  1. How long did it take to get into the RN program at CSN

    christina731 replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I don't mind...I got a 76%. The proctor lady said that my score was "excellent". I wanted to cry after the test but heck, I got accepted so that's all that

  2. CSN RN FALL 2013

    christina731 replied to mrsmommy32's topic in Nevada Nursing

  3. How long did it take to get into the RN program at CSN

    christina731 replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I should add that it took me 3 semesters (Summer '11, Fall '11, Spring '12) to finish all of the classes/teas so I could finally apply. So from start to finish, my journey will be taking quite a while...

    I finished my last prerequisite in May '12, I took my teas right after and turned in my application in July '12 and was accepted into the ADN program in Oct '12. I started the program in Jan '13 and...

  5. Getting Past Squeamish Feeling

    christina731 replied to BigRed86's topic in General Students

    I too experience this when I see injuries and such. I really hope that it doesn't prevent me from doing my job. I think a person can become accustomed to seeing traumas with experience. It's not...

  6. Superstitions???

    christina731 replied to BeansMama's topic in General Students

    I almost forgot about something else! In the beginning of my first semester, I failed the dosage calc test (ended up with 100% the second time). After the failure, I went to my instructor's office for...

  8. Three Tips from a Former Student

    christina731 replied to GundeRN's topic in General Students

    You have made some very good points! However, my school does not allow you to clep out of any course that is required for their ADN degree. Kinda sucks

  9. Superstitions???

    christina731 replied to BeansMama's topic in General Students

    I have a necklace that I wore to my first nursing school exam and I just have to wear it to every single exam otherwise my world just might end I'm super nervous because we have a med calc test on...

  10. CSN and NSC equivalent classes

    christina731 replied to funone's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I should change that to history was super easy for me. Both of the instructors that I had were easy. I can't say that for all of the instructors. There a a ton of history classes so that makes a ton...

  11. Organizing for nursing school

    christina731 replied to azjen43's topic in General Students

    I have 2 assignments due so far and there's still a week before school starts for them to assign is more crap. I'm just annoyed because we don't have access to our online learning system yet so we...

  12. Organizing for nursing school

    christina731 replied to azjen43's topic in General Students

    Worrying about school when school starts would be great if I didn't have assignments due on the first day

  13. Has anyone discouraged you from nursing?

    christina731 replied to miko.'s topic in General Students

    Yes, the "counselor" at a college that I was attending for a short time. She took a look at my 3.2 GPA transcript and said "oh, you need a 4.0 GPA in all classes to even be considered for our nursing...

  14. ADN.

    christina731 replied to palamino98's topic in General Students

    I'm in the middle of an ADN program and I'm proud of it. Don't let the haters bring you down, especially not on this board. They don't know your area or what school you go to. I'm sure you did your...

  15. CSN RN Spring 2014

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    What are you guys using to study for the TEAS? That test scared the you-know-what out of me. I didn't pass it the first time....but I really didn't study. The second time I barely passed! I used the...

  16. Is it a MUST to be able to drive once you start nursing school?

    christina731 replied to futurenursekl's topic in General Students

    I couldn't imagine not having my own car. The closest bus stop for me is about 2 miles away and my school is about 25 miles away. It would probably take 2-3 hours to get to school by bus and some...

  17. Patient's responses to students during clinical days

    christina731 replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    On my first clinical rotation (LTC), my very first patient did not really like students. She didn't mind when I came in to do her assessment/vitals but when it came to med passes (which was probably...

    christina731 replied to funone's topic in Nevada Nursing

    christina731 replied to NICUnurse21's topic in General Students

  22. CSN RN Spring 2014

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Nope, not for me. I don't work during the semester and I don't have kids so I might be an exception but you cannot study 24/7. For 1st semester I had class on Tuesdays 0800-1400 and Wednesdays from...

  23. PT's that require a private room

    christina731 replied to RhodyLPNstudent's topic in General Students

    Several of the newer hospitals near me have all private rooms. So if you end up there, you get a private room by default. The site where I did my sub-acute rotation had 2 patients to a room and...

    christina731 replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

  25. Out of town clinical sites?

    christina731 replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    My first clinical site was about 35 miles away and it took me about 45 minutes-1 hour to drive. I had to be there at 0645 but since I'm paranoid about being late I would leave the house at like 0500...
