  1. Nevada State College

    NVhike posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    For anyone who's graduated from NSC or is currently a nursing student (accelerated/regular-track): ANY input helps!!! I've been hearing a lot of bad things about NSC since late 2006, I also know a...

  2. Nevada State College

    NVhike replied to meg_foster0618's topic in Nevada Nursing

    gtterbug; sounds reasonable enough. do you know if unlv has it the same way? maybe you know someone who has an idea. i hear they're

  3. UNLV, budget issues, nursing schools

    NVhike replied to vegas2009's topic in Nevada Nursing

    People from out of state just come here to go to school then, they usually go back to their states. But it is a bad deal for locals who want to stay. Even before the crisis, most of nv graduates...

  4. UNLV, budget issues, nursing schools

    NVhike replied to vegas2009's topic in Nevada Nursing

    UNLV gets most of the money anyway, maybe it's time they gave back to the state. The nursing program is not immune, no one is. I hope things get better, even if people get their RN degree here, theyd...

  5. Nevada State College

    NVhike replied to meg_foster0618's topic in Nevada Nursing

    This area of Nevada is odd, theres only a few choices of nursing schools and less applicants are applying now. But, these schools are continually acting like theyre doing us a favor. In reality, they...

  6. Which school is better for nursing???

    NVhike replied to pilot833's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I wish I applied for UNLV instead. CSN is great, but with the work that the nursing program demands, I would've been better off with UNLV! It's true, you work just as hard or in some cases, even...

  7. So excited to begin program! (CSN Spring '10)

    NVhike replied to SockMonkey.ecb's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I remember the first time I saw the CSN syllabus last year, I suddenly got a headache from it! It's overwhelming! It doesn't matter what school you go to. It's just a question on how much money...

  8. My personal ADN vs BSN debate in Las Vegas

    NVhike replied to moneyline702's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I agree CSN and UNLV are good schools. They SHOULD be, both their nursing programs have been around for more or less 30 years! They should've perfected their systems and they have. NSC's nursing...

  11. If this doesn't make you raging angry...A must-read for Students and Potential Studen

    NVhike replied to CherryBlonde's topic in General Students

    this article was written on jan 2008. it's more of a bush administration problem, but i think it was also a clinton administration problem. in any case, it is a major problem now, with the economy and...

  12. So Many Students! Will Shortage Now End?

    NVhike replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Students

    as a nursing student myself, everyone who has posted on this thread should read the threads on nursing news from actual practicing, experienced, laid-off and recent rn graduates for months/year and...

  13. RN Aesthetician - Anyone have any input?

    NVhike replied to Vegas New Grad's topic in Nevada Nursing

    i've heard of a few nurses in the past who do this kind of work part-time but they all have been nurses for a while though. i didn't know you can do it as a new grad. hope all goes well for you with...

  15. TMCC Nursing - Crying and frustrated

    NVhike replied to Hello_Nurse_2B's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I think everyone who goes to nursing state schools feels like you do. State schools have been around much longer, they have at least 20-25+ years headstart compared to these "new" schools (except for...

  16. RN Aesthetician - Anyone have any input?

    NVhike replied to Vegas New Grad's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'd take it, sounds like a good deal. Besides, I hear it's not that easy anymore to get hired in our area as a new grad nowadays, take a

    NVhike replied to joianett's topic in Nevada Nursing

    if only that were true. i have nothing against any of the instructors so far, but students talk all the time. you went to csn years ago, it is a completely different ball game. for one thing, they...

  20. aussie andy and others how's school?

    NVhike replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    boy, i tell ya, i've never worked so hard for a class!. . . nurs 101 feels like it's equal to 3 classes. the first 4-7 weeks were brutal! overwhelming is the right word. especially the 6th week, it...

    NVhike replied to joianett's topic in Nevada Nursing

    sorry i can't tell you that. since, i didn't have this prior information myself before i started the program. i don't think they're "bad" instructors per say, they just have a different way of doing...

  22. CSN RN Point system-What is the real wait time?

    NVhike replied to Movin2Cali's topic in Nevada Nursing

    the re-instatement pool is the pool of students who for some reason had to withdraw. if you're a full-time student, you have to pass both nurs 101 and nurs 125b. people who can't pass both or either...

  24. CSN RN Point system-What is the real wait time?

    NVhike replied to Movin2Cali's topic in Nevada Nursing

    i got accepted for spring 2009, the wait time is not that long. i don't remember exactly when i turned in my application, but if you get accepted, they personally call you. i'd say about 2 months...

  25. moving to las vegas from seattle!!!

    NVhike replied to ngindagirl's topic in Nevada Nursing

    try postponing your plan for several months or better yet probably next year, maybe things will perk up next year. hospital websites aren't really a good reliable source for employment at the moment....
