Is the Nursing program in Nevada State College good?

Buyer beware, BSN · Dec 7, 2016

I am a senior in highschool and considering my options on what nursing shool to go to in Las Vegas. CSN is good since it's cheaper but they only offer associates. UNLV offers bachelors but is pretty expensive. The only middle is Nevada State College as it offers a bachelors as well being affordable. However, I have not heard a lot from their nursing program and don't know if it is good or not. I was also wondering if it is any different than that of UNLV in terms of difficulty.

Op: take a look at the (collegescorecard.ed.gov)

site. It has stats on most schools and it is sponsored by the Department of Education for authenticity and factuality.

If you want to be a nurse it's important to do it as cost effective as possible.

To achieve this end, a very good way to proceed is to do some research into what kinds of venues you may want to work in in the future. Find out if it's necessary to have a BSN to work at the job site of your choice. If you can be hired with an ADN that's great because if your employer offers tuition reimbursement you can obtain a BSN on their dime and save youself a ton of cash.

Today it's about a 50:50 split between ADN and BSN nurses in the workplace. A RN is a RN regardless of the academic designation.

But nevertheless, do your research so you can gear your education to what is required to present well in the workplace but also fulfill your academic asperations in the future.

The key once again is to avoid debt as much as possible so the fruits of your labor go to you and not the endless, onerous monthly loan payment that too many nurses today are tethered to.
