University of Southern Nevada

Updated Mar 28, 2009 at 09:59 PM by vegas2009

A little inquiry about USN in Henderson. Any past or current students in here? Please share your thoughts, experiences and concerns, any information is appreciated.

I am interested in applying for the fall 2009 semester. I've recently just started the process in applying there, I am a little lost in the application process as well. Any help will do. Thanks, K.

Pretty new school, they just accepted their 5th class I beleive. You have to get a 90% and above on every exam, every assignment, absolutly everything you do. Their schedule is a block program, you take one class and focus on that for a few weeks, pass it and move on. So in a way its good because you graduate with a 4.0....Are you already in the program? Sry to answer your question....after you submit your app, you get an interview with 2 professors and 1 student, you also get a tour the same day...then afterwards they mail you a letter letting you know if you got in or not. THey are also requiring the teas test now. Once you send the letter back saying you will attend (can't remember if you have to send a deposit or something) you get all the documents in the mail (busy paperwork!), attend orientation and start school a couple days later! Tough program, they are still ironing out all their wrinkles, it is a new school so have patience but also look at other schools as better options.

Thanks nvbsn2b. I've had change of plans now, I didn't apply for USN. I called that number they had on their website and commercials to call for inquiries three times. I left messages, contact numbers, etc. I even emailed the contact lady twice, to the school of nursing but she NEVER replied. I hadn't had any callbacks at all. So, I figured they weren't interested in new applicants. I don't like to deal w/ schools that don't follow up and frankly, it's a little rude. Sad really, seems like there's less people applying to nursing schools now. I guess they don't need the $$$$? (that's why they don't do callbacks/follow-ups) . . . Oh well.
