    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Actually first semester clinical is only 6 hours, once a week. 2nd semester is 7 hours twice a week. It's not so bad. Last semester I spent only 15 hours a week away from home for school stuff. This...

  3. Technology Advice for Nursing School

    christina731 replied to goldeeloks23's topic in General Students

    I have a 17" Compaq laptop, an iPad, a 12" Acer netbook and a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone and I love them all. If I had more dough I would add a MacBook Air to the mix to possibly replace the 17" laptop....

    christina731 replied to kelsiedana's topic in General Students

    I would kill for a hospital internship. You're already used to working during school, so I would take it. Good

  5. Professor who is too easy??

    christina731 replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    I had a very easy psych professor and I took the class online so I never even had an actual lecture. I didn't care too much at the time because I was taking A&P I, Micro and working 2 jobs at the...

  7. CSN RN Spring 2014

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I just checked out the CSN site and the max possible points for Fall '14 and Spring '15 is 44. The old max was 34 but they have made math 120 worth an additional 10 points. I really think that's great...

    christina731 replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Lol! That's how I feel about damn near everything in nursing

  11. How do you handle all the reading?

    christina731 replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Yeah there is no time to read all of the assigned reading on top of all of the everything else...I'm in second semester and I'm doing fine without reading everything, I study the notes that are given...

  12. CSN RN Spring 2014

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yes, I do have a FB group called "CSN nursing students rock" which is open for everyone to discuss general nursing topics. I can only invite people who are on my friends list but if you request to be...

  13. I know where I'm not wanted, but I also know what I need to get out of this.

    christina731 replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure how things are done at everyone else's schools, but for clinical at my school the clinical instructor is ALWAYS with you when a new skill is done on a patient. They don't allow us to have...

  14. Completely enraged!!!

    christina731 replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    They have the same type of people working at my school's bookstore. In the 4 or so years that I have been at this campus, I have walked out of that store cussing under my breath and raging on at least...

  15. Where do YOU sit in class?

    christina731 replied to Caribbean Character's topic in General Students

    I like to sit in the front row because I get easily distracted by people's hair, the way they sit, anything to get my focus off the lecture and I end up missing something. Sometimes during tests I...

  16. Clinical PT. info

    christina731 replied to ASPEN.88's topic in General Students

    At the hospital I'm doing my medsurg rotation at, I get there at about 5pm the night before clinical and get my 2 pt's info which takes about 2 hours. Then I go home and write everything up which...

  17. Flu shots as a student anyone?

    christina731 replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in General Students

    Flu shots are required for my program since many of the local hospitals require it in order to provide care so my school instituted a blanket policy that lumps flu shots in with hep b, tdap and all...

  18. CSN Nursing Program

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I just started my 2nd semester of the ADN program. I worked limited hours during 1st semester and it was tough and I think I only worked maybe 10 days during the whole semester. Now I'm in 2nd...

  19. CSN: Prerequisite BIOL 189

    christina731 replied to aheadofthegame's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Biol 189 has a lab component that cannot be completed online. I've been a student at CSN for many years and I have not seen them offer 223 or 224 over the summer. Also, it's not likely that you will...

  20. Provisional approval schools

    christina731 replied to armywife808's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm in CSN's ADN program now. There's no difference between AAS, ADN and ASN. Different schools have different names but you will still be getting an associates degree and (hopefully) be eligible to...

    christina731 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    christina731 replied to christina731's topic in Nevada Nursing

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    No, they don't send you anything. You can call the limited entry office on Tuesday to make sure that they have your app and that it's complete. The lady there is very helpful. After that, you will...

  25. Why do you have to take the CNA class for LPN program at CSN?

    christina731 replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm in the ADN program at CSN and having a CNA certification is not required. I think it should have been because those of us in my class that were CNA's seemed to be a little less anxious when it...
