Unlv 16 Month Bsn--is It Possible To Work???

[buffalowing81]

I'm thinking of going back to unlv in the fall of 08 to finish up my bsn, i know you have to complete the nursing courses in 16 months, 15 credits a semester i was told by the advisor, is it possible to do this and work full time? i mean i gotta have a roof over my head, if it's not possible i'm gonna need a student loan of about a million dollars lol well actually about 25 K a semester if i can't work...anyone do this?? what can i do???

ANII? What does that stand for? It is probably equivalent to what we call "NAPs" here in Las Vegas. NAP = Nurse Apprentice. Nursing students here in Las Vegas are able to apply for a NAP position after their 1st semester.

Yep! Same thing, differen't letters. AN = Apprentice Nurse. You can be an AN I after your first semester and function as the equivalent to a CNA. An AN II is paired up with a nurse and does some RN functions. Other students who have taken advantage of these positions say they learn so much. Plus, it's always nice to have some pocket change!
