I was told yesterday that they're reviewing applications and expect to notify people to interview by early-mid November. I was hoping to know before November 12th

Thank you! Nevada, you?

Interview went well. Seems like a good program from what I can tell. I'll be starting in August!

I believe they only take off points from your application for retaking the science classes that they score (nurs 299, Chem, A&p, etc). Also, remember that there are also other nursing schools you can apply to. Nevada state college or Touro both train nurses. If I were you I would be applying to more than 1.

I hear that all the time too about the military shrinking at the moment. I think that is probably the safest bet to wait before committing to anything. I guess I'll just have to be patient! But I am glad it is competitive because it gives me a reason to work even harder. Thanks for the advice!

Understood. Thanks for your candid responses. I have come across many of your postings!

When would be the best time to apply to that program? While I am applying to graduate programs? Just so I can get a general idea of a timeline.

Pixie, That is definitely not "traditional" but I still consider your approach a good example. What made you not want to finish informatics?

I understand how different all those jobs are, but my interests are just as diverse. That's why I was attracted to the nursing profession - all the possibilities and areas for advancement. For instance, physical therapists do not have all these possibilities but nurses do. If you don't mind, how long did it take you to figure out exactly where you wanted to be/ what you want to do? I wonder if I will ever be able to really decide.

Thank you for the insight. Sounds like reserve is a good idea or just simply waiting until after my APRN. I know med students cannot be deployed during school, does this protection extend to a student in a NP or CRNA program who is a reservist?

Do you know how much experience the military would require to commission as a NP? Or what about a CRNA? I am assuming it varies by branch and need.

I am a male beginning nursing school this summer and will graduate with my BSN in a little over a year. It's a fast program. I have always been interested in the service aspect of the military and I like the idea of team camaraderie and leadership. I am a highly successful and motivated student (always the top of my class) and I am married. Here's my main issue: I want to further my studies and obtain a graduate degree (NP, CRNA, administration) as soon as I can in my career. If I were to join the national guard or reserves, how difficult is it to attend graduate school while also serving part time, especially CRNA school? Will the military likely pay for this schooling, and if so, is a longer service commitment required? I am looking for some advice on this topic. If I could go back in time I would have probably joined ROTC, but now it is a little too late for that. Thanks, Mavrick

Okay thanks. I haven't received a letter yet. Guess I will call and find out cause they never told me where the signing is at! Haha

For those of you that got accepted, have you received anything i. The mail yet?

They started calling guys! Goodluck! I got a call at about noon today

Haha sorry! Hopefully they will call before the weekend

Got a call from UNLV! Answered it.... It was the financial aid office returning my call. False alarm people. Waiting sucks

I went on Friday the 13th! And thank you! Goodluck

I Just applied with one class in progress. I was nervous until I calculated my points out to be a 95. The class (micro) in progress doesn't seem to penalize me very much. Post up here if you guys get notified! I was told we would know by March 15th at the latest.
