  1. What made you go into nursing?

    Cupcake89121 replied to stargazer88's topic in General Students

    That is so great dbabklyn! You are right on with everything you said. Oh, and my husband is trilingual too! You guys are too cool and I am super jealous of your awesome language

  2. I don't get it

    Cupcake89121 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    To the original poster -- that guy is probably just jealous that you have the opportunity to enter a BSN program. Maybe he couldn't make the cut, maybe he can't afford it, maybe it's too much of a...

  3. Question re: moving, NCLEX, license, etc.

    Cupcake89121 posted a topic in General Students

    My husband might accept a job he was offered in a different city so we might be moving soon. I still have to finish my last semester in the fall, however. Would it just be easier to take the NCLEX in...

  4. What made you go into nursing?

    Cupcake89121 replied to stargazer88's topic in General Students

    I worked in customer service for many years, most recently for the largest online retailer of shoes. I got sick of listening to people call to complain about minutiae. I wanted to do something that...

  5. Struggling new student, Advice?

    Cupcake89121 replied to Pete77's topic in General Students

    Stop stressing yourself out and learn how to accept that an 80% is GREAT! (good job!) and a perfectly acceptable score. It's your first test in nursing school! Don't be so hard on yourself. When you...

  6. Nursing Programs: Public vs Private Universities, does it really matter?

    Cupcake89121 replied to gizzel84's topic in General Students

    I think it just depends on the schools in your area. All of the private schools where I live (Las Vegas) are about $50k for 18 months and super shady. The public institutions, however; are home to the...

  8. My school is notorious

    Cupcake89121 replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is tough. Not only are you learning new material, but you are learning a new way to *think* 100 and 200 level gen Ed classes are so easy. I had a 3.8 before I started nursing classes...

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

    Cupcake89121 replied to RocknRollYogaRn's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I took 124 at CSN so I can't comment but I did take the req'd Stat course at NSC and it was very easy. I don't know if it was my teacher or what but I didn't open the book once. I got an A and I am...

  10. Is associates in nursing useless now?

    Cupcake89121 replied to napahills's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I like NSC and will enter their RN-BSN program after I graduate and get my license (end of this year...hopefully!) but I think you're reading those NCLEX pass rates incorrectly. NSC year-to-date NCLEX...

    Cupcake89121 replied to ShaynaSmart's topic in General Students

    Hello Shayna! I graduate from my ADN program in December and will enroll in the local RN-BSN program after I pass NCLEX. I have seen some hospitals in my area that offer tuition reimbursement, but I'm...

  12. Failing Med-Surg, Should I withdraw?

    Cupcake89121 replied to Hana_617's topic in General Students

    I was failing MedSurg for most of the previous semester (75% avg. required). I had to get an 80% on my final to pass. I got an 88%. It was a very scary moment for me, but I was determined. Don't give...

  13. CSN Spring 2011 RN Program

    Cupcake89121 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Good Afternoon All! I thought it was about time to begin a thread for those applying for entry into the Spring 2011 RN Program at CSN. My big question is: Will you be applying to the full-time or...

  14. Whole class failed first test....now its a TAKE HOME!

    Cupcake89121 replied to Dowdy90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Instinctively for me: 1. d If your patient can't breathe then they might die and then you won't have a patient anymore. Make sure the patient is breathing comfortably and THEN teaching would be...

  16. CSN Bio 189! How do I get in!

    Cupcake89121 replied to Mjfraser's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I was referring to the RN program, not Bio 189. The poster before me mentioned that her sister had to apply to the program multiple times before being

  17. CSN Bio 189! How do I get in!

    Cupcake89121 replied to Mjfraser's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I don't know if that's typical, but it wasn't my experience. I was accepted into the program the first time I applied and am currently in third

  18. Summerlin Hospital

    Cupcake89121 replied to sunnyb714's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Cupcake89121 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Good Evening All Nurses! I am in the process of selecting a topic for an oral presentation and paper that will be presented to my Maternal-Newborn clinical class. The topics I am leaning towards are...

  21. CSN RN program questions

    Cupcake89121 replied to busynurse2bee's topic in Nevada Nursing

    duh, my bad! Anywhoo, the private schools are definitely appealing because you don't have to jump through as many hoops. They are way more expensive though. Also, if you decide to go on and earn...

    Cupcake89121 replied to busynurse2bee's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Approved Nursing Programs At the top of the page there is a blue link that says: Status Update Carrington College Las Vegas

  23. So I guess it is true...

    Cupcake89121 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    This has NOTHING to do with patient safety and EVERYTHING to do with lack of maturity on your part. I never said that it's okay to lie to students about their skills. You draw some pretty interesting...

  24. Nursing Dx confusion

    Cupcake89121 replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    R/T = why So I agree with you that r/t medication doesn't make sense and is unacceptable. I would ask your instructor for additional clarification. If he/she can not provide it to you then just give...

  25. So I guess it is true...

    Cupcake89121 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Two faced? No, I don't think that's the correct term. I'm sure there's another version of this story because I can't think of one reason for an instructor to tell a student they are doing well when...
