in the fall and am in the process of choosing an area for my preceptorship. I like L&D and was hoping to do that, but no one in my area is hiring for specialty areas. I would be...

  10. What to choose for preceptorship?

    smallnurse10 replied to smallnurse10's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for the replies. Unfortunately, I do have to put in my preceptorship request before the summer so that spots can be arranged for the fall. We take the summer off. I live in Las Vegas...

  11. Nursing prerequisite courses

    smallnurse10 replied to jessica03's topic in General Nursing

    Check with the school first and if that fails try Rio Salado College. It is online and they offer micro year

  12. Online Anatomy and Physiology Class

    smallnurse10 replied to serenityangel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I took all of my science online at Rio and it was accepted by CSN. It would have been accepted by UNLV if I had decided to go so NSC will probably accept it also. I don't think it is the online...

  13. How did you afford to go to nursing school? (nursing ed. loan) I feel so overwhelmed.

    smallnurse10 replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Certainly. They use a point system for admissions. The past few semesters a score of 26 or better has been accepted. You can apply for spring 2011 if you can get your pre-reqs complete before...

  14. How did you afford to go to nursing school? (nursing ed. loan) I feel so overwhelmed.

    smallnurse10 replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the educational crisis because in Nevada we are also suffering. I too have a previous degree and I had no problems getting into the community college here to attend. It is not an...

  15. How did you afford to go to nursing school? (nursing ed. loan) I feel so overwhelmed.

    smallnurse10 replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Are you from NV? Just wondering based on your name. I live in LV and attend CSN. $50,000 is really alot for tuition and unfortunately not all of it will be covered by federal loans. If you are an...

  16. How to get accepted into nursing school

    smallnurse10 replied to twinboys's topic in General Students

    This isn't medical school so try not to stress over it. Your GPA is good so just be honest in your essay and you will be

  17. <Information about Touro Nevada>

    smallnurse10 replied to femflores1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I think someone already answered and stated that withdrawals do count for CSN and UNLV. I looked for three minutes and found the information on their websites stating this. The links are included...

  18. Kaplan College New LPN program

    smallnurse10 replied to 2ndCareerLV's topic in School, College Programs

    You would get into the LPN program at CSN with your credentials. If you are planning to become an RN then you should just go for that. 25K to become an LPN is insane. Especially for a school that...

  19. Nevada State College RN to BSN wants two years of math!

    smallnurse10 replied to RocknRollYogaRn's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I believe that UNR's program is online as well. You might want to check into that. Did you take the placement test for math at NSC? I don't think they can keep you from taking the course if you...

  20. Is it possible to successful in nursing school.....

    smallnurse10 replied to lala2287's topic in General Students

    My GPA when I was admitted was 2.7. I am now in the program and doing very well. My current GPA is 3.5. Nursing school is not difficult it is just time consuming. If you write down what you need...

  21. How to mange time between nursing classes and gen ed class

    smallnurse10 replied to Brightstar's topic in General Students

    I want to give you some words of encouragement. Nursing school is time consuming (note I did not say difficult) but it is possible to take and do well in other courses. Last semester I attended two...

  22. Las Vegas job outlook?

    smallnurse10 replied to knightsofni's topic in Nevada Nursing

    No it isn't getting better. Sorry but I don't have positive news for

  23. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    smallnurse10 replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I like nursing but I don't think that nurses are paid especially well. It is okay but nothing spectacular. You might be able to make a $100K in the Bay area but there isn't much promotion potential...

  24. Did I ruin my chances of getting into Nursing School?

    smallnurse10 replied to ngillilan1's topic in General Nursing

    It really just depends on how competitive your school is. I got accepted into the nursing program with straight C's in my pre-req science courses and my gpa was 2.9. I had a lot of hardship while...

  25. CSN: LPN to RN Bridge Program

    smallnurse10 replied to Matt12345's topic in Nevada Nursing

    If it states you need to be a licensed nurse in Nevada then you will have to transfer your license to Nevada and pay the fees to become licensed here. You can take the pre-reqs with the program if...
