cape fear community college for 2013 ?

I know they won't create a spot but people have to decline for various reasons or they get into a better school, so stay optimistic! And be at orientation so if there is a spot(s) it could be yours!

KitKat I agree with mmtnurse. Follow this all the way to the end since this is your dream don't let it go so easily. Yes you may be an alternate but there are many reasons that people pursue other interest and give up their spot. You may have to wait a little longer but stick with it.

Scratch the LPN program I think im going to just become a paramedic...still in that environment but in all the action. Plus its so rewarding because you are the one who is the first line of defense! EMT here I come! WOO

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I went in and met with a counselor yesterday to express how upset I was and what I should do about maybe applying a fourth year or going down a different path and she said that next year they will be taking 180 ADN students! A new sheet will be released in the fall when the 2013 period opens! She def encouraged me and some of my friends to re-apply next year because with our scores she didn't see why we wouldn't be in unless they got like 600 applicants but, based off of the past few years that is unlikely. She also said to use other resources and try to up my PSB even more and finish my pre-reqs. So I encourage everyone to apply again next year! That's a huge jump to go from only 70 applicants to now 180!! That means people who probably even scored 310's would get in! I def needed that I was feeling pretty down this week :)

KitKat I'm confused I thought you are on the alternate list? Are you not going to pursue the option that you may still get in this year? Do you know what # alternate you are? That is very interesting that they are going to take 180 students next year. I wonder where are they going to put all the new classes for that many students? It will be interesting to see what happens. I have applied to get into to the RIBN program for this year so I will not know until later this month. Fingers crossed!

I am keeping this option open for if I do not get in as an alternate. With the brand new nursing building, they will have more than enough space to accommodate 180 students for next year!

golferguync, I too applied for the RIBN for the fall semester the day it opened at like 9:00 am. I applied last year but did not get in. I wish they took more than just 10 students!!

Does anybody know anybody currently in the program? Just wondering how hard it is? Is there some stuff we could study ahead over the summer? Any tips?

KAO good luck for the upcoming point count on getting into the RIBN program. We should hear something within the next week. If you are looking for info on the RIBN program there is not much to go on since last year was the first year it started so this coming fall would be when they would start taking Nursing classes. That is why there are only 70 spots this coming fall for the ADN program. If you want info on the ADN program there are some posts from previous years that could provide some insight on what to start studying now. I am sure there may be others who know of current nursing students in the program.

Is there any way to private chat on here?
