    MikeyJ replied to HikingNinja's topic in Nevada Nursing

  2. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

    MikeyJ replied to kittyw's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not an NP (I am merely only a BSN student scheduled to graduate soon). However, I do have thoughts on this subject matter. I am acquainted with many NP's and many MD's -- and I 100% understand...

  3. Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

  4. Is CRNA a solid career?

    MikeyJ replied to Tyler1111's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Responding to this quote and to the orginial poster -- I've spoken with many MD/DO's and they all have expressed the fact that its not necessarily the amount of time it takes to finish undergrad, med...

  5. How Many Times Do You Have To Take A&P1 ?

    MikeyJ replied to juicy_jade's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my BSN program, they will not consider any student who has taken a course more than two times. Furthermore, they require that you get at last a 'B' in your science and math pre-req's. I couldn't...

  6. Overnight Aids in Hospitals--Positions???

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    What kind of work do you do right now in NY? I'm not trying to be discouraging, but just telling you the realistic facts of Las Vegas. There are 100's, if not 1000's of jobs available, so I am sure...

  7. Overnight Aids in Hospitals--Positions???

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Retail is farily easy to get into -- apply at a Macy's or a Dillard's (I would recommend Macy's over Dillard's). But any major dept. store will pay decent money. Casinos are extremely extremely...

  8. Overnight Aids in Hospitals--Positions???

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Firstly, have you ever worked nights and then went to school during the day? It is very very hard... especially if you have a harder schedule. It would be much more wise to get an afternoon/evening...

  9. How does a new grad get a job in this state?

    MikeyJ replied to alicet's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Is Sunrise just not hiring new LPN's, or are they not hiring new RN's

  10. Unlv Pre-nursing Gpa 2.5 Or 3.0????

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    What did they end up telling you? I am

  11. Help! Need student loans!!

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    This is the kind of question to ask a financial aid officer. Alot of your questions that are posted should truly be directed at the school itself. If I personally want accurate information, I always...

  12. Unlv Pre-nursing Gpa 2.5 Or 3.0????

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    3.0 to get into the nursing

  13. Pre-Nursing at UNLV--GPA questions??

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I don't mean to be pessimistic here (I am usually a huge optimist) but yet I like to be realistic. UNLV has changed their entire admissions policy and are admitting students based only upon their...

  14. How does a new grad get a job in this state?

    MikeyJ replied to alicet's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Are you a new RN, LPN, or CNA

  15. How does a new grad get a job in this state?

    MikeyJ replied to alicet's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Where are you at in Nevada? Vegas is jobs open left and right (especially Sunrise and Valley). I can't imagine them pushing new grads

  16. Some Questions

    MikeyJ replied to SBTLAWREN's topic in Nurse Management

    I am in the same boat as you -- I graduate May of 2008 with my BSN, and hope to find my way into nurse management/administration. Perhaps a CNO someday... :stone I worked at my county hospital for...

  17. Bored in clinical?

    MikeyJ replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

    I am not in the nursing program yet (I start in May 2007!), but as a requirement in one of our pre-nursing classes, we had to do a few shadowing experiences in a department of our choice. I decided to...

  18. NPs in Plastics

    MikeyJ replied to VegasNurse05's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't have any firsthand knowledge persay; however I have heard of NP's (not sure if they are acute or family) that have been employed in successful plastic surgeon offices. As far as I understand...

  19. Easy College Math Pre-req help!

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    As far as I understand they will still award the BSN if you already have completed your RN elsewhere. Here is the link to the RN to BSN program --> http://nursing.unlv.edu/2year.html From what I...

  20. Easy College Math Pre-req help!

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    There are remedial math courses at UNLV (actually, you may want to check that out because last time I heard, UNLV was doing away with remedial math courses below the 100 level; however, CCSN still...

  21. Banner Healthcare???

    MikeyJ replied to flaerman's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't live in AZ, but I know Banner is a magnet hospital, so that definitely says something about working there as a nurse.

  22. Med Math and Calculators

    MikeyJ replied to morahan's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am a student; however, our school does allow us to use basic calculators. As previous posters had said, it eliminates the chance of making a dosage error. I've never understood schools that restrict...

  23. Easy College Math Pre-req help!

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm confused by "easier math" -- what do you mean? You will still have to take College Algebra at UNLV, and I presume it should be just as difficult here. Wherever you take it, make sure you study...

  24. UNLV BSN Waiting List-how long??

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    UNLV no longer has a waiting-list -- they do an application process based on your G.P.A. (different than the points system at CCSN). So, depending on your G.P.A. will decide when you can be admitted...

  25. Ccsn-waiting Lists??

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    1000 applicants is a huge amount of applicants -- I think its crazy that that is the same scenario from all around the country. 124 spots each semester is actually a pretty large pool of students,...
