I think you have a really good chance!! The pool of students varies each semester so it really depends on other's scores as well. It's a competition of whom gets the highest scores. It is up to you whether you want to give it another try and aim higher. I'm not sure if there is a penalty in taking Hesi A2 twice. I suggest you call UNLV PreNursing Dept. But Im almost positive you'll get in!!! Good Luck!!

Yeah. I think that they should let you off since it was 10 years ago, I mean, here in Cali, they don't even accept Science courses that's taken 5 years ago, so anyone are allowed to take it again and do better this time around..

Great to know!! Thank you so much! 25K sounds fairly reasonable. I thought that it takes 6 months to register for NCLEX? can we register for NCLEX 6 months in advance before we even get our diploma? Please tell me how you got the Apprentice Nurse job?..

Yeap, I've heard about the shortage, and the budget cut, but California has already enforced all its budget cuts. Programs had been cut. My plan was to start nursing school this Spring 2010, but I all the Universities were canceled!!!... Ruined all the plans and efforts I have done!.. I'm glad it happened though, b/c then I would have never thought about UNLV! with their perfect 16 months accelerated program, I couldn't ask for anything better!! it's a nice school too! =) Im from Cali and will be going to UNLV for the program. And I guess with all these issues, I'll probably want my license in Cali as well.. Hopefully by next year, everything gets better. I saw some scholarships that gives you money for College, as long as you promise to work Fulltime for 2 years in Vegas?!!...

Those were the deadlines.. Im almost positive W counts as a repeat.. hmm... you should really try to call the pre-nursing dept. If W count as a repeat and you got a D on the last one, then that makes you ineligible. As far as competition... I dont know yet b/c I dont really know the application pool this sem. I can tell you my statistics, however. I got all A's and 1 B in all prerequisites that's listed on the 2nd link I sent you (Score Calculation worksheet.) All were taken @ first attempt. HesiA2 score: 90 yes.. I got in the Program and I will start this May.. ummm.. if you're ineligible now, I'm not sure if you can still apply.. Im not sure if there's any time rules, but I read somewhere in this website that once you're not eligible you can longer apply...

Thanks! how was the program? How soon were you able to find a job or pass NCLEX? I was curious and I checked your previous posts and you have 60K off of loans? is that from when you started College or Nursing Program?.. it's my first semester and I already owe 6K.... I'm beginning to worry b/c I'm an out of state student, and a single mom.... I guess once you start working, loans won't be so bad.... and yes, I recently found out about the Summer Aid too.. I'm so excited to start the program!! =D

it should be on the application form itself. Here's the link: http://nursing.unlv.edu/pdf/bsn%20pdfs/application_form_SON.pdf July 1for spring , Nov. 1 for Fall, Mar. 1 for Summer If you repeated A&P, Micro, Nurs 299 (which is Nutrition and Human Dev.), and Math more than twice and did not achieve a B, then you are ineligible.. You can contact the prenursing advisers.. This should all be in the website. You can call or email them too.. Here's the link for admission criteria/scoring guide http://nursing.unlv.edu/pdf/bsn%20pdfs/hesi-a2_calculation_worksheet_08-09.pdf

The deadline is actually under the BSN page not the pre-nursing. Go to BSN link then click Application Process. Being a CNA doesn't add any points in your score though, unlike in California. The program is competitive. It's all about GPAs and scores. Make sure u do well on the HesiA2 since you repeated A&P. 3.5 Sounds really good!! Goodluck to you! =)

hahha! Wow! I'm happy for the both of us! yay! my session is Mar.22 so I guess I wont see u this month.. keep in touch tho! =) take care now!

I spelled your name wrong... hehe.. sorry. =D too excited.

OMG! Alexies!!! I just got Accepted in the PROGRAM!!!! OMG!!!!!!! Im sooooo happy I'm in Cloud 9!!!!!!! omg! omg! lol.. I can't stop smiling!.. when I got the call, I nearly jumped over my head and screamed like I just won the lottery! lol.. Please let me know how your application went! I hope to see you @ the information session!! I can't wait to wear that gorgeous red uniform!!! HAHA! I have to work as well,, and.. I have a 4 month old baby to take care of.. hehe..

haha! That would be a thrilling kind of stress!.. I don't mind stressing for 16 months as opposed to 3 YEARS! here in cali! pfft. hehe.. can't wait! =']... sighhh...

Yes. I read it somewhere in the website last year.. Some hospitals offer scholarships to nursing students. For some reason I can't find it anymore.. Try calling the dept.

You can find it on the website. nursing.unlv.edu ... you'll need Grammar, A&P, Reading, and Math... Good luck!=)

Yeah.. I heard that the Hesi was so much easier than the NET. Right now the averages are in the 70s.. still horrible. With that in mind, 94 points should get you through!... Like you mentioned, last sem's range was 84-103.. Well.. soon we'll find out... .
