UNLV SON Summer 2013

Aha Now we probably just sound obsessive, but I keep hoping there will be some bit of information!

What classes are you still taking?

Honestly, it can even be as early as Friday night-Saturday; they begin contacting people immediately.

Around 90 people at the least have applied, so I'm just hoping my points will be enough to finally start in the summer.

Meditation helps a ton with the stress. :)

I'm taking a few psychology classes to finish up a minor. If I don't get in though, I could take a few more classes and possibly graduate with a psych major before even starting nursing school!

They'd start calling people after their business hours/days? That'd be awesome, not having to wait until Monday. I can't believe they over scheduled their signing sessions though; that just lessens our chances.

What kind of meditation do you do? I feel like I need to do something. I'm breaking out from all the stress.

Well at least March is coming pretty fast. They are not even done with the signing sessions. My friend has one this week. Good luck to everyone.

Does anyone know how GPA is calculated into the score?

Only the science GPA is calculated into the worksheet. Your overall GPA just needs to be at or above a 3.0, but it isn't factored in otherwise.

At least you'll have one degree under your belt!

From the way it sounded, they decide on Friday March 1st and begin calling people the day after during open hours. The adviser told me that the head director of the nursing program calls each person; which might take awhile aha.

Yeah, I had over ten people in my signing session so I'm sure at least 90 have applied thus far. :/

It seems like the main importance for being competitive is taking your math & science classes only once and achieving a high score on the hesi.

I started doing meditation through practicing yoga at a new studio I've been attending, it helps being present in the moment instead of allowing your mind to wander-stress. Even allowing yourself to go outside and to be in silence for a few minutes will help calm your senses. Oh, and stretching your body helps tremendously with letting go of built up tension we learn to hold on to through out the day. Really, its about the little moments of awareness.

& I am also a victim of stress acne so I know the frustration...

I had a friend that applied today and they told her she has a good chance of making it and most of the ppl that finished prereqs do bcus a lot of applicants have classes in progress.

mis91 · Mar 1, 2013

Oh jeez! That makes me feel a bit better. Do you know how many points she had?

sl703 · Mar 1, 2013

My phone will be within my sight at every moment next week & obnoxiously on loud. aha

At least the 48 students will be picked tomorrow (Finally)! What did the adviser tell your friend exactly? My confidence levels rose. :)
