  1. Best school to get RN or BSN in Las Vegas

    JacobK replied to iconnie11's topic in Nevada Nursing

    One of my previous posts. CSN is 24 months after prereqs(full time), UNLV is 16 months after prereqs, NSC full time is 20 months I believe. NSC also has an accelerated program for individuals, such as...

  2. transfer to unlv

    JacobK replied to puppies1123's topic in General Nursing

    That would not eliminate you. Many students, such as myself, are students simultaneously at UNLV and CSN, and applied to both UNLV and CSN. Transferring from CSN to UNLV only means you will be a...

  3. Nevada State College

    JacobK replied to NVhike's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hard to say. With Touro having canceled their Spring class, and ITT tech closing, there are now fewer spots than ever in Las Vegas, so competition will likely remain high everywhere. Another thing to...

  4. Please share your experience at UNLV in Las Vegas.

    JacobK replied to IMOKAY's topic in Nevada Nursing

    UNLV is probably the hardest program in Las Vegas, but it also has a well earned reputation for putting out the best nurses. The idea is if you can survive UNLV you can survive anywhere. And congrats...

  5. UNLV Spring 2011

    JacobK replied to JacobK's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I still have a month before my first semester is done. So far so good. Classes are hard, but that should be expected. So far we have only lost 2 students, out of 48. Instructors are very good,...

  6. I need help!! I need everyones opinion!!

    JacobK replied to jayb1izzle's topic in Nevada Nursing

    That article is well over a year old and no longer applicable. The UNLV nursing program has gone to differential tuition and is one of the only programs in the state, nursing or otherwise, not in any...

  7. I need help!! I need everyones opinion!!

    JacobK replied to jayb1izzle's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Schools in the Las Vegas Area: ADN: Everest: Provisional accreditation only, Private College, I don't know anything else about them. ITT Tech: Provisional accreditation only, I believe they have...

  8. Nevada State College

    JacobK replied to NVhike's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Quick correction, UNLV accepts 48 students for every class(three times a year), not 64, and each class is cut into 2 separate groups of 24 for

  9. UNLV BSN hopeful

    JacobK replied to anie10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not sure what I'm offended by more, the borderline racist comment about the student body, or the insinuation that all Nevadans are gamblers and prostitutes. For the record the UNLV nursing...

  10. UNLV Spring 2011

    JacobK replied to JacobK's topic in Nevada Nursing

    @puppies1123: The Hesi wasn't particularly hard, and it is very easy to get the minimum scores required. However, the scores are a big part of your acceptance points so you need to do well to have a...

  11. Nurses with Tattoos and Piercings

    JacobK replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    Because visible tattoos, and extensive piercings look unprofessional. Is it really that

  12. Getting into UNLV w/o all Pre-Req's...possible

    JacobK replied to THELIVINGWORST's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think they do have Nurs 299 online but you still have to come in once a week for tests and you still have the big group projects. I would take stuff like Eng 231 and Anthropology online instead....

  13. Unlv program gpa acceptance

    JacobK replied to jmmarie's topic in Nevada Nursing

    15 points max for the Attempt Points. Science GPA points are based on your average GPA by credit multiplied by 10. So if you have 4.0 GPA in all science pre-requisites it's 4.0 x 10 = 40 points max....

  14. Getting into UNLV w/o all Pre-Req's...possible

    JacobK replied to THELIVINGWORST's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My signing session, when I actually submitted my application, was about a month before the deadline. You have to sign up for a signing session where they go over all your pre-req classes, gpa,...

  15. Unlv program gpa acceptance

    JacobK replied to jmmarie's topic in Nevada Nursing

    100 in each of the 4 categories, Reading, Math, Grammar, and A&P. It looks like the "Overall Composite Score" is factored into your points, but according to the health science counselors it isn't....

  16. Unlv program gpa acceptance

    JacobK replied to jmmarie's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Acceptance into UNLV is not based solely on GPA: http://nursing.unlv.edu/pdf/bsn%20pdfs/hesi-a2_calculation_worksheet_08-09.pdf The max amount of points possible is 100.7, note that the overall...

  18. UNLV BSN hopeful

    JacobK replied to anie10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a UNLV student and I start the program in January, so I can't tell you much about the program itself, but I know quite a bit about the application and acceptance process. If you haven't checked...

  19. NSC Summer biology courses

    JacobK replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The first time I applied to CSN I didn't tell them I was a nursing student and it took 6 weeks to get done, the second time I applied I told them and it took 3 days. So there is definitely a...

  20. NSC Summer biology courses

    JacobK replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    That's not correct. Transcript evaluations are done at CSN Cheyenne(inputting grades into DARS), and application evaluations are done at CSN Charleston. The best way to get them done quickly is to...

  21. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    JacobK replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Reading is fun! From my earlier post, as an intransitive verb it means "to turn or face to the east" as a transitive verb it means

  22. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    JacobK replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing worse than Grammar Nazis are Grammar Nazis who are incorrect. Orientate is a real word, it's been around since 1848. From Websters: ori-en-tate verb \ˈȯr-ē-ən-ˌtāt, -ˌen-\...
