UNLV SON Spring 2016
Anyone else received their call yet? I'm surprised the thread is this quiet right now since they typically make calls over 2 days.

UNLV SON Spring 2016
Congrats EMKY :) I will see you next Friday!
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
Congrats and nice points! They are definitely not calling by point order.
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
Hmm. Maybe they have split up the call list among the employees.
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
Nice! Congratulations :) When is your signing?
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
Yeah I have 94.2. And thanks :) I hope you guys get your calls soon! Don't worry if you don't receive one today though since these calls typically take place over 2 days.

UNLV SON Spring 2016
Heads up everyone: Calls have started :) My contract signing is on 11/13 1-4 PM. I did ask about the cutoff, but she was not able to tell me anything

UNLV SON Spring 2016
Lol I think most of us are in that situation. I'm surprised my husband hasn't called just to create a "false alarm".
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
Welcome Hcep :) They probably will start making calls tomorrow. It's possible today, but I'm not going to hold my breath
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
They will probably start making calls Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I think they base call order on the amount of points--start with the highest and work down.

UNLV SON Spring 2016
Some of the applicants in my session were discussing how many points they have.
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
My session was about 2 weeks ago. There was only 8-9 of us. Some did not have their points calculated (still have to take HESI, pre-reqs in progress). Other than that, I think the points ranged from 89-97.
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
I think you will be accepted Kat :) We will know for sure in 6 weeks! Hopefully time flies until then lol

UNLV SON Spring 2016
I had to reschedule my signing session to October 15 at 1 PM. I tried to get the session on October 16, but it was full
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
My signing is still October 1 as of right now. However, I might have to reschedule. As far as applying with pre-reqs still in progress, it's still possible but is a nail-biting experience Spring sessions typically have a lower cutoff so I think with 90 points you definitely have a chance.

The one thing that I didn't like about the HESI was in the reading comprehension section--some of the questions seemed ambiguous and asked you to draw conclusions. The rest of it wasn't too difficult. I used Elsevier's HESI Admission Assessment Exam Review and HESI A2 Secrets Study Guide by Mometrix.

UNLV SON Spring 2016
As far as last spring's session, I saw on a thread that someone was accepted with an 89.4. I'm not sure what the exact cutoff was though.
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
That's so funny that you were in that class too. I took BIOL 224 the month after that and did not personally meet a single person from that class who was applying for spring.
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
Apparently a comment I left earlier didn't post :/ Anyway, welcome Renee :) Chem isn't too hard, especially if you keep up with the masteringchemistry website lessons/homework. As Kat said, let us know when you schedule your signing.

UNLV SON Spring 2016
It went good! BIOL 224 was intense in the summer but I still pulled an A. What classes are you taking now?
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
I think that you will be fine with a 90.8. I've heard that the cutoff is typically lower (around high 88s) for spring and summer sessions.
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
Yeah I'm really bored waiting for these next few months to pass! Did anyone else get the October 1st signing?
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
I came across the 2015-2016 SON handbook http://www.unlv.edu/assets/degrees/nursing/Handbook-BS-Nursing-2015-16.pdf It provides some general information about clinicals, attendance, dress code, grades, etc. Someone in the fall 2015 thread was also kind enough to link the book list.
-
UNLV SON Spring 2016
Once this last class is finished next week, I will most likely have 94.24 points.

UNLV SON Spring 2016
I took CHEM 108 last month. Now I'm in BIOL 224. One more week! Is Dr. Spangelo your professor?
