Is this your page? CSN-RN Spring 2017 Hopefuls on FB

That is great news for so many people!

When did you last talk to someone about this? Because I've now heard from 2 different people who were told this last week that they won't go through with that change. They WERE going to require it, but decided against it.

I heard this same thing last week.

Just got word that they are not going through with the change that requires a CNA license before applying. So, anyone that doesn't get in for Spring 2017 can apply for Fall 2017 and not have to stress about the CNA. This is all I've heard so far, and their page on the website is "under construction.

Just FYI in case you haven't seen them yet, there ARE at least 2 other posts about the Spring 2017 CSN program. I'm applying to full time track with 34-35 points.

I didn't realize you were allowed to apply without BIOL 223?? I will be applying with everything finished except for Micro and Nevada History, which I'll take both of those Fall semester before Spring Nursing Program begins. Hopefully 34 points is enough this round, because that's what I think I'll have.

So pretty much everything? lol

Hello! It sounds like you will have no problem getting in with 37 points. I'm planning on applying with 34 or 35 points, depending on how I do on the Kaplan. Do you have any advice for the test?

When are you taking the Kaplan? I'm scheduled for July 30. From what I've found out from searching online about the test, Khan Academy is a great resource for the math and science portions, and then find an ACT study guide for the reading/writing parts. There are some helpful youtube videos out there that recommend specific books, but none of them are the ACTUAL Kaplan book, funny enough.

I totally get it!! I have 4 kids from 8-2 and am applying for full time as well, and I'm older than you. I was 1 class away from applying (out of state) 10 years ago, then decided having kids was something I couldn't put off, but nursing was. This is my first semester back. Hopefully we both make it in and all this anxiety will have been worth it!

I'm taking it July 30th, and I only have one chance at taking it - I'm soooooo nervous. You have nothing to lose taking it again, and I have heard it's the identical test, so just try to remember what you missed and study that. You're right though, you might have nothing to worry about with getting in with a memo, but is it worth the risk??? Are you applying for the regular or part-time track?

See my above comment.

Do you have time to take the KAT again before the 9/1 deadline? If so, I think you should just do that. From what I understand, the waiver would be a memo and would put you beneath EVERYONE else that doesn't have a memo. Although, then after everyone without a memo has gotten in, they will rank the memos from highest to lowest score and go from there. I have to have a memo on my BIOL 189 because it is 10 years old, but I found out yesterday that this is the only case they have an exception and I will not be put in the memo pile. It's frustrating to have 35+ points and still be at the bottom of the list. Kaplan test spots are filling up fast though, so get on it if that's what you're going to do.

Are you taking any classes this summer, and have you done the limited entry workshop yet? Did you take the KAT or TEAS? I won't be ready to turn in my application until mid-August...
