UNLV Courses not transfering

[thehalfpast]

Hi everybody,

I was told that my Anatomy and Physio courses are not being accepted as transferable for the BSN program, and that I'll have to take BIOL 223 and 224 again at UNLV. There are no other pre-req's that I need before applying to the nursing program and since they can't even be taken concurrently this puts me a year behind schedule. And then I'll have to take NURS 299 after that. Seems like a scam since my A&P were very thorough; we even dissected cadavers in the Anatomy lab. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance

Hey thehalfpast, have you figured this one out yet? I'm guessing you did as this was posted in August but wanted to check!

My A&P courses from my 1st undergrad college weren't as thorough (comparative anatomy vs human anatomy, no cadaver) but the adviser said to get her the syllabi for those courses and she can see if they'll be accepted. I think if you can prove it you should be fine. Last year I had an adviser who was telling people all the wrong things, apparently, and let me take Nurs299 even though I hadn't taken Bio 223 and 224 yet. Whoops. (I got a C anyways and have to retake it). I got the feeling that the adviser I talked to was new and kind of cleaning up the messes her predecessors had left, and I got both her, the Biology department, and Enrollment on the phone and had to work out why one person had said one thing while someone else said another. Basically UNLV pre-nursing seems to be a bit confused; if you hear one thing from one adviser, check with another adviser.
