    For 101 your lecture, lab and clinical are bundled together in an option. You will have about 20 options to choose from depending on how many clinical sections they have. Don't even pay attention to...

    You can switch to part time IF there is space but that will add another semester to your workload. My advice for utilizing your time over the summer is decide on if and where you will decide to...

    The December portion is likely about care plans and the January portion is math. That's how she's set it up the past 2

    The book is written by the instructor and is only available at the bookstore. Well it's not really a book, it's an unbound stack of papers. It probably doesn't have a ISBN

    ATI is 130/semester if you're full time. I think it's 100/semester for part time. The test you will take on 1/15 will be included in the fee. You will get textbooks as

    Thank you slinkyheadRN. I forgot to mention the ability to retake! I had to retake my 101 and 115 math exams (missed 2 on each - passed the retakes with 100%) and I tell you what, I've never been more...

    Unfortunately they do not go over them to the extent that the toolbox class does. The instructor who teaches it has been trying to make it a requirement but she has been shut down by the head honchos....

    You have to wait until after orientation to register. You will get all the info then. You won't be registering for classes on your mycsn assigned time as long as you're a nursing student

    Toolbox was the best class that I have taken in nursing school. The instructor is the best and she teaches you the dosage calc math that you need to pass the tests each semester. If you fail these...

  11. What percentage make it?

    christina731 replied to mae0218's topic in General Students

    My original cohort had about 130 and we are down to 100 now 5 weeks from graduation. We did however gain about 20 people from the part time track that started the semester before

  12. What has been your favorite clinical experience so far?

    christina731 replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Students

    I'm with you about maternity. It was my least favorite so far (although I did enjoy c-sections because there was a cool doc on the floor who actually allowed us to scrub and assist). I loved ICU! That...

  13. What has been your favorite clinical experience so far?

    christina731 replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Students

    I just finished up my final clinical which was Advanced Adult/med surg II. We rotated through ICU, IMC and ED. It was definitely my favorite class so

  14. CSN Spring 2015

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The number of applicants is definitely going down. When I first became interested in CSN about 4 years ago they had over 300 people applying each semester with up to 160 accepted. I'm glad it's...

  15. CSN ADN program

    christina731 replied to katyc123's topic in Nevada Nursing

    You would need to check with either the nursing department or the limited entry

  16. CSN ADN program

    christina731 replied to katyc123's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Why not? It doesn't cost you anything but the paper and ink. The worst they can say is no and you try again the next semester. Wouldn't you feel terrible if you knew that someone with the exact same...

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    They instructors periodically send out emails regarding an opportunity here and there but yes, it's few and far

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    You should get the book list at your first orientation. All of those books will be needed for 1st semester and beyond so it's best to get them all but definitely start buying early! Haha I always have...

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I wouldn't read in advance because there's a good chance that you will forget what you need to know. Plus it's likely that you will not get any reading assignments until maybe a week before classes...

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yeah, 5 chapters is nothing! Most tests have much more than that like hundreds of pages. The nursing program is a different kind of challenging compared to biology courses. As SlinkyHead said,...

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm not sure if it's an advantage. I was just pointing out that it's a difference between the programs. I think it's asinine that NSC is doubling tuition for BSN. I remember when NSC was an...

  22. CSN Spring 2015

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    No, pay is the same for RN's. Now if you end up getting your MSN I'm not sure. What I meant was that tuition is cheap at CSN compared to other

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    First, let me preface with my opinion that NSC, UNLV, and CSN are all excellent schools and I am in no way bashing one program. I'm just stating my opinion. I graduate on 12/12/14. I have HEARD that...
