    christina731 replied to funone's topic in Nevada Nursing

  2. Hospital Clinicals

    christina731 replied to doxielover304's topic in General Students

    I had clinicals beginning on week 4 of fundamentals. It was at a long term care facility. We did pretty simple stuff like vitals, bed baths, transfers and such. I was there for 4 weeks and then I...

  4. CSN RN Spring 2014

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Peekaboosarah, someone in my class was accepted as an alternate with 9 points (per the Limited Entry Office) and they started the program when I did in January. So please, please apply! Even if you...

  5. CSN RN Spring 2014

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I remember when I was in your shoes a year ago and I'm about to start my second semester of the ADN program.. I love it! It's very challenging and you will work very hard but it will pay off when you...

  6. Paying for Course syllabus?

    christina731 replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    I pay those types of fees as well at my college. And they are even higher when the class is online. Maybe that's how I pay for my syllabi. I always called them "B.S." fees Although prior to my...

  7. First Day of Class!!

    christina731 replied to doxielover304's topic in General Students

    Hi :) First of all, CONGRATS! Getting accepted into nursing school is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud. You're lucky to have a good support system. It's very helpful during the stressful...

  8. Backpack for nursing school?

    christina731 replied to Lollipops's topic in General Students

    I have a Jansport backpack with wheels and I really like it. I don't care for e-books and often have multiple classes in one day so I need to carry several textbooks/notebooks/snacks/essentials etc....

  9. Paying for Course syllabus?

    christina731 replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    I go to a state college and I don't pay for my syllabi. The instructors post them online and it's up to you to print it. So far I've taken fundamentals and pharmacology and the syllabi for those 2...

  10. How many people are in your nursing class?

    christina731 replied to Kskar91's topic in General Students

    My school accepts about 130 students per semester. I'm going into my 2nd semester and I heard that we lost about 1/3 of my class! I was shocked to hear that! But I think many people thought that they...

  11. CSN RN FALL 2013

    christina731 replied to mrsmommy32's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I would double check with the limited entry office to make sure it's ok to see your advisor after you apply. I think that may be a requirement before you apply. As far as the HS info, I'm not sure...

  12. Big Decision--last minute opening

    christina731 replied to cecile9155's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say it's crazy to say yes. Your husband and your finances are more important than getting an early start. I couldn't imagine having that much on my plate when I started my program. As long as...

  13. What type of rotations did you go through in nursing school?

    christina731 replied to sevenup0307's topic in General Students

    1st semester was Intro consisting of LTC for 4 weeks and sub-acute for 6 weeks. 2nd semester is med/surg I and mental health. 3rd semester is L & D and Peds. 4th semester is med/surg II and...

  14. When do you start your fall class?

    christina731 replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I'll be starting my 2nd semester on 8/26. I'll be taking med/surg I and mental health. Both classes have a lecture, lab and clinical

  15. Already have a BA and want to pursue BSN - which programs?

    christina731 replied to aheadofthegame's topic in Nevada Nursing

    CSN has a great science department. You will learn a ton if you complete your pre-reqs there! I always hear about CSN's A&P/Micro being tougher than other schools which (to me) means you learn...

  16. Already have a BA and want to pursue BSN - which programs?

    christina731 replied to aheadofthegame's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hi, I am currently a student at CSN's ADN program so I may be a bit partial :) but here's my (long) story: I wanted to be a nurse for many years and after high school in Las Vegas (I graduated in...

  17. Clinicals and religious observances?

    christina731 replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    In my program, on your first absence (regardless of the reason, whether it's car trouble or emergency brain surgery) from lab or clinical equals a 3% deduction in your overall grade for the class...

  18. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    christina731 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    So far I've only had 2 rotations so I don"t have much of an opinion. One in LTC and one in sub-acute rehab. I can say that I do not want to work in LTC. I would consider sub-acute/rehab if the...

  19. College OR WIDE RULED PAPER?

    christina731 replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I like wide ruled because I have gigantic writing. I'm also picky about the size...it must be 8.5" x 11". I can't stand the tiny sheets that are smaller than regular copy paper. I like to keep my...

  20. What street clothes do YOU wear in nursing school?

    christina731 replied to bluestorm's topic in General Students

    For my program I usually wear capris/jeans, a decent (as in not revealing) top and flats or sandals to lecture. On days that I have lab, I have to wear scrubs and sneakers of any color/style. Clinical...

  21. CSN RN FALL 2013

    christina731 replied to mrsmommy32's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I was told by the nimrod at bookstore to not go by what the website says. Apparently that info reflects what their warehouse stock is, not the specific store. Who the heck knows. I don't trust...

  22. CSN RN FALL 2013

    christina731 replied to mrsmommy32's topic in Nevada Nursing

  23. How much are you paying...

    christina731 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    My school charges about $100/credit hour. So for the 11 credits I'm taking in the Fall, it's right around $1100 with all of the fees for this and that. I can't complain at all. I'm in an ADN program...

  24. In the middle of summer break... 2 semesters left

    christina731 replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    I'm the opposite. I cannot wait to go back to school and get back into my routine. I've had a lousy summer and my work schedule is different every week and I love routines so it makes me a bit nutty...

  25. Better 1st job: Summerlin or St. Rose?
