  3. how is school?

    QuietRN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Can you say "hello syllabus!"? Oh my goodness - I've never seen a syllabus so detailed before! That's great...but it's soooo overwhelming!!! It makes my head hurt just thinking about those first 2...

    QuietRN replied to sribell86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Haha!! Okay...that's good to know! Maybe you were remembering how orientation was at 8 and so most people were there by 7:30. I had to keep checking my paper as well to make sure it really said 9!...

  7. Online Classes

    QuietRN replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The plunge would definitely wake ya up - but I doubt it would help procrastination! (If it did - I'd jump in too!!) :wink2: I still have no idea what's even ON this ATI exam. Is it like NLN type...

  8. Online Classes

    QuietRN replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I agree. Online classes are usually geared more towards those who can "self-teach." I took the nevada history class online (as well as the same Soc one you're taking) and that professor made us read...

  9. Just wondering

    QuietRN replied to bscn_rn_10_years's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am just barely starting nursing school, so I can't say much for what the hospitals are like to work for. I have volunteered at St. Rose San Martin Hospital (real close to Southern Hills...

  10. Laptop for Nursing Program?

    QuietRN posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hi all!! In orientation for CSN's RN program they talked a bit about using a laptop in class. Does anyone recommend doing this? I've never used a laptop in a class before and I don't often see...

    QuietRN replied to SinCityRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm sorry I can't help you out! I'm just about to start the nursing program and these stories scare me! But I just wanted to tell you CONGRATS on passing the NCLEX!!! That's a great accomplishment!...

  12. What Should I Expect The First Week of Nursing School?

    QuietRN posted a topic in General Students

    Hi!! I was just hoping to get some insight as to what to expect that first week (or first few weeks) in the nursing program (ADN)? I know every school can be different...but just a general idea...

  13. Laptop for Nursing Program?

    QuietRN replied to QuietRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Okay...so I just unplugged my full charged laptop...and it tells me there's about 4 hours and 58 minutes of battery life left! That's pretty good, right? (I'm assuming if I were to use it constantly...

  14. Laptop for Nursing Program?

    QuietRN replied to QuietRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I've not payed attention in the classrooms...but I'd guess that there would be outlets occasionally along the walls. You'd just make sure to sit near an outlet if your power is getting low. So far,...

  15. What Should I Expect The First Week of Nursing School?

    QuietRN replied to QuietRN's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much for posting those links! I read them all!! That was very very helpful!! I was so excited for lpnhopeful after finally reading that she passed her NCLEX! haha! I felt like I had been...

  16. NICU Summer Extern?

    QuietRN replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    Wow! You got some harsh advice! Don't let that get you down!! I do agree with a previous poster who said you should go shadow and see if you might like it before you apply. That's a great idea!!...

  17. What Should I Expect The First Week of Nursing School?

    QuietRN replied to QuietRN's topic in General Students

    Wow!! Thanks for all the responses (keep 'em comin)!! I really appreciate the support! It's so nice to have this resource....to know that so many other people have been through this before! I just...

  18. Laptop for Nursing Program?

    QuietRN replied to QuietRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    That's good to know - about the recording lectures thing! I ended up buying a Dell Studio 15...and so far I love it!! It's not small like the one someone mentioned...but it's not too heavy and will...

  19. When to take CNA program?

    QuietRN replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Definitely do it this Spring!! It's not really hard...just takes time since you have lecture, lab AND clinicals every week! Honestly - I probably shouldn't say this, but I hardly ever studied for...

  20. CSN Summer Class

    QuietRN replied to zodi51's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yes...they do! I took the first 6 weeks in the morning...but then did the evening time for 224 because of my hubby's schedule change (and cause I liked the professor better). If I remember correctly...

  21. Other Mom's... need advice!

    QuietRN replied to crok9014's topic in General Students

    First off - you are amazing!! Someday you'll thank yourself for doing this (and your family probably will too)! I don't have much advice for you (I've enjoyed reading the responses though)...I start...

  22. Transferring A Patient

    QuietRN replied to missjennmb's topic in General Students

    How are you transferring them? Are they able to put any weight on their legs? Do you have a gait belt? I did the CNA course this past spring...and while transferring is never easy - I felt okay...

  23. Laptop for Nursing Program?

    QuietRN replied to QuietRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks!! I most definitely can type faster than I write!! Can you tell me how you can type notes right on the bottom of the powerpoint? I've never noticed that that is

  24. CSN Summer Class

    QuietRN replied to zodi51's topic in Nevada Nursing

    They usually do...but I've heard it's very hard to get into!! They only offer like one or two sections of it. If you're needing to take 223 AND 224 - you should take them at NSC over the summer....

  25. CNA classes at CSN

    QuietRN replied to hugs and kisses's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Oops...sorry! I was just told that I shouldn't put names on here. I can't figure out how to go back and edit them out though!!
