Why does it cost more to enroll in the Accelerated track?
The Board of Regents of the State of Nevada approved a proposal in December 2011 for the NSC School of Nursing to implement differential tuition for students enrolled in the BSN Accelerated track beginning in Fall 2012. Differential tuition means that the School of Nursing will charge a higher rate of tuition than the rest of NSC. Revenue from differential tuition will support enhancement of key student programs specific to the School of Nursing. Students will pay differential tuition only if they are in the BSN Accelerated track. Pre-nursing students and students enrolled in the Regular, Part-time and RN to BSN tracks will not pay differential tuition. By Board of Regents mandate, 15% of the additional tuition revenue will go directly toward financial aid for School of Nursing students in the form of a grant.

Can students work while enrolled in the Nursing Program?
It is strongly recommended that students in the Regular Degree Track keep work to a minimum during the academic semester. The program is very demanding. It is important for students to obtain enough rest and sleep to be able to care for their patients and complete all of the course work. It is strongly recommended that accelerated track nursing students do not work outside of school due to the heavy demands of being on a fast-track which covers two years of course work in just 12 months.
