    baker1bv replied to soxgirl2008's topic in General Nursing

  5. CSN vs. NSC, please help.

    baker1bv replied to RRborromeo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Clinicals will start first semester no matter what school you go to. There is no way to guess where clinicals will be at, so live where you want. Every school in the valley has to sit down and decide...

  6. CSN vs. NSC, please help.

    baker1bv replied to RRborromeo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    It really depends on how many people apply, but above a 3.3 you should be in good shape with a strong TEAS score. I know last year you needed an even stronger score. You can retake the TEAS but only...

  7. CSN vs. NSC, please help.

    baker1bv replied to RRborromeo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    That is an excellent question that I don't know the answer too. I doubt the peer advisers know either. I would just try doing some research at each schools' website. Good luck in your hunt,

  8. CSN vs. NSC, please help.

    baker1bv replied to RRborromeo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yes they do. I used to be a peer advisor. I can probably answer most of your questions, otherwise just keep trying

  9. CSN vs. NSC, please help.

    baker1bv replied to RRborromeo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The one big advantage nsc does have (and there arent many) over CSN is its a bachelors program, and there are jobs that require a bachelors degree. Right now Siena is trying to become a Magnet...

  11. New grad rn in las vegas, nevada

    baker1bv replied to AlexisR's topic in Nevada Nursing

    FYI you will never have to take NCLEX twice as long as you already have an active license. You just have to file out a bunch of paperwork and possibly get fingerprinted again. If its something you are...

  12. Nevada State College

    baker1bv replied to meg_foster0618's topic in Nevada Nursing

    And yes the pass rate is still high for NCLEX, but if you speak fluent english the passrate is about 85% for first time test takers no matter where they went to school. Nclex is no where near as hard...

  13. Nevada State College

    baker1bv replied to meg_foster0618's topic in Nevada Nursing

    If you are all about getting in and out great then go NSC, but keep in mind it is getting harder and harder to get in to the accel program because of the number of applicants each year. ( I know I...

  14. Nevada State College

    baker1bv replied to meg_foster0618's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The school doesn't know how to treat instructors, so those who were worth their weight took positions elsewhere. In our class of 35 only about 25 finished on time. Another 4 or so will finish in Dec....

  15. Nevada State College

    baker1bv replied to meg_foster0618's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I graduated from the Nevada State accelerated program in Aug, and honestly, I am not sure I can recommend it to anyone. All the instructors who actually care about their students left and with good...

  16. Any colleges near Las Vegas with a waiting list?

    baker1bv replied to rainorshine978's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Nevada State College passed their provisional status and are fully accredited now. They are also quietly starting a part time program in the fall with anyone who got wait listed from the regular track...

  17. Temporary license...should I wait until I get my permanent?

    baker1bv replied to LvHaloRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    A member of the Nevada State Board of Nursing talked to my class about a month ago. Your temporary license is like a bridge from your interim permit (that she called mostly useless) and you permanent....

  18. CSN vs. NSC, please help.

    baker1bv replied to RRborromeo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hey, here is my two cents. I am a peer advisor with the college of nursing at Nevada State College, that being said, I don't get paid extra to recruit. There a couple of things you said I hear from...
