<Information about Touro Nevada>

U.S.A. Nevada

Published

hi everyone!

i got accepted to touro nevada today and wanted to know if any students/anyone knew any specifics about the program? i.e. class/clinical scheduling, academic work load, curriculum, and is as ridiculously as complicated/difficult as the faculty made it seem during my interview...i have said before that they made it seem way too tough or either really good, i am still not sure which one to go with! i am excited though and interested in any information, which anybody can pass on! i was told about this specific camp thing that they are doing right before the july start, what is that all about? i still have not been told too much info about it from the college.

well thanks for your insights!

Hi KK4YOU,

I don't think you need too high of a GPA, they list 2.75 as their minimum so as long as you meet that you should be okay. Of course, being as competitive as possible is a plus :) I was accepted really early when they started reviewing the applications. For November start they review their applications in April and was accepted around May. I had originally applied to the ELMSN, though, but that year the program ended so they transferred my application to the BSN program instead. Some people were accepted up to a week or two before classes began because of the rolling admissions!

Living in Henderson is pretty nice. I found a great apartment at a very nice price ($482) which is about 10 mins from school, 10-15 mins from airport and the strip and next to lots of good stores. The air here is very nice, too. You are starting in July, right? It will be incredibly hot when you get here. I visited during that time to look for apartments and the temperature went up to 117 degrees!

The move itself wasn't too bad. I drove from San Jose, CA bringing only my bare essentials and what else I could fit in my car. I think you will enjoy it here, TUN is an awesome school. When you begin I will be in my third semester so I'll see you around! So if you have any questions I'm here for ya.

And congratulations on your acceptance to Touro!

KK4YOU-

You're very welcome ^_^ Classes are M, T and F between 8:30-noon, and clinical/labs are W/Th (depending on which group you are in). Clinical is once a week so whatever day you have clinical, you won't be in lab and vice versa. So, if you have clinical on W you go to lab on Th. Clinicals are 6:30am-2:30pm, lab on W/R are 8:30-11:30. You will be in class/lab/clinical M-F, and pretty much finish by 12-3pm.

Remington Canyon Apts are very nice but extremely expensive. It is literally across the street from Touro, though, if you're willing to pay the extra money to stay there. I believe rates go from $750-850 for a one bdrm/one bath apt with a Touro discount. The place I am staying at is only $482 (with a 10% student discount) and 10min drive from school, 10-15 mins from LV Airport and the strip. I love my location since it's nearby everything, and the 10min drive goes by quickly.

Touro accepts applicants on a rolling admission basis so I'm sure you can still apply to the July start date if you are interested in that. I didn't know about the July start date (I told them I wanted the fall start which I thought was July, but was November) so I was a bit bummed because I could have started sooner.

hi empyreal,

wow thats great! what is the name of the apartment complex that you are at? i will not be working while i am in school, so i need the best deal i can get lol. also would you say that as long as you have a good gpa and passed the teas test you will most likley get it? i am just so excited, i hope i get in! talk to you soon! i will ask about july start date :).

I am at Wildhorse Estates. The person I went through is very nice about arranging the best deal. Also, mention my name, Lisa Nguyen as your referrer if you do go there. From what I heard the apt has stopped doing the 10% discount but she has been honoring it for those that I referred from Touro.

If you really want to start as soon as possible, why don't you see if you can still get admitted for the March 1 start date. It is in 2 weeks but I have a classmate who was admitted a week or two before classes began so maybe you'll be lucky. I also heard from my professors that the March cohort is smaller than mine so maybe they'll accept some more people. You'll get a four month head start =P

You're very welcome ^_^ good luck!

Hi Lisa, thank you for your advice? Have you heard of University of Southern Nevada? Did you apply for financial aid before you got accepted? Can you share with me on what step you take to take the TEas exam? What the percentage does Tour want you to pass the Teas exam.? Is there a lot of algebra math problem? Cuz right now i am reviewing my old algebra book. HOw did you prepare for the Teas exam? How is the class like? Is the professor nice ? Do they prepare the students enough for NCLEX exam? I am glad to know you are Vietnam. Please help me as much as possible. My email is [email protected].

I have heard of USN but I didn't apply there or looked into the school so don't know much information on that. I applied for financial aid after I was accepted; you need to be accepted in order to do that because the school is required to approve of your loans. For Touro, I heard you only need 60% to qualify.

This is a copy of a post I replied in another thread I wrote in:

When I took the TEAS, I wished I had studied conversions because they do ask a lot of questions on those (like kg to lb, tons, etc) so definitely take some time to look at your conversions. Also, know your English grammar. A lot of people suggest going to (http://www.testprepreview.com/teas_practice.htm) and I agree. The questions on those are very similar to the TEAS questions. You should also review basic sciences. I think if you do well on the questions on that website then you'll do well on TEAS.

At Touro, from the first semester, I believe they do train you on understanding and answering NCLEX-style questions because all the exams are based off of that styling of questions. It threw me off the first exam because I wasn't prepared but afterwards it was much better. I don't know if they prepare for NCLEX exam yet since I just finished my first but from what I hear they do. So far people from the class graduating this year have been passing their NCLEX so it looks promising.

Dear Ms. Nguyen,

As always, thank you for your response. It always nice to hear feedback from previous students. Should you suggest i should go in depth with algebra and chemistry and biology? I do have a question though, Touro require 2 letter of references, how can do i get one. I haven't been in school for a while, the only the thing i could think of is from family member that are in the health field and can type me up one. What do you think? Cuong

Hi Cuong,

I had my previous supervisor and a professor who I had anatomy with write me the letters. So, if you are taking any pre-req in progress maybe try to get a letter from that professor. I don't think family members are allowed to write letters of recommendation, but if they have someone who they work with and you know maybe they can. I wouldn't go in depth with those sections, just know the basics from general chem/bio and algebra. Have you taken a look at that website? That content is what the TEAS will ask you.

Hey everyone, I went to the website and couldn't find anything. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS, I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL!

I know the app deadline for the Nov entry, but how many times do they admit a year? Is there only one acceptance annually?

WHat is the repeat policy?
