  1. NCLEX Resource Review - Kaplan, Hurst, UWorld

    ViperJustin replied to hmvassar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    UWorld (and the Mark Klimek notes) work. I just passed (after my third attempt) the NCLEX. I searched for the NCLEX Guide on AllNurses.com, rewrote all those notes, and used UWolrd. I also have a...

  2. CSN: 2 semesters done, 2 to go. A review so far...

    ViperJustin posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I haven't signed on much this last semester. It was hectic, to say the least. I figured that after two semesters, I'll give anyone (who cares) a quick review of the first two semesters of the nursing...

  3. CSN: 2 semesters done, 2 to go. A review so far...

    ViperJustin replied to ViperJustin's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The CNA program in CSN isn't doing too well. They need more students to go through the program and pass. So to get into the RN program, you're going to need the CNA certification first. It's just...

    ViperJustin replied to ViperJustin's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm lucky, because I'm retired Air Force. I don't need to work. On that note, I studied about 50 hours a week during the second semester and about 30 during the first. Lowest points was around 28 or...

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    You must attend all three. With 34 points, you should be just fine getting accepted. Acceptance calls happen within a few weeks every year, it all depends on applicants. The best thing to do is get...

    Oops. The first paper is based on a person of your choosing. But the person must be at least 70 years old. The second paper is based on one of your patients at the clinical

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yes. All of your clinical worksheets are based off of your actual patients. Same with both of your papers. So that's why you can't get ahead

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Lastly, NEVER be late or unprepared for clinical. So prep your information and all your supplies the night before so all you need to do is grab the bag and

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    It depends on your instructor. But, this is how it worked for me... First three weeks of clinical are ACE. It's a just like lab, but 6 hours long. You learn some very basic things there. But it's...

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    There's no study guides in fundamentals. You get one in pharm, depending on the instructor. Everything in Nursing 101 is testable, including stuff you learn in lab and clinical. BUT, the clinicals,...

  11. CSN Spring 2016

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    For me, pharm was the hardest. I had a difficult time with it. Then fundamentals. Get used to using the questions from your book (and the quizlet app) Those are the kind of questions that are in the...

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The only thing your points and GPA are good for is entry into the program. I entered with a 3.3ish (3.4, just looked at my papers) GPA and 38 points. It means nothing when choosing your class...

  13. CSN Spring 2016

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    All tests are multiple choice with a math problem thrown in (usually just one). I did not work, but I have two kids that I watch when my wife works. I find it nearly impossible to study with them. I...

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Well that's over... Grades are in, and I passed. I SHOULD have a B, but the extra credit points are all jacked up. I'll have to talk about it at my advisor meeting tomorrow. Second semester is just...

    If you have around 32 points, you're guaranteed to get in. Every person got in for Spring

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Ok. One test down... One to go. I took my first final on Monday. It was on Pharmacology. Im not going to go into any specifics, but pharm was difficult for me. I did pass, but only by a few...

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Labs were a lot of fun, overall. The main thing to know about labs is that everything is done "By the book!". So doing your assessments in lab will be different than doing it in clinical. Other...

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    If anyone is interested, I'll post up my opinions on first semester. What to expect, how much to study, etc... I'll post it up in two weeks. I'm done with labs and clinicals. If anyone has questions...

    Congrats everyone. At the orientation, take note on how to get your immunizations. You have a pretty small window (just a few weeks) to get it right. First semester update: I just completed both my...

    Youll find out during the first or second week. There's nothing you can do, now, about it. Also, it can change from semester to

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Since you don't need anything right now, I'd wait until the first orientation to find out. But there's a list in the student nursing handbook on the CSN website if you're too excited to wait. And...

    ViperJustin replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Nevada Nursing

    There isn't much you can do before orientation other than getting started on your shots, practicing a bit of nursing related math, and getting some supplies. I wouldn't buy anything unless you have at...
