how many tries?

I was wondering, for those of you who are in nursing school - how many times did you apply to the nursing program before you got accepted?

I was wondering because I applied for the fall but was rejected. I plan on applying again for the spring program, I will have a much better chance since I am taking A&P right now (with an A average so far!) My school goes by the point system and the minimum points people get in keeps getting higher and higher every semester. Last year the minimum was 105 points, so I though I had a chance when I applied with 108. Well the cut off was at 119. I will have 124 by the time I apply again, I'm just hoping the cut off won't raise much more...

I applied to Miami-Dade CC, and Broward CC, and didn't get in to either one. My wife is from Oregon, and has wanted to move home (at least for a couple of years) so I applied to Linfield College and Walla Walla College in Portland, and got into both!! So here I am for two years, in the wilderness of the Northwest, wanting so bad to be home (theres not exactly a large jamaican community up here)!! I will probably take my boards here, and transfer my liscence back to FL. I can't wait!!

Oh Straba, thought you meant a BSN program here. I laugh when I hear people say how easy it is to get into FL programs.

Kristin, after hearing you I wonder if my friends (who moved there this summer) applied to nursing, or a Univ hoping to get into nursing...

Yikes, sounds like most schools are pretty tough to get into for nursing!
