Admissions info can be found here: http://www.tmcc.edu/nursing/downloads/documents/NURSAdmissionCriteria.pdf
The test is called the HESI
Competition is tough for nursing programs in Northern NV. I found that by the time I did all of my prerequisites, I was able to finish the core curriculum needed for my BSN at UNR and I ended up applying to their program after doing all of my prereq's at TMCC. I'd suggest to look at all of your options and speak with counsellors at all of the schools to find the best path for you! I ended up with a BSN in 3.5 years of schooling. UNR is GPA based admission, unless something has changed.
Good luck!

Please save yourself the trouble and try for UNR or Western Nevada College. Don't go to TMCC. I won't say anymore publicly.
