nsc does have national accredidation by ccne (same as unr) http://www.aacn.nche.edu/ccne/reports/rptaccreditedprograms.asp?state=nv&sfullname=nevada new schools go through growing pains to get their pass rates up. one big reason is because at first not many people knew about the program. they were admitting people that should have never been there in the first place because the pool of applicants wasn't large enough. their pass rates as of now have increased dramatically as far as i know.

That is not true. I graduated from NSC last year and I work in TX. I did not get my license in NV first- I applied in TX. Rumors are just that...rumors.

I got pregnant last June, graduated in August, moved halfway across the country and started a job as a new nurse in November when I was 5 months along. It was totally obvious I was pregnant, but was hired in L&D with no problems- the insurance also covered everything once I was eligible in 30 days. So, don't fret too much- check out your options, apply, interview, and say nothing until you have been presented with an offer. Once you have been offered the position, discuss your concerns with the unit manager and check with HR about health insurance benefits. Then you can decide. Don't forget the majority of nurses are women who are or have at one time been of child-bearing age. Many of them are mothers- they should understand. If they aren't willing to work with you and your pregnancy, then that should be a red flag about working for that unit/facility at all. Take care and CONGRATS on both!!
