i got into university of southern nevada's 18 month accelerated bsn program. this is an unusual program which allows transfer students to get their bsn in 18 months with only 3 weeks off. this private university is accredited by the nlnac and are approved by the [color=#003399]northwest commission on colleges and universities. unfortunately they are still under provisional approval by the nevada state nursing boards until they have 80% pass rate on the nclex.
my questions:
1. once i have my bsn from university of southern nevada and pass the nclex in california, will this allow me to get licensed in california and work without any additional school or tests?
2. will i be able to return to a california university to get my masters in nursing, provided that i recieve my bsn from university of southern nevada?
i can't get the ca nursing boards to answer their phone or an email.

You're really going to have to get your answer from the CA BRN. It must suck that they're difficult to reach.
Looking at the NV BON page, it states that graduates from schools with provisional approval will be eligible for NV licensure, but to check with other states for their licensing requirements.
