   Getgoing replied to Getgoing's topic in Nevada

   Hi beagle75, I'm assuming you've already asked the NSC SON staff about switching. If you haven't, you might ask them if it's even a possibility. Let me just tell you up front that what worked for me might not work for you. Some people have to study a...

6. Need advice on becoming an RN in California

   Getgoing replied to alybabamama's topic in Career Support

   Kind of a stretch - but you could possibly move out of state. In Vegas, we have CSN for an associate degree (FT and PT programs), NSC for BSN (ABSN, BSN Full Time & BSN Part-time), or UNLV for BSN. You'd pay out of state tuition until you get re...

10. From Business Degree to BSN

    Getgoing replied to scu51lly's topic in ADN/BSN

    Do a little cost-benefit analysis. Factor in opportunity cost. If you can afford the financial hit, go for it. I have a previous business degree, and worked in sales, project management, etc. I started taking science pre-reqs when I was 35. I recentl...

    Getgoing replied to Getgoing's topic in Nevada

    @pompano I'm not sure what the avg gpa or score was for this cohort. My guess is if you had above 3.5 gpa and scored above 85% on teas you likely got into the accelerated program. I know 5 people I believe fit that criteria and got in. Regular and ...
