I am pretty sure that my cohort picked our classes during the second orientation. I think they gave us the book list at the first orientation. Sometimes, people from previous semesters will sell their books on the fb group called CSN Nursing Rocks.

I don't know of anyone specifically who took lab & lecture in the same day, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. I highly recommend getting to know your classmates. If someone else is in the same boat, they might be willing to work something out that saves you both some $...you watch their child while they go to class and they'll watch yours while you go to class.

Take the toolbox course, but otherwise...enjoy your summer! If you're working, try to pick up a few extra shifts now...while you can. If you plan to spend $2000-$2500 per semester, that would be enough to cover books, tuition, and supplies. It's possible to spend less...if you have time to shop around.

Congratulations, alybreezy!

Calls went out April 20th last year. If you don't recognize the number, answer your phone anyways. I almost didn't answer because I thought it was too early for it to be CSN nursing. Congratulations in advance! I can't wait to meet you all soon. Remember to check out CSN's Student Nurses Association. They're on fb. Look for CSN SNA.

Currently the fb pages for any of our nursing classes are student-run, so each new class takes it upon themselves to create one. Some faculty members frown on & even discourage fb, but not all of them. So, just be careful & use discretion with what you post online. Even private fb groups aren't always private. 😉 Just some friendly advice. I hope you find this information useful. 😊 It is given with intentions of peace and love. ✌🏻️❤️

Congratulations to those who already received their call today. Just some friendly advice that someone in another thread gave...if you know calls are going out, it's best to avoid calling in because it ties up someone who could be calling one of your future classmates. BTW, whether you received your call or not (yet)...please consider coming to the SNA meeting today @ 3pm, room K-101, West Charleston campus. It's potluck, and there will be a special guest speaker. I think you all might enjoy it. Student Nurses Association is for those in the RN, LPN, and CNA programs. Pre-nursing students can also join. It's a great group of people! I hope to see you all there! PS - you can have your phone on & sit near the back so you can exit easily. It's a student-run organization, so kinda casual.

I took BIOL189 in summer, while working FT. It was hard, but I earned an A (barely). I also hadn't taken a science course in about 8 years. My suggestion...don't take the lab that starts 10 minutes after the lecture ends. Give yourself more prep time before the lab.

Thank you, MallysMama! That's exactly what I thought. I am so glad I've been working on strengthening my core and getting in better shape before I start the program! Even if they did have lift teams, it's good for my health. But, this gives me even more reason to stay committed to getting fit. I appreciate your help!

Hi, Wifeyhero! Can you confirm the fb group for Fall 2015 cohort? Facebook group called "CSN Nursing 2015-2016" says, "This group is created for College of Southern Nevada Nursing Students who are beginning the program Jan. 2015 and graduating Dec. 2016." Please let me know if I need to look under a different name. Thank you!

Congratulations Wifeyhero!

I noticed that CSN's Student Nurses Association page on fb shows they are having a meeting tomorrow afternoon. I am going to try to go and see what it's all about. Has anyone else already joined and/or been to any of their meetings?

Congratulations ginasp88 and Rmreickmann!

Congrats compumasta, ViperJustin, and guessnikki!!!

Just got the call at 10:15am today, April 20th...two weeks earlier than expected, so I was completely surprised!
