    Waiting list in Nevada?

    HikingNinja replied to tabrown1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    As far as I know CSN, UNLV, NSC, Touro, and USN all do not have wait lists. CSN, UNLV, NSC go by a point system (entrance test scores, gpa and such). Touro and USN go by a combo of things which can...

    I'm so freaked out right now!!!

    HikingNinja replied to HikingNinja's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks all for the support. I kinda understand their logic. This way they will have the best students finishing and passing (hopefully) the NCLEX with high rates. Their rates aren't bad right now....

    I'm so freaked out right now!!!

    HikingNinja replied to HikingNinja's topic in Nevada Nursing

    No. There were no problems with pass rates the last couple of classes (they were in the 80%'s). I have no idea why they would do this. We are all freaked out here. Our instructors are encouraging...

    Survey: Would you pay $43,000 to a College to become an RN in 22 months?

    HikingNinja replied to parkingmanager's topic in Nevada Nursing

    No. I wouldn't pay that much. The only way I would consider carrying that much tuition is if the program is prestigious and could help me when applying to grad school (like Johns Hopkins). After 3...

    HikingNinja replied to mooch's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Sorry, I don't know the answer to that one. I'd contact the State of Nevada and State of California's Nursing Boards for the answer if I were you. Good luck.

    I looked them up and it seems to indicate that it's over $600 per credit if you are out of state? Is that correct? Or is it some special rate for the nursing MSN?
