I kept seeing the ad on pages while surfing the web and I kept thinking, hm, maybe they are calling their 18 mo program accelerated b/c it is 18 mos straight through unlike the traditional 4 semester program. But, curiosity got the best of me and I c...

Thanks. I was kind of curious who would be in the class with me (as in what intended majors). Your info helps. I am taking chem 110 and Psc 101 (distance) this term. Four kids 12 and under and I am already tired every day without taking any classes...

What Chem do you have to take? I decided against Nursing and am taking Chem 110 so I can apply to the CLS program and I have been trying to figure out who else has to take that class. Way back when I went to college the first time, the equivalent o...

Definitely check the box indicating you are applying for a limited entry program. I think the credits coming from a known, in-state school will help you a lot. I had a bunch of old credits from out-of-state (and I would not have even submitted that t...

Good luck to all of you - hope this week goes by quickly. And for anyone reading this but still needing to take pre-reqs next term for applying next year, the Spring 2011 schedule lookup is now available so you can start planning out your course sele...

mangoey - Once they have your unofficial transcripts they can look through them and let you know what else you might need. That was part of the telephone call I had with an advisor. The TEAS was pretty easy (considering you have taken college math, e...

wow that sounds pretty painless. Are you taking it as a UNLV non-degree student? I'll have to check how difficult (or not) it is to get registered and take the class there vs. taking PSC 101 at CSN.

That is the whole class? I'm going to have to look at UNLVs schedule. I am likely still going to need NV constitution for my alternate plan and I was just going to take it at CSN distance ed next term. Would have taken it this term but for goodne...

My husband went to Town Square the other night and liked The Yard House (I think that is what it was called). So there are places off the strip that are fun. Town Square looks like a nice place to go hang out.

What is annoying about the strip ... #1 is the traffic. Don't go near the strip unless you have to. We got off at Tropicana and parked at NYNY which is right there at the exit and my husband was like "well that is as far as I ever want to drive on ...

Wow lucky you guys. My transcript eval was logged as received on July 20th, and I am still waiting for my eval to be done. (I have a bachelor's degree and am not applying until spring 2011 for fall 2011 so maybe that is what is taking so long). At t...

I think with the cost of USN the applicant pool is substantially smaller than for CSN and NSC. I have a 3.73 and got a 94 on my TEAS and was pretty much told as long as I get my app in early in the rolling admissions cycle for the ABSN I was rather ...

Hi 1mac - It was not a full interview. It was more of a screening at first - she wanted to know why I was interested in the program, how I felt about the online format for the didactic portion, etc.... Once I gave logical and intelligent answers (LOL...

I am trying to figure out what the different programs have for their clinical hours. I know that certain areas, like community health. are going to have different hours than a regular hospital shift, but I am just trying to get a general idea of who ...

The first cohort is October. I know they are waiting for some approval for VA funding for their ABSN program b/c I mentioned using some GI Bill money to help offset tuition. They have four starts per year for the ABSN. What I have also learned is cl...

thanks. Yeah I was thinking of part time as well. Four kids.... and I have to see what my husband's work schedule will be like when we get to LV this summer. We don't know how much travel his job will be (seriously, whether he will be gone 1 mo per...

Way back when I was in LPN school (that one semester) we started our clinicals in a LTC caring for the residents who could not do anything for themselves at all, so turning q2h was the first thing we were told we had to be sure of. I still remember m...

Good luck! I thought there was another thread about USN on here that talked about interviews. You might try looking again - it did not have interview in the title but there was a discussion somewhere in the thread about USN interviews. I think I rem...

Well, I am not in yet, but if you look at the curriculum you will see that you rotate through various settings as a student so you will probably spend time on medical and surgical floors, possibly do some basic skills at first in a nursing home, and ...

Hey guys I am doing a telephone "advising" interview - the appt where they go over your unofficial transcripts to give you an idea of what should transfer and what else you may need to take, and where you can ask questions about the program. This is...

Where I moved after college (my husband is in the Air Force) the hospital system in our small town used RNs to do the community health classes and outreach. There really was not a whole lot of opportunity there - where I live now, which is where I g...

Thanks for the inspiring words Jennifer. I left the pre-BSN track the first time in college to major in community health education (boy do I wish I had known back then the BSN was exactly what I really needed). Now I am considering going back for th...

no no...the accelerated is 14 mos not 18 mos. Its a new program. labs are in person. Only theory is online. You go to the lab for scheduled labs and to the campus for exams and presentations. Clinicals are, as usual, in local hospitals - according ...

is there any way you can schedule yourself not to work the night before clinical? This way you could get to bed by 830/900 and get up at 330 and get to the hospital at 5. maybe even a half-hour of prep, get up at 4. I think you should embrace the s...

I had a fellow classmate have the same exact problem happen after a long exam in Growth and Development Across the Life Span. She managed to catch herself about halfway to the floor b/c the desks were set up in columns so she was in an aisle between...
