  1. CSN Spring 2015

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    More than likely you won't be able to get an appointment that soon but it doesn't hurt to try. From what I understand you can't even schedule until you go to the orientation and they tend to fill up...

  2. CSN Spring 2015

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The health programs orientation is mandatory in order to get a (nursing - NOT regular) academic advising appointment. Both are necessary in order to submit an application. If you fail to do them they...

  3. Pitocin Calculation

    christina731 replied to 2016New's topic in General Students

    I get confused too. I want to follow this thread and I hope I can

  4. Maternity Rotation

    christina731 replied to Kaligirl02's topic in LPN to RN

    That's unfortunate...I always wondered why women didn't mind it if their MD was male but the minute a male nurse came in the patient and their partner were upset. I was lucky enough to have 5 males in...

  5. Maternity Rotation

    christina731 replied to Kaligirl02's topic in LPN to RN

    I just finished my OB rotation for my ADN program. The facility that I was at had some nurses that were quite possessive of their patients so if I was paired up with one of them I knew it was going to...

  6. NCLEX RN Scheduling

    christina731 replied to Pediatrics_2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why not go to the early date? Bad neighborhood or something? If so I could totally understand. I wouldn't do it after a holiday weekend because you will probably be either not enjoying yourself on...

  7. Second Language Speaker

    christina731 replied to anrukeyn's topic in General Students

    I don't think there's any reason to compare yourself to the student that supposedly did not pass because English was not their first language. Keep your chin up and do your best, I'm sure you will do...

  8. Nclex / pearson vue trick

    christina731 replied to LindaHerrnandez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry that happened to you {HUGS}. I'm not really sure if it has anything to do with it but for me stress and lack of sleep generally correlates with doing poorly on exams. You just have to get...

  9. Daily Schedule?

    christina731 replied to notnursezelda's topic in General Students

    I will be taking medsurg II (10 weeks) and an online leadership course which meets on occasional Fridays (15 weeks) My schedule for the fall will probably be as follows: Monday: study in the morning;...

  10. Is It Necessary?

    christina731 replied to osi2011's topic in General Students

    I have an iPad as well as a 12" laptop. I use the iPad in class to reference things and for ebooks if the software is compatible. All of my books from 1st and 2nd semester were on it (with pageburst...

  11. Do I 'NEED' these books?

    christina731 replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    My program required the lab values book back in 1st semester and I have used it ever since (I'm about to start 4th). That would be the only book I would recommend getting. I got the Potter and Perry...

  12. What are the toughest classes in nursing school?

    christina731 replied to JDK1's topic in General Students

    I totally agree - I excelled in funds and finished the class with about a 97%. Then came medsurg and I was getting low C's on the first few exams and I was terrified that I would fail. I totally had...

  13. What are the toughest classes in nursing school?

    christina731 replied to JDK1's topic in General Students

    Pharmacology was the toughest for me, partly because I have been working as a certified pharmacy tech for many years and I went into the class thinking I knew SO much about drugs. Too bad I knew SO...

  14. A quick question regarding ADN programs

    christina731 replied to osi2011's topic in General Students

    My ADN program only offers summer classes for the part timers, not full timers. From what I understand, you can take one additional class in the summer if you're full time and space permits but it...

  15. teas v reading 80%

    christina731 replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Also, on some of the exams you take in nursing school and beyond (ATI and NCLEX), you can't go back so I would get used to it now

  16. teas v reading 80%

    christina731 replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I didn't skip anything, I just did everything in order. The first time I took it I scored like a 90 and the second time an 88 (I took it again for an overall higher score, which I obtained). Time is...

  17. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I don't know. Sorry! I've only applied for aid through FAFSA (and I've always been denied for scholarships/grants

  18. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    No problem! Good luck!

  19. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I would let them know that you're interested in either full time or part time, whichever is available first. First semester is the same classes whether you're full time or part time and I'm fairly...

  20. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    So you're first in the line of alternates for full time and part

  21. BON approval and accreditation

    christina731 replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    Plymouth state university and NHTI don't seem promising either (just based off of the numbers - I know nothing else about those schools). How long has manchester CC been around? Are the 100%'s due to...

  22. 5th edition Saunders NCLEX-RN or 6th edition Saunders NCLEX-RN

    christina731 replied to Seysey's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    From what I understand, the 6th edition comes with online access to the practice questions while the 5th edition comes with a cd. I have the 5th edition and the cd makes a good coaster to place under...

  23. BON approval and accreditation

    christina731 replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    Oh well that makes sense

  24. BON approval and accreditation

    christina731 replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    There are 97 schools in your area? Wow! I'm in NV and I think there are like 10 schools in the entire state lol! That's what happens in states with small populations

  25. Summer Class Questions

    christina731 replied to boipoka72's topic in General Students

    Good point! I forgot how much research was involved in
