JacobK ADN, EMT-I

Please don't give out misinformation. St. Rose definitely DOES take new grads, and has one of the longer and more instructive new grad internships in the Las Vegas valley. ER, Oncology, Orthopedics, IMC, Surgery, and L&D all take new grads at St...

Just took my Hesi today, and it looks like I'll be applying for the UNLV nursing program for Spring 2011. Just wanted to see who else on allnurses will be applying with me, and have a place to put questions, comments, tips, and such.

Incorrect Touro received permission to accept 56 students for November, and are likely to accept students for March as well, as long as they maintain 80% NCLEX pass rate. http://nevadanursingboard.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/071811boardmin.pdf I b...

So much wrong with this post, grammatically and content wise. Can't tell you how many addicts say "You don't know me, I can handle it!"

Ideally its best to have all A's. That said when I was accepted I had(in the classes that count toward your GPA calculation): 1 C, 2 B's, 2B+'s, 1 A- and 1 class in progress(acts as an F on the points form). What got me in was the fact that I had pa...

Incorrect. The evaluation of transferred credit from NSC needs to happen before submitting the packet, otherwise the DARS will be incomplete and the credits won't count toward the prerequisites/points.

Cheyenne Campus is where the credit evaluation takes place, or it was when I applied. Tell the people at the registration desk that you are a nursing student and need it to be rushed, if possible try and get them to walk it up to the lady who does th...

Lets make this simple. :) Registered Nurse NCLEX-RN Diploma in Nursing Program = NCLEX-RN Associate of Science Nursing(ASN) Program = NCLEX-RN Associate of Applied Science in Nursing (AAS) Program= NCLEX-RN Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) Program =...

B+ in chem 111, I took it at NSC. I don't know what the cut off for this fall was, you might want to try the advising office.

The only difference between the Cardio III and Cardio II SE is that the Cardio III bell can be converted into a Pediatric Diaphragm.

Study what the professor says is important, don't try to memorize 300 pages for information for a test. Try to get acclimatized to NCLEX style questions, particularly figuring out what the question is really asking. I'm a certified EMT-I, just educat...

Like being set against giving blood because of personal reasons?

I don't believe the advising office when they say that GPA and Hesi scores increase every semester, I'm fairly certain the minimum entrance points for Spring 2011(my class) was lower than fall 2010, as people with similar points didn't get in for fal...

I believe the final count was 11 out of 48 did not proceed to the second semester. 1 or 2 were people who passed their classes and simply decided not to return. The rest did not pass at least one class, most are still in the program, but are having ...

And therein lies the problem with the anti-vaccination crowd.

There is a real scientific/medical reason for a pregnant or transplant recipient nurse not to be around patients with infectious diseases. There isn't a scientific reason for a nurse to not be able to administer blood products.

As a student I would recommend a stethoscope with a traditional bell and diaphragm, many programs require it. All Littmanns now come with a "tunable" diaphragm that supposedly allows you to hear both high and low pitched sounds with only the diaphrag...

Time for an update, first semester is done. I passed, about 1/5th the class didn't, most of them were people working, had little kids, or both. Overall the instructors were pretty excellent, but they are very strict about deadlines, cutoffs and punct...

Take a CNA or EMT-B course. They can be done in 6 weeks in most places. It will give you an idea whether or not the medical field is right for you due to the basics skills learned, and your exposure to patient care and health setting during clinicals...

There is no such school as "Nevada State University." Are you talking about "Nevada State College," perhaps "University of Southern Nevada", or "University of Nevada Las Vegas"? If so where are you getting this information?

Which program lost their accreditation?

Is it that you're not so much concerned about having an advantage being male, but rather hoping that you won't be at a disadvantage for being male? Engineers are having trouble too, especially Civil Engineers. The economic downturn affects us all.

EDIT: It is carrington college that has stopped accepting students, ITT tech appears to still be accepting. The information I had come for the ITT Tech thread and I thought it had been ITT tech that had changed its name to carrington, however I belie...

Usually we wear scrubs 2 days a week, one day for laboratory, and also for clinicals. Lab coats are required for 3 days a week, 1 lecture day, 1 day when you go to your hospital site to pick up patient information, and for clinical days.
