You are not alone. One school of mine currently has an 18 month wait. You can't even get on it until after API so my wait hasn't even started yet. lol I will finish my pre-reqs and as I have to get CNA certification for this program I would like to work as one while I wait. I might also take some additional classes to get further along for my BSN/MSN.

Our school doesn't have a waitlist, but that doesn't mean I won't have to wait!!! If I don't get in, I have to take the test AGAIN and hope I do good enough to get into the following semester. Truthfully, depending on how I am testing, I may end up waiting longer than you!!

And, like you, I am done with all of my pre-req's. All I have are the Nursing classes! I so badly want to get in and just finally finish school and start my new career!!!

I have a daughter as well, so definitely, enjoy those kids!!! Good luck!

I've heard you refer to yourself as being on the "priority" list. I'm just curious what that is exactly, 'cause I've never heard of such a thing.
Good Luck!

My University has a 2 year waiting list which we were told up front, I placed my name on all of the sites nursing program waiting lists and I have been working on my pre-reqs the past 4 semesters and begin the actual nursing program in the Fall. All of my pre-reqs are finished effective tomorrow.

Good Luck to you and Everyone!!

At Santa Ana college (I hope I am explaining this correctly) they have a mandatory wait list.. and you are assigned points (based off your science/english pre-reqs) they go through the list and the 40's go.. then the 35's... not sure if they go below 35 points.. (it is up to the nursing director I believe) that is for one half of the class. The other half are picked from first come first serve. I am told that with my points it is a 1-1.5 year wait (from August). I asked what the wait list time is for people that do not have a "high" point score. I was told 3-4 years.

I am hoping that everyone applies and is accepted to Goldenwest (since they accept more students) I live too far from goldenwest (with the traffic)

I believe they have this explained on their website.

This is my third time applying to one of the local community colleges. They admit via lottery and if you don't get in, you need to reapply the following semester, which includes a trip to the counselor to have him/her sign off on your prereqs...again.

I've been taking medical terminology and pharmacology while waiting. I was thinking of getting certified in phlebotomy instead of just waiting around.

I'm praying that I'll her something positive for the fall 07 semester soon!

my school has a two year first come, first served waiting list once you finish A&P I & II & micro. so you're not alone...

Hi everyone, I just got into Santa Ana College Nursing program, The extended campas program at St Joseph and Im so Excited!!!! Aug with be 2 years since I applied and went on the list. So far I love the instructors and they seem like they really care. A couple of friends started there last semester and LOVE IT!!!! I took all my pre req's at Golden West College and perfered going to Santa Ana. I know that it takes forever to get in but you will, They have increased their number of nursing students per semester. They got a grant!!!! Hang in there!!!!!

At my CC you have to have all the prereqs complete before you can get on the waitlist. The waitlist is 3-4 years long. It's like that at most places here in CO.

To get into the larger universities there are more prereqs and it's a lot more money. Those usualyl have about 30 spots and are extremely competitive.

You're not alone
