Oh, so basically you will have 6 hours for clinical, 3 hours of lab and about 3 hours for lecture. I am not sure all of the times but you will have the option to choose morning and/or afternoon. I think working is possible but it's probably best that you get something for the evening, or nights. Keep in mind that it is a first come first serve sort of thing. And classes fill up quick so be mindful that you may not get what you want. Now as far as study time, I like to consider this as a separate "class" and I delegate at least five hours a week. Then you want to consider Pharm, that's another couple of hours out of the week. But I think this is great way to learn time management. You will have a lot to consider and take in throughout your entire time in nursing school. I think for a lot of people, the first semester is just the hardest in terms of learning how to do so. You will learn how, when and why you study because it's a little different from Biol classes. Hint: Rationale. So to answer your question, or statement, I can not really tell you what is right for you. Only you can decide that. And only you can know once you get into the program and take on your fist couple of weeks. I know many people in the program that work and have families so it's definitely doable if you can manage everything. Just stay positive through everything. Try not to think too negatively and you should be fine.

Yes, I know 2 women that are still in their first trimester. And already have kids under two. (Clearly unplanned, but it happens) You will definitely need a good support system. Rather it be family, friends or both. Let them know how stressed out you will be beforehand. I made that mistake and ended up going off on a few people. Of course I apologized afterwards. Once I realized what was contributing to my behavior. After the first 4 weeks, you should have your study habits down pact. Look, if you know and understand how YOU learn and realize that nursing is based on critical thinking and rationale then you should be fine to take regular track. I just discourage taking additional classes with the nursing ones. But once you get into groove and knock out your first set of exams, you'll know.

Yeah, so March 1 is the fall track deadline. No, I'm not working and I do not have kids. But there are plenty of people in the program that gave families. Even those that are pregnant! So don't let that discourage you. Extended track is recommended if you having a family and/or work commitments.

Hey, queenlyblessed. I am actually currently enrolled in the Spring 2017 regular track and I can say that the workload is tremendous. I am not trying to discourage you, but only warn you. Biol 251 is not as rigorous as 223 and 224 however, with nursing 101 lecture,lab and clinical and all the reading/study time. Plus Pharmacology. Scheduling and study time are going to be priority. I do not work, or have children right now and it's still challenging for me. Everyone learns differently though. I would recommend applying to the program, and think about taking 251 at UNLV during the summer. You do not need to finish 251 until the 3rd semester. You should be able to transfer the credit over to CSN. I am only telling you this because right now, I am living that dream. And I would hate to see someone get accepted only to fail out because they bit off more than they could chew. This is just a recommendation. If you think you can handle it then more power to you, but think about it. Failing in the long run is not worth trying to rush into the program. Again, please do not take this wrong way as I'm not trying to be mean. And do not hesitate to ask questions if you have any. -Rhez

Thanks! That will save me a whole lot of hassle.

Unfortunately, you can not register for Bio 223, 224, 251. etc. until you've passed 189. You should talk to a UNLV/CSN transfer adviser. Just make an app online. You should be able to see them right away. Perhaps once you've finished 189 and transferred it over to CSN it will count in time and you'll be able to register for BIO 223. Good luck!

Hello everyone. I too am hoping to get into the Spring 2017 ADN program. I've finished up everything, including courses, and meetings/workshops. So, I am just starting to get everything in order to submit my application prior to the deadline just in case something isn't complete. I would recommend turning in your application a couple of weeks to a month before the deadline, that way you can attempt to schedule an appointment to find out why it's not complete. One question I do have, can anyone tell me what steps they went through by obtaining an approved unofficial copy of your transcripts or diploma? I did contact my high school and they redirected me to the transcripts.ccsd site. But I remember reading somewhere that you can just copy your diploma but that doesn't sound right.
