The suspense is killing me!!!!! Call us already!!!!!

"I'm surprised that all of the people on the CSN waiting list aren't strongly suggesting you drop out in hopes that they get your spot" That is what I was thinking :-) LOL

Last year they started calling on the 27th of October, I put it in my calendar :-)

There are millions of post on this very subject, if you do a search for Bsn vs Adn you will finds tons that will give you some good advice and answers to your questions. Good Luck!!

Not sure, but congrats on your score!! You did awesome !!

I also have gotten impatient with the wait to get into an RN program and contemplated just doing an LPN program then returning for an RN-LPN bridge, but after doing some research I have found that it is easier to get into the RN program at my school than to get into the RN-LPN bridge. The bridge program has fewer spots and is therefore way more competitive. I think you should stick it out and wait for the RN program, and work as a CNA if you need to. Just my

If you are allowed to tape the lectures, I HIGHLY recommenced it. I have my instructors voiced burned into my brain from listening to the recordings over and over again. It was also nice to have them as a reference to go to if I had questions. As far as typing out the recordings... I never had time, would have been worried about spending all my time typing and not concentrating on learning the info....I know some people learn well that way though. It all boils down to how much time you have and the best way you learn. I also used flash cards for anatomy which helped me greatly. I was able to find some flashcards that you could color in, which helped a lot for the bones. I think you just have to try out different things and see what works for you, then stick with it. Everyone has a different way of learning. Good Luck!!!

I think that they have discontinued this program for the time being. It looks like this post is from 3 years ago, but you could always call them and find out. I looked on their website and it looks like they have removed the info for the adopt-a-student program. Again I would suggest calling them.

Wow, I know that starting a new job can be hard and stressful, but think about the way things will be after you have been there for awhile. Do you really want to be around these people all the time, and work for a boss that offers you no support. If I were you and it was an option I would keep working there but start looking for a different place for the long term.

I think that people should take the show as what it is meant for, entertainment. If you want an accurate depiction of nursing watch a documentary. I have a hard time believing that people will think negatively towards nurses because of they way they are depicted by one show. Just my

No, I was referring to past books like my history book and soc book. The nursing books I am sure I will keep. I just want to get all the ISBN numbers for them so I can buy them separately and save some money.

And are all the books the special CSN editions that you can't find online? They love to do that at CSN, I have so many books that I can't sell back because they switched editions on me and amazon won't take them cause they are custom. I am trying to figure out if it's possible to buy them individually online, and save some money.

What was the grand total for all your books?? Do they make you buy them all at one in a package??

No, there are a couple more that you HAVE to have finished before you apply and some you must finish before you apply to graduate. But if you apply with only the ones you have to have done you will not have a competitive amount of points to even get in. But, every school is different. We have to have history, english, psych, soc, bio, A&P 1&2, Micro, and Math

Thanks! I was just curious about what they used because I was told it was only models and computer stuff and that seems like it would be really hard to learn on. Do you have any suggestions for prof. at NSC for 224 that you can share with me??

I wanted to know from anyone that has taken A&P at any of these schools if you have gotten to do any dissections or if you only use models, or do it on a computer. Just curious :)

At the school I will be applying, there are pre-reqs that Have to be completed before you apply to the program and then there are pre-reqs that must be completed by the time you graduate. Although I can apply after I finish the first pre-reqs, I am going to finsh All of them before I apply for two reasons. First, my school does a point system and the classes that are not required to be finished before you apply are worth more points, so to have max points I want to finish them first. Second, because of the chaos of the program, the last thing I want to worry about is extra classes on top of my nursing classes. So I decided to spend a little extra time to get them out of the way first.

My first thoughts went to the "internet predator" too. I think that is a huge adolescent risk behavior that most teenagers don't even think about when they engage in it.

I am taking the pre-reqs that I can for my bsn along with my pre-reqs for CSN. But, I also had alot of the pre-reqs for CSN done already through previous majors. That way I will have less to tackle when I get to Nevada State. :-)

I have also heard this not about NV, but about all places in general. My mother in-law is a nurse practitioner in Michigan and stresses to me all the time that I have to go on and get my BSN. Right now I plan on going to CSN then going to Nevada State to do the RN-BSN. I think employers are always going to hire someone with more education over another, unless they have more experience.

This post https://allnurses.com/nevada-nurses/spring-2010-csn-421380.html has a lot of discussion from people that applied to the spring semester.

Nevermind.....I just noticed that you happen to be one of those people

Check this thread..... https://allnurses.com/nevada-nurses/spring-2010-csn-421380.html I believe there were a few people applying that had some info.

So another question I have is that I have heard the the program at nevada state is all online....is this true?? Thanks for all the great info! Also how far are you along at CSN??

Have you done one of these programs?? Or know much about them??
