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 skills!

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 time commitment because he has two kids and two jobs....

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 my current state, get licensed here, and then just...

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 actually helped those who have real problems and are...

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 become an RN nobody is going to care that you got a...

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 most established nursing programs in the area. Ev...

Thank you both for the helpful advice!

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 and now, let's just say, that I don't! Hehe Anywhoo,...

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 NOT a math person. Anyway, good luck!

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 pass rate for 2011 was 81.43% of 70 candidates th...

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 not counting on it. I would recommend starting BS...

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 up and work hard!

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 part-time program and with how many points? It might a...

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 appropriate. A person who is having difficulty breathing...

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 accepted.

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 semester.

I think I saw some positions online with Spring Valley hospital. I'm doing my OB clinical rotation there this semester and my instructor is a wonderful L&D nurse.

Back when I applied I just took it to the Registrar in D building.

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 re: ritual female genital mutilation or ethical con...

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 your BSN and MSN, some of the credits may not transf...

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

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 conclusions for yourself. Good luck in nursing sch...

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 them what they want and then speak to another ins...

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 they aren't. If you think it's acceptable to make a ...
