Who among you guys are going to apply for the 2017 track? Either Spring or 2017!
What classes are u still doing? Have you guys attended the Health Orientation already? I'm about to attend mine tom! I'm transferring credits from other school, and looking at the degree sheet, I need to take 5 classes more so all the Prereqs and Gen Eds are all done (after the 5 class)
Lets help everyone whose trying to get in and might help each other out on whoever is trying to get in as well!
I turned in my application last week on Monday, and I should be speaking with the limited entry coordinator on the 6th to review my packet. I hope I didn't miss anything.
Can you send me the persons name and contact info so I can schedule me an appointment as wel?
How many points are you applying with? Do you have all the pre-reques done? I could not get into Bio 251 this semester so I will take it in the summer.
I met with the coordinator. i'm applying with 40 points. I have all the prerequisites done. You should still apply anyways! You could take 251 when you are in the program.
Thanks for the info. I have 37 points without Bio 251. I am going to apply anyways. I really don't want to take Bio 251 with my nursing courses that is why I was going to try for the summer.
I am actually currently enrolled in the Spring 2017 regular track and I can say that the workload is tremendous. I am not trying to discourage you, but only warn you. Biol 251 is not as rigorous as 223 and 224 however, with nursing 101 lecture,lab and clinical and all the reading/study time. Plus Pharmacology. Scheduling and study time are going to be priority. I do not work, or have children right now and it's still challenging for me. Everyone learns differently though. I would recommend applying to the program, and think about taking 251 at UNLV during the summer. You do not need to finish 251 until the 3rd semester. You should be able to transfer the credit over to CSN.
I am only telling you this because right now, I am living that dream. And I would hate to see someone get accepted only to fail out because they bit off more than they could chew. This is just a recommendation. If you think you can handle it then more power to you, but think about it. Failing in the long run is not worth trying to rush into the program. Again, please do not take this wrong way as I'm not trying to be mean. And do not hesitate to ask questions if you have any.
You are absolutely right!!! I am going to take the Bio 251 in the summer if offered. I tried to take it at NSC but you needed Chemistry 120 first Which I do not have. The deadline for March 1 nursing applications is for Fall admission (I think) so there will be time to take it in the summer. But my plan is to NOT take it during the nursing program.
Also do you work or have a family? I have both so I was thinking about doing the extended track. While taking pre-requs I have been paying off everything so that if I needed to quit my job I can.
No, I'm not working and I do not have kids. But there are plenty of people in the program that gave families. Even those that are pregnant! So don't let that discourage you. Extended track is recommended if you having a family and/or work commitments.
OMG pregnant too!!! SMH well having a baby doesn't stop the world but the amount of studying and stress you could be under might not be all that healthy even for those not expecting.
Yes, I know 2 women that are still in their first trimester. And already have kids under two. (Clearly unplanned, but it happens)
You will definitely need a good support system. Rather it be family, friends or both. Let them know how stressed out you will be beforehand. I made that mistake and ended up going off on a few people. Of course I apologized afterwards. Once I realized what was contributing to my behavior.
After the first 4 weeks, you should have your study habits down pact.
Look, if you know and understand how YOU learn and realize that nursing is based on critical thinking and rationale then you should be fine to take regular track. I just discourage taking additional classes with the nursing ones. But once you get into groove and knock out your first set of exams, you'll know.
I am applying for the fall 2017 term. I was wondering if you can give me like an overall "jist" of the first semester in the regular track program. Like schedule and stuff just so I can see if working a couple nights a week is an option. Whats the study load like and that kind of stuff!
