WOW

I wish we had something like that here in Australia ....I want to try & get in to do my Nursing Degree through a Hospital rather than TAFE ....

Australia is crying out for Doctors & Nurses & have been recruiting from overseas...Our health system is in Crisis...so much cost cutting & cutting back on nurses puts the whole health industry in jeapody...be good if those higher up could see it though.!

If you want a lucative career you should start a new Nursing Agency because they are always short ...cannot fill the many shifts availabe ...keeps me busy! I work for an Agency...no shortage here!

Oh well move on & upward !

Oklahoma City University's Kramer School of Nursing - no waiting list and as I understand it, will accept any student that meets their criteria (3.0 GPA and all of their prereq's) by opening additional course sections if necessary. It is a private university, so tuition is $$$ but cost of living in Oklahoma is super low.

This looks like a good school!

Hi everyone!

I have one silly question that I want to ask...I live in California and want to work as a Registered Nurse in California...I know that I will have to take the NCLEX exam here in California after I finished with my BSN program...or before working. So..let say if I want to go to an out-of-state school, University of Maryland for instance, will they prepare me to take the NCLEX exam there...or I have to go back to my state and take. Do all states require the NCLEX exam or just only in California. Thanks!

Specializes in LTC, hospital, office.

The NCLEX is a national exam, so all states have to take it.

Thank you for your info.

Specializes in ENT, NH LTAC, WOUND CARE.

I have been searching for schools that run prereq's concurrently and i found several that don't have waiting list also, but since they are career colleges they are$$$$. Concord career college in Aurzo, CO has a 14-16 month lpn-rn 8-4 class. Sanford brown college in St. Peters, MO has a 12 month 4:30-8:30 class. Prima in Mesa, Az has a 96 week class day time. North and south seattle community colleges have some sort of one year lpn-rn class.

Also I have found some either distance learning and or online schools also. Pratt community college in Pratt, KS has a online lpn-rn class thats completely online. You visit the school approx. 7 times during your course of study. You do clinicals with them at facilities for 6 weeks at three ten hour days each session. Other than that you don't sit in a class. And guess what else. It is a very cheap school under 6,000. The catch is you need to have a KS state LPN license.

Chamberlain college of nusing also offers an online lpn-rn. Catch at the end of each seesion where you are to complete clinicals in your own state. You must obtain your clinical sit on your own. I was given info as to contact the education dept. at the hosp. of choice and ask if they will allow you to practice under the direction of their RN. Way around that is if you live in Missouri the school will help you set up clinicals. The rest of ypur classes are done online. If you live out of the area you must travel to St. Louis , MO to validate your clinical performance every so often. Catch is that 7 states don't reconize this school. Cost is under 20,000 a year.

Exclesior college, offers the entire nursing program online or through distance learning. You earn credits through examination. Catch is that you don't attend any clinicals, the therory is that if you are already in the healthcare feild actively you are gainig your clinicals through everyday learning on the job. Don't fear because there are plenty of hospitals that will hire you with RN pay as a intern providing you with clinical experience at their expenince, especially the magnet hospitals. There are publishing companys out there that have what they call tutorials to help you pass exclesior exams. I don't personnally know about them, but some have found them helpful and others say go straight through Exclesior.

Another route to get into nuring is to go through a diploma program at a hospital school. it takes two-three years, but some have lpn-to rn programs which take less time. I found alot in New Jersey and New york, there are some in other state. Go to any search engine and type in nursing schools and I beleive you can go to allschools.com or try discvoernursing.com.

I hope I was of some help to someone else joining me in this wonderful feild of nusing.

The Glenville State College/ West Virginia University Joint Nursing Program is still accepting applications and doesn't have a waiting list. Here is the link for info:

Specializes in ICU.

Ameritech College Nursing School in Utah doesn't have a waiting list. They also offer all your prereq's to be taken concurrently with nursing courses, and you finish in 19 months. If you have all prereq's done you finish in 16 months. It is a little pricier...but time is money right? I can't afford to wait 2-3 years to begin nursing school!

My school (Cy Fair College) in Houston does not have a waiting list. You just have to reapply every semester. I think that is how most of the nursing schools in Houston are.
