  1. Unlv 16 Month Bsn--is It Possible To Work???

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    ANII? What does that stand for? It is probably equivalent to what we call "NAPs" here in Las Vegas. NAP = Nurse Apprentice. Nursing students here in Las Vegas are able to apply for a NAP position...

  2. Management on Decline?

    MikeyJ replied to MikeyJ's topic in Nurse Management

    I think she was speaking in general. I have heard from a lot of people (both in nursing and out of nursing) that it is hard for women to move up the administrative ladder because of their at-home...

  3. Unlv 16 Month Bsn--is It Possible To Work???

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks Reno! I am sooooo excited! :) I have worked so hard to get to this point, that I just want to start the darn program and get cracking. I look at all of my friends who have all entered the...

  4. Skinning The Kitty!!

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Eeewww.. I can only imagine the smell you had to endure! I never actually had to dissect a cat. The head guys of the Biology department felt that there were other animals that were more beneficial...

  5. Lower Pay In Dr.'s Office????

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    However, if you like the clinic atmosphere, there are plenty of options still available. For example, there is always public health (usually the pay is a little lower, but not drastically low, and...

  6. Unlv 16 Month Bsn--is It Possible To Work???

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am in the same boat as you. I have always had to pay for my own education and living expenses, as I have not lived with my parents since my starting of college 4 years ago. During this time I have...

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    You obviously didn't read my original post or my other postings. Good luck to

  8. Biol 189 @ Ccsn

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Furthermore, where have I ever been condescending to anyone? If you were referring to my orignal reply to the OP (regarding being able to pass any class), then I came off wrong. What I was originally...

  9. Biol 189 @ Ccsn

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Talk about making assumptions -- re-read your own post. First, I have nothing against CCSN and never did I imply so. Never did I speak about CCSN"s nursing program. I was simply speaking about...

  10. las vegas help

    MikeyJ replied to wannabenurse2002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I currently live in Vegas and I enjoy it. I technically reside in Henderson though. The school system is pretty sad, but it has a lot to do with parenting -- unfortunately most of the population here...

  11. Ccsn-waiting Lists??

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    USN has been trying to acheive accreditation for sometime now, but they are constantly denied. Furthermore, their tuition is ridiculously expensive. They are usually the school that accepts students...

  12. Lower Pay In Dr.'s Office????

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    A clinic (physicians office) will almost ALWAYS pay less. It just has to do with the fact that a physician cannot afford to pay his personal RN staff what a hospital can afford. It comes down to...

  13. Bio 189 At Unlv --waived??

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    It cannot be waived -- it is a requirement for the UNLV School of Nursing. I had asked the same question to my nursing advisor and she said, "the Biology department can waive it if it is a pre-req for...

  14. Unlv 16 Month Bsn--is It Possible To Work???

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Its the same here at UNLV -- you go 16 months straight through. Our BSN program at UNLV is titled "accelerated" because you are able to finish your BSN in less than the typical 4 year bachelor degree...

  15. Ccsn-waiting Lists??

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    CCSN is the Community Colleges of Southern Nevada. CCSN does not offer a BSN -- they only offer an ADN. Here in Las Vegas, the only accredited BSN programs are UNLV (University of Nevada Las Vegas)...

  16. Biol 189 @ Ccsn

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    One other thing -- ask a medical school what they think of community college classes (particularly pre-req's for med school -- bio, chem, organic chem, & physics). Medical school admission...

  17. Biol 189 @ Ccsn

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I spent 2 years at a community college taking a wide-spectrum of courses (business, science, fine arts, humanities, etc.) and walked out with a 4.0. Community college courses may not always be...

  18. Young -- should pursue NP or MD?

    MikeyJ posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am sure this question has been answered in previous posts, however, I never came across one that really answered my specific situation. I am still young (22 yrs old) and am finishing up my BSN...

  19. Biol 189 @ Ccsn

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Goto http://www.ratemyprofessors.com and look up any CCSN professors. I just looked one up and most of the comments imply he is a tough teacher, but with a little hard work, it is possible to get an...

  20. Biol 189 @ Ccsn

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Sorry if I had implied that you don't try or didn't have common sense -- I wasn't trying to portray that. I was trying to say that my common sense would tell me that it is possible to pass a class....

  21. Biol 189 @ Ccsn

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I didn't take this class, but I must use common sense and tell you that it is possible to pass it. If you have heard from people telling you, "oh my god, don't take that professor.. you will not...

  23. Nursing Clinicals--how Long????

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am not trying to be rude at all when I say this, but a great deal of these questions you ask can be answered by doing some quick searching online. :wink2: In regards to your question, it will...

  24. Las Vegas Nursing ?'s Help! Thanx!

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am not sure what you are asking exactly about pay in NV compared to NY. I don't understand what "criteria" you are speaking of. In regards to economy, I am not sure where you got the notion that Las...

  25. Ccsn-waiting Lists??

    MikeyJ replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    From responding to your other questions, I now realize that you are only a pre-nursing student (as am I -- I start the program at UNLV summer of 07), so I'm not sure why you are stressing about where...
