   Okay HUGE HUGE vent here. I found out today that aparently the nursing students have a really bad reputation within the biology department at my school. Now, i'll admit that there are a few whiny pre-rn students at my school, but it makes me sooooo...

3. UNLV pass rate on boards..

   CaterpillarGirl replied to blee1's topic in Nevada

   It used to be that you had to wait 3 years to reapply, but they changed that this year. Now if you don't get your B on the second try you're out for good. As for the wait list, the nursing advisor told me in October that there was a small wait list ...

4. Waiting Time??

   CaterpillarGirl replied to jess1998's topic in Nevada

   There isn't really a wait list at UNLV right now. Once you've completed your pre reqs, you are eligible o start the program. They base entrance on when you were admitted to the school of nursing. At most, I've heard that people may have to wait a ...

   CaterpillarGirl replied to blee1's topic in Nevada

   I'm at UNLV right now. The last time I saw a pass rate posted, it was 83%. However, since then the entrance requirements to get into their program have gone up. They require a 3.0 overall, as well as a 3.0 in all math and sciences. This isn't OVE...

6. Struggling with developmental Biology and may not qualify for student loan..

   CaterpillarGirl replied to JAW0172003's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Does your school allow you to switch to "auditing" the class? If it gets to that deadline and it looks like you're not going to pass, you can switch it over to audit, that makes it look like you were taking hte class for fun. You don't get credit, ...

   CaterpillarGirl replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks so much! I feel better today. My next lecture exam isn't untill the week after spring break, so I'll be spending my break with my nose in a book. My classes avg for the test was a 79%, so it helps me feel better that I was above that :)

   Hey everyone! I haven't posted since the beginning of the semester, but since we're all talking about our first exams... I got my score for my first lecture exam, and I only got an 82%. On the one hand, I'm pretty dissapointed in my grade, on the ot...

9. Nursing School roadblock?

   CaterpillarGirl replied to Doug85's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have you thought about taking other courses that might interest you? Are there any other gen-ed requirements of the university that you applied to? Go part time to the community college and take things that are interesting/fun.

10. Adults and ACT/SAT

    CaterpillarGirl replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Students

    I had to take my SAT's for math placement when I got accepted at UNLV. I never took them in highschool. I gotta say, the strangest part was being older than all the highschool kids that were there. Luckily, I'm only 24 and I lookyoung, so I didn't...

    Hi all!, I was watching a rerun of ER the other morning, and the nurses were talking about getting OT for working more than 8 hours in a shift. I'm still a student, but I always figured that if I worked 36 hours a week I wouldn't have overtime, rega...
