No that's not how it works. Say in 2nd semester which is mental health and med surg for full time students. If you fail med surg then you come back in the spring and take mental health and med surg...

No you can't pick your advisor, your advisor will be listed on your packet that they give you after you've been accepted. and that's right, there is no changing your option # after it's been picked...

I'm currently in second semester of the program. If you fail a class you can have one reinstatement into that semester to try at passing again. If you fail a second time then you would have to start...

It's not an extra class. Just gives 6 full time students (picked randomly) the opportunity to take mental health over the summer with part time students so that the workload for fall semester is much...
AussieAndy replied to AussieAndy's topic in Nevada Nursing
Yeah I decided to do it. So many people that wished they had been picked made me realize that it's an advantage for me and I should take any opportunity given to me that could make getting through...

Regarding first semester which I'm currently in. Yes it is hard, not so much the content but because the amount of it. There is sooo much work on a weekly basis to keep up on, which often means you...
AussieAndy replied to joianett's topic in Nevada Nursing
That's great you got in on your grades. I guess I was the opposite and had good grades and a not so good grade on the NLN (now TEAS) because I didn't get much time to prepare. But yes good point in...
AussieAndy replied to joianett's topic in Nevada Nursing
Yes I am going to CSN. I assume you have to complete all your pre-requisites still? If so, while it may sound tempting to take on a high work load and get the classes completed as fast as...

The extra credit thing was discussed today in class. So yeah its to help your GPA and also to help in case you missed a lab or clinical and lost 3% or you missed completing one of the assignments and...
AussieAndy replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Nevada Nursing
There is extra credit opportunities for pharm, 101 lecture and clinical (which counts towards 101) but none of it counts unless you have an average of 75% on all of your exams which means you would be...

Yup school is keeping me verrrrry busy! so very much lacking in the sleep department, especially this week. This week had 3 exams including my drug calculation exam which i passed woohoo. I had my...
AussieAndy replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in Nevada Nursing
I find that hard to believe. I'm a first semester CSN student and when I applied I had A's and B's in my pre-reqs and one class not completed and I was accepted. So at this point there is not a...

Thanks for the vote of confidence! Hopefully we can find a routine quickly so we're not all freaking out. Thanks for the tips re syllabus. Yeah I agree, the ATI test seems pretty pointless. I also...
AussieAndy replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Nevada Nursing
Hasn't started yet. We still got two weeks to go. Starts on the 20th. Today we all had to get together to take our ATI critical thinking tests that we take again in 4th semester to compare and see...
AussieAndy replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada Nursing
No idea about the ATI test either...I'm concerned because ATI is the company that organizes the TEAS test that CSN now requires you to take to get into the program. I really hope it's not the TEAS...
