Can you apply to lpn and rn at the same time? I don't have bio 224 or 251 so I don't think I have much chance of getting in the fall rn program but I figured I'd try anyway! But Im also considering doing Lpn to rn just to get started.

Do the online classes show any differently on your transcript than an in person class?

I'll be applying for fall 17 without 224 or 251. Hopefully I'll stand a chance!

What waivers?

I'm taking bio 189 at unlv this summer. Is there a way for me to register at csn for 223 before I'm done with 189? When i tried to add it,it wouldn't let me since it's a pre reg for it.

Good luck Melissa! I was brand new to the health care field last summer when I took CNA classes. I would suggest looking on youtube. They have videos for just about every skill you will learn!

How many points did you guys have?

Did you ever find out if they transfer? I'm interested in the same thing.

My Don pretty much told me "handwashing is the best way to prevent spreading infection" ugh. then why even put the patients in isolation if we're not going to treat them as such? I just wondered if legally they have to provide PPE when caring for those patients.

My facility has been out of ppe gowns for over a week. We currently have two patients in isolation for mrsa/herpes, and one for shingles. Nursing staff told us to cover with a hospital gown when we enter the room instead. Do I have a right to refuse these patients? I don't want to bring these germs home to my kids.

Hi! My family is considering a move to north or south Carolina due to my husband's job. I just started as a cna and I wondered what the salary is? What pays better long term care or hospital? Thanks!

I got the same negative reaction from nurses when I told them I was going to cna school. It really rained on my parade because I was so excited to start. I hope to eventually move on to RN but in the mean time I am finding a lot of purpose in cna work.

Would you mind sharing how many points you got in with?

Did you have expierence before they hired you? Is it high stress working with tiny humans?

Anyone a nicu or peds cna? Wondering if it's hard to get into those units?

Hazel were you able to find work right away?

Awesome thankyou! Do you keep a cell phone on you While your working? I have a galaxy note and I can't imagine it fitting nicely in scrubs...

Do you wear a watch? If so, what kind?

They didn't specify on colors or brands so I just got mine at the uniform place when I ordered my uniform. I don't think any color scrubs are allowed,we have to wear the uniform to all classes, but I will let you know for sure after I start. I'm getting really excited!

Anyone know what sites clinical are at?

I'm taking the summer program. get a stethoscope and cuff,and gait belt. The uniform is a custom top from campus club uniforms and navy scrub pants. Shoes white or navy. They give you a list of everything you need at orientation.

I'm looking for Chen to take online. Where are you taking it through?

Anyone know if NU pre reg's would transfer to CSN or NSC?
