  1. My personal ADN vs BSN debate in Las Vegas

    moneyline702 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    In this town I am a little concerned about my employability. To me it seems like there is a preference of BSN graduates over the ADN graduates. Now with my past dealings with CSN (an AWESOME school in...

  2. I have damn had it with nevada

    moneyline702 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Not only has UNLV said it but now NSC has too. I can't EVER be in their respective nursing programs. Why? Because I took College Algebra too many times. Nearly 10 years ago!!! I'm just going to take...

  3. Question about UNLV

    moneyline702 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    OK here goes... I took MATH 124 at UNLV and only got a C grade. Problem one: I need a B grade. Problem two: I already took the class three times (once I dropped and the other time I failed)....

  4. CSN Nevada LPN 2011

    moneyline702 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Anyone applying to CSN's LPN program for 2011 (Fall)? I am and wish everyone the best of luck and hope to see some of you there in classes (assuming I get in too, lol) Only got 14/19 points though (1...

  5. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

    moneyline702 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am a hospital sitter. I make $12/hr there and no benefits. Since they won't hire me as a CNA I have to cultivate more options. A CNA here (Nevada) makes $16/hr. I know that LPN's are primarily in...

  6. How do I become a CNA at CSN?

    moneyline702 replied to whisman1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    It's quite boring. But kids were there when I attended. I'm sure the parents in the room will certainly

  7. Is becoming an LPN here still worth it?

    moneyline702 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am a hospital sitter. I make $12/hr there and no benefits. Since they won't hire me as a CNA I have to cultivate more options. A CNA here makes $16/hr. I know that LPN's are in skilled nursing here...

  8. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

    moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I never said I could bypass anything. I know the classes needed. Aside from the general eds that I have done, I have BIOL 189 done and look forward to 223, 224 & 251. That will take a year. The...

  9. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

    moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If I were able to get a job as a CNA here at my current job I'd just pursue my BSN. I need more than the $12/hr I get and benefits. I can't get financial aid like I mentioned before. Since even with...

  10. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

    moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Given that I would have to do a year of prereq's before I get into RN school the LPN route seems better economically. I do have a CNA license but my current employer won't hire me as one. And yes, I...

  11. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

    moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Now if only I can get the Medical Terminology class in this upcoming Spring and take the TEAS soon I'll be set for Fall 2012 to start LPN school at

  12. CNA jobs in Las Vegas

    moneyline702 replied to Optimom's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I've been grateful to have worked as a CNA in SNF's. I also had work at UMC as well. The market is hard here for EVERYONE regardless of title in health care. CNA, LPN or RN the road is tough...

  13. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

    moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Nevada doesn't use medication aides. However, there was talks about expanding the role of the CNA (for which I'm already certified). Now the $16/hr for CNA is only in hospitals. The SNF's are paying...

  14. How do I become a CNA at CSN?

    moneyline702 replied to whisman1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The 7 week course is over summers. Online with ------- is the best. It is wise to inquire as to what clinical class is associated with a particular site. I got lucky in that my clinical was a half...

  15. CSN Nevada LPN 2011

    moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Best of luck to you both. I guess the LPN program isn't as popular. Bully for us. I'll take that and run with

  16. Hourly rate for RN's, LPN's, CNA's in Your State

    moneyline702 replied to pirituba's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My job: CNA: $12.00/hr, LPN: $24.00/hr, RN: $37.00/hr To start. To stay (for a

  17. Medical school vs Nursing School

    moneyline702 replied to faraday68's topic in General Students

    For as much as you say they are equal yet different you fail to state that the "working with people" and "working with data" aspects of the job are in fact interchangeable. A better statement would be...

  18. I got a CNA job!!!!

    moneyline702 posted a topic in Correctional

    I applied for a CNA position at a medium security correctional facility. This was in August of 2010. I received a phone call first week of April asking if I was still interested and I said yes. Had an...

  19. CSN LPN points for last Fall

    moneyline702 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I know the total points system at CSN. I tried looking on here to see if anyone had posted about their LPN points for acceptance. So far I have not seen a post on this. Does anyone from any cycle know...

  20. CSN LPN points for last Fall

    moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in Nevada Nursing

  21. CSN LPN points for last Fall

    moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Oh that's ok. I was just trying to gauge where I would stand. I looked at the selection criteria sheet for the LPN program. I have now 16 out of a possible 19 points. One for being a CNA, two for work...

  22. Should I apply now or should I wait?

    moneyline702 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Apply now, apply later. Always apply. At least that's what I'd do. Eventually they'll give you a firm NO or an interview. Bug the mess outta them until you get the interview!! They'll get to know you...

  23. For those of us that didn't get in.... :(

    moneyline702 replied to jess1998's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Wow!! 27 was the cutoff? Insane. I'm truly sorry you didn't get in. People often have said "I don't see why one point for CNA is worth getting". Tell that to the person that got 26 points and the cut...

  25. LPN in Las Vegas, NV

    moneyline702 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm ok with working in a SNF. I work in one now as a CNA. For reasons I won't get into I don't want to go directly into an RN program (ADN or BSN) right away. I would much prefer it this way. I'm just...
