i am beginning rn school in january, and i've never been one to read the book. obviously, this is going to change next semester! my question is, how do i read the book and retain the information? i know that its unrealistic to plan on re-reading t...

I couldn't believe it when I made it through my first wound care experience. This was an 1.5 inch diameter wound with 9 cm of tunneling and the wound care nurse directing was just digging around in there with a swab. But I made it. A lot of the sq...

I also have a Littman with a self-tuning bell (does not flip from bell to diaphragm). It works wonderfully for nursing school, and it is in fact the same model that one of the professors uses.

Well if you can't afford it, you can't afford it, just make sure you are using your med math software that is on your required books list. The medication calculation exam is the one exam in the semester that can fail you from the program. You must ...

Take the 1.5 credit prep class! Of all the people I know who failed the meds calculation exam, none of them had taken that class. Plus it's always helpful to have a leg up on care plans for clinical. Those can seem confusing at first.

YES!!!!!! :)

Tip for orientation: Pay close attention to every instruction you are given. Some get a little scary when they get irritated, and it's very irritating to them to have to repeat instructions. If they say to line up, don't chit chat and meander over, G...

I take pharm online and lecture on Thursday. :)

Wait a tic, I thought you got in for spring 2010, Vegas 2009? I'm confused, trying to place who's actually in my class, lol.

You need to go to the health sciences advisor. I would not call the admissions office, they are fielding a million calls all asking this question. The health sciences advisor requires an appointment and has a hard copy of statistical information re...

You'll get in with a 29. You just missed the cutoff last semester. :) And as far as orientations and stuff, when you get accepted, you are pretty much at their whim. They give you 3 dates that are mandatory for advisement and orientation and if you...

Anyone out there entering the CSN Spring 2010 RN program? It might be nice to get to know one another a bit before classes start!

I honestly have not heard anything about fall. All I know is they take the best 120 (124?) applicants, 24/32 or so for part-time. I don't know when phone calls are going out or anything. :/

i know that i'm a little insane given the intensity of any rn program, but i just bought my books yesterday, and for the first time ever i am actually interested in the readings! i just hope i can keep up this momentum and enthusiasm for 2 years! h...

Thank you, Dianah! :)

I am wondering if anyone knows how it works to take nursing courses in the summer. Advisement said summer courses are available, but aren't the semesters arranged so certain classes are taken together?

I tried- we'll see if you get it.

Under my name there are little buttons, one says "profile". Click on that and you should find a way to send me a message. :) Or, just check your messages, I sent one to you.

You haven't taken any a/p at csn?

Take the teas as soon as you can. If you don't pass, then it's not a huge deal and you know what to expect next time. And as soon as you have the required courses done, start applying, don't wait until you think you have enough points to be conside...

To get a good idea of the courses required, timelines and when to apply, check out http://sites.csn.edu/health/nursing/adncurricspringfulltime.pdf For more info about CSN's nursing program itself, check out http://sites.csn.edu/health/overview-nursin...

No problem, Rod! It would have been fun to do that at the beginning of my journey!

I'm not sure why you would want to sell a lot of the books back, such as your dictionaries, study guides, even a few of the texts. Plus the books are chosen by Elsevier, not CSN, so nothing is customized for CSN.

There is a book bundle you have to buy that is $743, and then for the 4 additional books it was around $125. Not sure if you caught this at orientation yesterday though, but in the tidbit of the syllabus they showed it looks like there are a couple ...
