I'm glad I went into Nursing when I did. Originally, I had a slot in the Fall 2003 term. But, was bumped up to Spring 2003 because of so many drop outs. Now, I hear that they are full until Spring 2005. I remember the last time this happened. I couldn't get in the program for a while. I got discouraged and didn't persue it. That discussion kept me from fulfilling my dream....
I sure hope everyone hangs in there no matter how long it takes. Don't do like I did...

This year there we're 125 seats available in my program and i think they said something like 200 applicants. Im not sure how they accept students, it think its based on the entrance exam, or your GPA, i know you have to have a mim. of a 2.50 to get in. i didnt even know how competative my program was untill i talked to some other students. I applied right from high school, like SEPTEMBER of my senior year...maybe they saw how anxious i was!...Good Luck

We have had a competitive system since 1995. Currently, there are 300 qualified students vying for 40 spots. They are starting a mid-semester class that will take Nutrition, Pharm, Intro to Nursing, Skills II, and Assessment IN 8 WEEKS!!! They will also have 8 weeks of 8 hour clinicals running concurrently. The higher ups that don't give a darn about success are setting these people up for failure. Could you imagine??????
