nursing program

Hello all! What would you guys prefer UNLV or CCSN? I am now debating whether I'd go to UNLV or CCSN for nursing program or even taking the pre-req's. How do you like your school? intructors? facilities?:)

I'm currently taking my prereq's at Nevada State College and scheduled to start my accelerated nursing program Fall 2007. Have you looked at only CCSN and UNLV? There's Nevada State, Touro University, and University of Southern Nevada also. With CCSN it takes two years just to get your associates degree after your prereq's are complete. But there is less of them. At UNLV you can go FAll, Spring, and Summer and finish 16 months after starting into your actual nursing classes with a BSN. I've heard that CCSN is the best when it comes to instructors and hands on classes, they also have the highest nyclex pass rate. I've heard some people are unhappy with UNLV and say that they didn't really get alot of support from their professors so they switched to other colleges. Nevada state was very helpful with me and I already have a bachelors and masters in another field so the accelerated program makes sense.

Thanks defromlv! I actually have a BS degree from my country. I will have to look at CCSN's accelerated program. I just registered at UNLV this summer and taking two classes for my pre-req. We'll see how it goes from there;)

Goodluck:)
