Hi all you Las Vegas Peeps!!!!

Hi, I just came across this thread. There are various RN programs here that fit different needs. I myself was at first trying to get into the College of Southern Nevada program. I even have 28 points to apply. It goes by a point system. However, my plans have changed now. I want to get a Bachelor's Degree to join the Air Force as a nurse. For CSN, I heard from many people, even though it's a junior college, it is by far the hardest nursing program in the Las Vegas. Some people want to go there and not want to go there for that very reason. There are some Universities like USN (University of Southern Nevada), Touro University and UNLV to get a Bachelor's degree and higher. Take note, UNLV does not take any science classes less than a B. Another option is Nevada State College with also a Bachelor's program. My mom (graduated from a community college long ago) told me that the private universities might be easier to get through, because they might give you more help and more leniency. You are paying a lot of money to attend them. Apollo and National are private colleges with associated degree programs CSN is very competitive at the moment and plus I heard the program is no joke, but I heard that they do produce the best nurses here in Vegas.

hi everyone!!!! ok, i've been going to school part time to get into an rn program for the last couple of years now. i have a new found motivation to finish, because i plan on joining the air force as a commissioned officer/nurse. i just finished 4 classes this last summer!!! yay!!!! so, i go to a local university yesterday to possible talk about getting into their spring nursing program, and the counselor says with my transcripts, i should have no problem getting into the march program. she says all i need now is the application process and 16 more credits. i need these courses: -4 credits of natural sciences -3 credits of humanities -3 credits of nutrition -3 credits of stats -3 credits developmental psych for the 4 credits - natural sciences - i have a choice of these classes: -geol 101 & 103; -phys 110, 151, 152, 180 & 180l, 181 & 181l, 182 & 182l - ast 101 & 105, 103 & 105; -geog 103 & 104 what would you recommend me to take? i am leaning towards a physics class, because i still need to take the teas exam. maybe that will be useful towards the teas? also, i do work part-time, and i do not want to be overwhelmed. would you recommend me taking a possibly easier class like astrology with a lab or physics? it has to be 4 credits, and i am very undecided. hopefully i can get some advice form some of you winners (health care people)!!!! thanks for any response. i look forward to being part of this community! =) lasvegasguy
