Here is the Link! They just updated it for the group that came in this Fall 12'... Nevada State College: Statistics at a Glance I am not going to have the greatest GPA (many of the classes they count were from a previous bachelors degree that I earned where no one cared what I got in English 101), hopefully a 3.4, and I got 87.3 on the TEAS, so I hope I'm still in the ranking for the next start! Good Luck :)

I know this is an older post but I think it's an important reminder to nursing programs/schools and to student with learning disabilities that you have rights protected under the Civil Liberties Act as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act. If for some reason your school won't cooperate with you, don't worry about a lawyer, simply go to the US Department of Education website and fill out their online complaint form. Someone will contact you and they will help you get it done. Of course, it is much quicker to work with your school faculty, but when the "big guys" aren't willing to listen/assist that is what the US Dept. of Ed. is for. I had to request their services too due to a similar issue and after some long mediation phone calls with a legal mediator from the Dept. of Ed. office and her actually flying down to my university to meet with me and the university president, we got things straightened away. Never give up and NEVER surrender. If you know you are meant to do this, nothing will stop you. The field of nursing and medicine need more people like you!

You can check NSC's website and look at the admission page for the statistical breakdown of what the GPA range was for the last group they accepted based on the program they were applying for. It seems a 3.4-3.8 it the average now for all programs. It's getting higher all the time! Good Luck :)

Hi Everyone, So I finished my bachelors in anthropology after a long hard go at it; it took me sometime due to family issues, my poor health throughout school and a documented problem with my working memory. Long story short, though I did graduate (which was quite a accomplishment itself due to the circumstances), I graduated with a pretty low GPA, around 2.5. But now, I want to be a nurse. I actually always have. I've worked in community health for some time and have held many instructor and director positions in the field but I never thought I could stomach being a nurse. Now a little older and wiser I've decided not to give up on my dream, but how do you get into a program with that kind of GPA?? I've considered going to CSN, just so I can get it over and done with, but I would really like to get another bachelors in nursing just so I can get a job quicker when I get done with school. I'm taking per-requisites at NSC and trying for straight A's too. If you were in my shoes what would you do? I've tried to talk with nursing program advisers at a few campuses in town and all of them look at my GPA like I'm an idiot, when I really promise I'm not! Anthropology was a hard degree to get and with my other issues it was down-right impossible at times if it wasn't for the support of a few great advocates I had at school. Anyway, sorry for the long post. All opinions and advice are welcome! AJ

I am thinking about applying as I am currently at Nevada State and it's so competitive for spots that it's ridiculous. What kinds of GPA and TEAS scores did you have when you applied and did any of you ever consider NSC's program initially?
