For anyone who's graduated from NSC or is currently a nursing student (accelerated/regular-track): ANY input helps!!!
I've been hearing a lot of bad things about NSC since late 2006, I also know a couple of people who have graduated last year from the school who still can't pass the NCLEX, I hear that the first time pass rates are in the '60's or 70's and the latest rumor i've heard from different sources is that, NSC is like a rotating door, they're just graduating people...... as far as passing NCLEX -- it's a different story! People r having a hard time even passing the nurse predictor test (big test they're supposed to take B/F graduating)?? ........................ Las Vegas sun doesn't really have any flattering things to say about NSC either....
Folks, need a little help here, any truth to this? Is University of southern nevada, tuoro university or apollo college any better? These schools also have low nclex passing scores.
Anyone wanna share their thoughts??? experiences??
Actually they just lost their accreditation (sp) this year due to the failure rate on the NCLEX. Idk what that means per say, maybe they can only work here now...
There is no such school as "Nevada State University."
Are you talking about "Nevada State College," perhaps "University of Southern Nevada", or "University of Nevada Las Vegas"? If so where are you getting this information?
Does any one in this thread know what the "nursing program-specific" classes are that count towards the GPA??? It says 2.5 for all coursework & 3.0 for nursing program-specific pre-reqs. It also looks like Biology GPA is separate??? Help me? Thanks!

I went to an advisor last week and asked the same question. You can print out your DARS on myNSC and it will tell you what you need and it totals your GPA. Also, a fun and unfortunate tidbit is that the 2011-2012 needs a minimum GPA of 3.25 and that they're only accepting 16 students per semester now.
