First semester I took in class...I thought it was a waste of time (for me personally), I would read the textbook during lecture. 2nd and 3rd semesters I took online classes. I loved them. 4th semester I am taking 211 in class. I learn by reading so t...

Me too. I'm in Med-Surg I right now and I spend way less time on this class than I did in fundamentals. I do enjoy the content a lot more though. I find it a lot more interesting. I feel like the content is a lot more straight forward, whereas funda...

Hey guys, you're not supposed to name instructors on this website. If you PM, I can give you my take on instructors. Also, about online classes...I took 1st semester in class and I regretted it, I would have enjoyed it a lot better online, I think. T...

Well, new student orientation is Nov 4th, so I'm pretty sure you'll be hearing in a few weeks. Good luck everyone! I know how hard it is to wait for that call.

Nope he didn't have Chem. He was coming from CSN which doesn't require Chem for Biol 251, but CSN also didn't have Biol 251 last summer either. So now he is applying for CSN fall 2011 with 30 or 31 pts.
Melissa131 replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Nevada
For those of you wanting to take Biol 251 at NSC this summer you might want to check the pre-reqs. Right now they require that you have Biol 189 & Chem 110 or Biol 196 & Chem 121 as a pre-req before you can register for Biol 251. They're pret...

I feel pretty much the same way as Cupcake, except I was not working. Actually, her whole post sounds very similar to my experiences, as I took A&P II over the summer at NSC as well. :) I thought A&P I was A LOT harder than both A&P II an...
Thanks WTX! You've helped tremendously. :) I was able to move my pharm class. So now I'm free after my lab in the mornings. I really appreciated all of the comments and helpful tips you've given us. They come in handy and are helping me calm down a ...
Thanks for the quick replies! They're very much appreciated and I'm sure you're busy getting ready for finals. I did have a couple more questions if you have the time to answer. 1. Do we have to go to clinicals before the actual day? I have clinical...
Thanks for the info WTX! Do you know if we have to have a certain type of watch? Can it be digital? Sunshine, that looks like a great backpack. Can you let me know if it has a lot of room after you get it? I think I may end up getting one too.
I know you said you didn't want to order online, but zappos.com is a great site. You have 365 days to return and it's free shipping, both ways, if you have to return them. I did a quick search for your shoe size and width and saw about 5 pairs of all...
I emailed the nursing department. They said that velcro to attach patches works. So I think I'll try that out. My husband is so funny he said I should use industrial strength velcro, but then again maybe he's onto something. I've read that a lot of...
Thanks guys! I'll look into those. I'd really like to get my uniforms squared away before Christmas. Less stuff to worry about. Anyone know anything about the patches? I know she said that you can sew them on, but what about velcro? I was thinking of...
Most pants I saw had the drawstring and half elastic. Do you know of any place around town that doesn't have the drawstring? Or I wonder if half elastic w/ the drawstring would be OK? I'd prefer to try them on before buying them. Especially, since th...

Yes, I got in with 28 points for Spring 2011. NSC--I had previously been enrolled for a few other classes, the biggest thing was just making sure you get the authorization form if the class you need has prerequisites. For example, I took Bio 223 @ C...

I had my transcript evaluated in one week from an out of state college. I had the course description attached. I also had my NSC transcript evaluated in one day. My story is kind of long. I had NSC send my transcript to CSN when grades were posted. U...

I took both 223 & 224 this summer. I got an A in 223 and a B in 224. It was definitely doable and I would do it again. That was actually my second time taking 223, for a better grade. I enjoyed it a lot better than taking it during the longer sem...
I'm sorry you didn't get in. I know how disappointing it can be. Have you finished all of your pre-reqs? Can you retake the TEAS for higher points? Can you retake any class if you're already done with all of your pre-reqs? What about taking a CNA co...
Melissa131 replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada
We have to pick up the acceptance letter and packet on Mon, Nov 1st (between 9-12 and 1-4? I think. I'm not sure on the afternoon times). The first mandatory orientation is Friday, November 12th. The lady that called me and left a message said the ot...
Melissa131 replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada
Based on the message that the lady left on my phone, the mandatory orientations are Nov 12 and Jan 6th. School starts on Jan. 24th as someone previously posted.

This is the first time I've gotten to the computer today. Yay! Congrats everyone! I got in with 28 points, full-time. They called around 9:20. I had a friend that got in full-time w/ 27 points.
Melissa131 replied to Cupcake89121's topic in Nevada
Haha, ok. I just wanted to make sure you were looking out for the phone call too. I'm going to be calling my house phone all day tomorrow. I'll be in clinicals for my CNA course until 3 tomorrow. At least, I'll be busy and won't have time to worry a...
