    My friend that was an alternate didn't find out until January. Like a few weeks before classes began. Just keep your head up and think positive. I'm sure the alternates will get good news

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    That's correct, but if you're an alternate you still get a call. Make sure if you are an alternate that you do attend all of the orientations. One of my friends was an alternate a year ago and now...

    You probably won't take even be able to register until a few days after orientation. Unless they changed something, that is when you will pick your 101

    Has anyone called the nursing dept to find out when orientation will be? They have to call you before

  7. How is having a dog during nursing school?

    christina731 replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    I have had dogs since I was young so I can't imagine what life would be like without one. I'm also lucky that I live with 2 other people who have odd schedules like me, so my little rascal is never...

  8. Correct grammar

    christina731 replied to chutley76's topic in General Students

    I try not to use abbreviations in anything that I have to turn in. I also have the most nit-picky instructors on the

  9. CSN RN Spring 2014

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Last year they kept telling us the same thing. I would keep calling them (le office) daily and also ask it the selection committee has met. Once that happens they (nursing dept) should notify you...

  11. Social Butterfly or stay to self?????

    christina731 replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I am in an ADN program at a large, public state college. There are over 100 people in my cohort alone. There are people who are "clicky" and I try to avoid them. I have people that I associate with...

  13. Your Spring Schedule

    christina731 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I will be taking L&D and Peds. Each has lecture, lab and clinical. Not sure of the times yet, the schedule isn't up

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Oh this time last year I was an anxiety-filled mess! Just try to keep yourself occupied with something so you're not so antsy

  15. OB clinical experience ... a male perspective.

    christina731 replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    That's great! It's nice to hear about OB rotations from a man's perspective. There are several men in my class and we will be starting OB in January and I hope they have the same attitude as you. Good...

  16. What do you carry your gear to clinicals in?

    christina731 replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in General Students

    I would love to not have to go to preclinical because the nurses/patients are constantly asking me for help and I have to tell them sorry, my instructor isn't here so I can't do anything. I feel like...

  17. What do you carry your gear to clinicals in?

    christina731 replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in General Students

    Everything that I need (stethoscope, pens, sharpie, pen light, bandage scissors, goggles, alcohol preps) goes in my pockets. I carry a clipboard with my paperwork that stays outside of the patient...

  18. Ebooks? Some, all or none??

    christina731 replied to cnoto34's topic in General Students

    Ebooks are very useful when you have to search for something quickly. I used to hate them but now they're growing on me. For my prerequisites, I only used hard copies. For first semester of nursing...

  22. Really surprised... but I LOVED mental health!

    christina731 replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    I agree! I'm like 1/3 of the way through my mental health semester and I'm literally counting down the hours until it's over. I just hate it! But I just need to do my best so I'm not right back here...

  23. Starting 1st semester on Chapters 17, 20-22 & 34 in Fund. book?

    christina731 replied to danedsel's topic in General Students

    I doubt that they are out to get you. Not all programs are taught in the exact same order. I'm sure the textbook publishers have no idea and don't care about what order that you're going to learn the...

  24. RN to BSN

    christina731 replied to Krafty's topic in General Students

    In my area it is not difficult to get a job with your ADN but it is starting to trend towards BSN preferred. I don't believe there is much of a difference in pay at most places but you must have a BSN...
