  5. CSN vs UNLV nursing schools

    christina731 replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Well unfortunately it's hard for some to afford the high tuition prices at UNLV. I don't qualify for any financial aid so I have to go with what's cheaper for now. If I had financial assistance I...

    christina731 replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    christina731 replied to Minigia06's topic in Nevada Nursing
