  3. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    When I was accepted for Spring 2013 I kept getting the "we'll call later in the month/week" crap and it was very nervewracking. I guess they don't want to give you a definite day because if something...

    christina731 replied to HeiragoNurse's topic in General Students

    Dang, ATI is usually only worth 10% of our lecture grades. I didn't open the ATI fundamentals book once and I scored a level 3. I think I did so well because I actually read the questions thoroughly...

  11. Peds care plan assistance please!

    christina731 replied to christina731's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I ended up not using this diagnosis because I don't seem to have enough information. Maybe I didn't do a thorough enough assessment but all of my classmates and my instructor agreed that it is...

  12. Has your clinical instructor helped you or held you back?

    christina731 replied to nowim clean's topic in General Students

    Nope, once you have your pre requisites completed (and your teas) you will only take the nursing classes that are in the program and you can't take those unless you're accepted. If you want to get a...
