  1. Carrington College Reno?

    Leilani1983 replied to heartbeep's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I highly doubt the lowest score to get in was a 96%. I am in the last semester at Carrington, and when I was accepted I scored a 94.5% and got right in. I would think you'll be

  2. ICU as a new grad

    Leilani1983 replied to francoml's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I live in Reno, NV ( I know NV isn't one of the states you wanted) but we have a big new grad program at one of our hospitals here. They hire new grads into the ICU program every 4 month. This time...

  3. What's the deal with all the "New Grad" job listings, but nobody can find a job?

    Leilani1983 replied to rene76's topic in General Nursing

    It all really depends on where you live. I'm in Nevada and the class that's graduating now (they walk tomorrow) all have jobs and they haven't even taken their nclex. Well, all but 2 people have...

  4. Wait to take CNA exam?

    Leilani1983 replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I just finished that CNA course and on one of our last days we met with a rep you organizes all of the tests here in Reno. She said it totally depends on when your graduating. Even within your...

    Leilani1983 replied to kjsquared's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks for the reply LIFE IS GOOD! The employee I was shadowing was a Critical Care Tech, that's just her official title. She is basically a CNA, she said she got hired right out of school and...

  6. HESI a2 (question about the exam itself/study guide)

    Leilani1983 replied to tincan_08's topic in General Students

    I recently took the hesi a2 but I only had to take the math, reading, and vocab sections. The math section of the study guide is exactly like the test. The vocab was a bit harder, quite a few words...

  7. TMCC Program

    Leilani1983 replied to kjsquared's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I wouldn't say she was lazy. She was actually great at the part of her job that I saw her do, she just didn't do much patient care. I think they are a little short-staffed when it comes to CNAs...

  8. Taking CNA course before nursing school Worth it?

    Leilani1983 replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi LotteryGirl! Everything is going great. I'm about to be in my 6th week of clinicals for my CNA course. I decided to do the full semester program in Reno @ TMCC instead of driving to Fallon @...

    Leilani1983 replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    the good thing about you not working once you're in school is that you'll have to re-apply for financial aid each fiscal year. carrington blocks out the cost in 3 "years". 2 semesters for each year....

    Leilani1983 replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Kari72. Sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you...I used the Mosby Elsevier Admisson Assessment Exam Review 2nd edition. That's the study guide that Carrington suggested. I didn't use...

  13. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    Leilani1983 replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I took the Hesi a2 yesterday and got a 94.3% overall. I only had to take Reading, Vocab, and Math. I scored 98% on Vocab and Math and only an 86% on the Reading! Oops. It told me I was bad with...

  15. HESI A2 Entrance Exam

    Leilani1983 replied to angeloa22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. A really silly math question..please help!

    Leilani1983 replied to crazytonurse's topic in General Students

    Don't feel dumb! When you don't do that kind of math for long periods it's easy to get confused! BTW...I meant to say, find the highest common denominator to reduce it...not the lowest. In your...

  17. A really silly math question..please help!

    Leilani1983 replied to crazytonurse's topic in General Students

    40/240 is 1/6 you just have to find the lowest common denominator and reduce it down. e.g 40/240= 20/120=10/60=1/6....Does that make sense? It's all the

  19. Taking CNA course before nursing school Worth it?

    Leilani1983 replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Leilani1983 replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not trying to have a huge debate with you orange juice. All I'm saying is there are jobs out there. I'm not sure what you expect. Every job, in every industry, is going to have lots of...

    Leilani1983 replied to kjsquared's topic in Nevada Nursing

  22. New Grad RN need not apply

    Leilani1983 replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Leilani1983 replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LotteryGirl- What made you choose UNR over TMCC or Apollo? How long will that end up taking you? I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Apollo just for the fact that all the pre-reqs are included. I...

  24. New Grad RN need not apply

    Leilani1983 replied to ohyeah's topic in First Year After Licensure
