Transferring to UNLV

BLESSED916 · Apr 15, 2008

You will easily get into UNLV, but you still have a few semesters (probably 3) before you are able to apply to the nursing program.
So if there are some classes that will not transfer, you will still have time to retake classes before applying to the nursing program (hopefully you can get them all transferred though).

Sweet! my wife spoke to the nursing advisor there, and she was really helpful. With that being said, im going to keep my hopes up and pray that i get accepted, that way i can get out the military early! :yeah:

i appreciate the help guys.

This site rocks! :up:

Thankfully they got rid of a horrible pre-nursing advisor who essentially screwed students over because she was lazy with her work.

She's gone, huh? That's good to hear...there were a few people in my class that were pretty upset to be that close to graduating and suddenly being told that their chem credits or whatever weren't being honored.

I almost had a similar issue with my credits from CCSN pop up after I submitted my grad packet, simply because I hadn't taken the "official" chem class required. Instead, I had taken the two-semester chem sequence for chem majors, two semesters of o-chem, and 1 semester of biochem. It got cleared up, but still involved a bit of bureaucratic bs.

To the OP, it sounds like things have improved in this regard with the SON advising, but I would still advise you to keep o top it even after you are accepted. First step is to get your credits accepted by UNLV. Then, once your in, you will have to talk to the SON pre-nursing advisor to iron out exactly what you will need to enter the nursing program.

Good luck!

That is one thing you need to do at UNLV -- keep on top of everything! Every department seems to "misplace" paperwork, never do what they say they are going to do, and no one really cares... that is the way it seems anyway. The professors in the School of Nursing are all caring (for the most part) and want to see everyone do well.

The financial aid office is the worst to deal with.. they all seem very incompetent. So, at UNLV it is incredibly important to follow-up with everything to ensure it is getting done.

Misplaced paperork? Follow up to make sure it gets done? Sounds like the Military to me!:rollHehe just kidding. Ill make sure ill make 2 copies of everything, and follow up so i can have a smooth transaction on becoming an RN. Thanks again!
