    christina731 replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Nevada Nursing

  5. CSN how many drop out 1st semester?

    christina731 replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Nevada Nursing

    There really isn't an average number but my I'm in 4th semester and my cohort lost the most during and after first semester so you might have a good chance if they accept you as a transfer. I believe...

  6. Do CSN max financial aid petitions work?

    christina731 replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Nevada Nursing

    It never hurts to try. All I had to do was write a letter, meet with an advisor and drop off paperwork at financial aid. I was lucky enough to receive 2 grants for my final semester. I did all of my...

    christina731 replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Are you referring to the fact that you have already received the maximum dollar amount of financial aid? Or are you referring to maximum credit allowance? Because I had to submit an appeal to FA...

  9. Do you cry a lot in nursing school?

    christina731 replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I cried twice at school. Both when I failed dosage calc tests. I failed both by one dang problem because of a stupid error. On what planet does 5g = 500mg?!?! Same thing happened again the semester....

  10. CSN Spring 2015

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I received my call on a Thursday and I had to be at school the following Wednesday to sign. If I wasn't there (we had almost all day) I forfeited my spot. I do believe that people who were out of town...

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    189 and 223 are the only classes that matter for GPA. 224 and 251 matter for points and I have seen students that have been accepted without. My advice is to apply once you have all of the...

    christina731 replied to Shantinaa's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Get a BSN. The market is flooded with new grads now and you need something more to stand out what school did you go to? I'm about to get my ADN from CSN in December but I'll be enrolling in an RN-BSN...

  14. Pearson Vue Nclex Results Trick, Holiday Weekend

    christina731 replied to Mesiam's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can always dispute the charge on your credit card if they do charge you after you've passed. It's not like you're stiffing Pearson Vue since you didn't get anything out of it (taking an actual...

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Get yourself used to driving far now. You will have to go to Cheyenne for several classes. Clinicals are also held anywhere in town. I've driven up to 40 miles each way to some

  16. CSN Spring 2015

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

  17. CSN Spring 2015

    christina731 replied to mamacruz87's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I only use toolbox and whatever they provide me for each class. They will offer it over winter break and it literally saved my butt. I would not have ever passed a math exam without this. If you can't...

  20. Placement hours- what is better?

    christina731 replied to May110's topic in General Students

    I would definitely do 12's if I could. In semesters 1-3 we did 6-7 hours shifts. Now in 4th semester we do 10-12 hour shifts. I felt like we were always missing out with the short shifts and think...

  21. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

  23. Nanda diagnoses and care plans

    christina731 replied to christina731's topic in General Students

    I kind of figured that it was nonsense which is why I summoned your advice on this anonymous board before I sounded like a total idiot to my instructor! Haha. I think this is definitely a case of...

  24. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    christina731 replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

    I have a Littman Classic II SE and I love it! It's pink and has my full name and stars engraved on the bell. I don't think color matters when it comes to theft because thieves will steal no matter...

  25. Nanda diagnoses and care plans

    christina731 replied to christina731's topic in General Students

    Sorry Esme I should have been more specific. By "we" I mean the profession not "we" as in my school. I don't know why these people are saying this. I highly doubt that the nanda people will do away...
