*I meant to put nurse mates, for shoes.

I'm glade it helped you! I bought shoes from dove apparel and they were comfortable for me overall, taking into consideration long standing hours for clinical. Shoe preference seemed across the board, no major complaints, just individual preference. ...

First off, congratulations on being accepted into UNLV's nursing program! This is my first semester of being in the program, so I'll give you the insight on what I have gained thus far. I worked two days a week, Saturday and Sunday, (part-time) and w...

They don't have the summer term bundle available in the bookstore yet, but it is practically the same set, and costs the same amount as previous semester's bundles. I just went ahead and bought the same exact books, brand new, online to save money. T...

I took Phil 101 to fulfill the second humanities prerequisite at UNLV. It is not mandatory to take Philosophy, but it is one option you can choose, the other common option is taking Communications 101.

I'm debating whether I should purchase the bundle or each textbook separately online. Going the online route will save about $200, but I'm wondering if I'll be missing something that only comes with the bundle, does any one know? Thanks. :)

They said we'll know around the beginning of March which clinical day we'll have, but I'm assuming we'd find out in orientation unless you call before hand. The April 22nd deadline is in place so that they can process all of our paperwork to the hosp...

If you go online, even nurse mates has men's shoes in leather, lace up, and all white. :) I hope your contract signing went well; that to do list folder was fairly hefty. Now, I'm proudly broke.

That is especially high for summer; I'm surprised to see the competition increase so quickly between semesters.

I'm curious to know what the cut off was! How well did you do on the hesi, I know that counts for about half our points.

:/ Did you finish all your classes? 88 points is high, I'm surprised the cut off would be above that number.

I had roughly 92 points and I got a call around 11 am! My orientation is on March 19th at 9 am, anyone else have that same date? Hang in there! I'm sure calls will be made over the next few days. Also, congratulations to everyone who got in so far! :...

Congratulations fellow classmate!!! When is your orientation?

I just got a call, and I'm in (tears of joy)!!! :D

The front desk of the nursing department, she said they were most likely still deliberating because she hadn't heard any new news. That's awesome IRISHLUCK what branch were you in? Also, your best asset is perseverance, if you have that than there i...

My best advice is to tread carefully in your biology/math/chemistry classes, it will pay off. By the time you apply there could be fewer or more applicants...it's all a guessing game. :) Supposedly the nursing department is still deciding upon the t...

As of lately, I'd say between 80-100 people apply. So, roughly half get accepted from the pool of applicants each semester, still better chances than most other schools though!

If anyone receives a call please post & good luck for the week ahead! :)

My phone will be within my sight at every moment next week & obnoxiously on loud. aha At least the 48 students will be picked tomorrow (Finally)! What did the adviser tell your friend exactly? My confidence levels rose. :)

At least you'll have one degree under your belt! From the way it sounded, they decide on Friday March 1st and begin calling people the day after during open hours. The adviser told me that the head director of the nursing program calls each person; w...

Aha Now we probably just sound obsessive, but I keep hoping there will be some bit of information! What classes are you still taking? Honestly, it can even be as early as Friday night-Saturday; they begin contacting people immediately. Around 90 peo...

It's killing me as well! (Hence why I've been on allnurses practically every day aha) I've been preoccupying myself with work, yoga, writing and any other time consuming activity. How are you handling it? A previous applier told me that they begin ca...

Well, good luck to you on getting in! The verdict will come soon, but in the meantime staying patient will be the challenge. aha

Right? Having done all my prerequisites for the past three years I've been following the nursing program closely and I've never heard the advisers speak of such a high number of applicants applying especially for summer; ironically. Supposedly, last ...

Hey everyone! I am also a hopeful candidate for being accepted into this upcoming summer term at UNLV; my signing session is on February 21st. :) I'm a bit nervous because I heard this is the largest pool of applicants UNLV's nursing program has had...
