I wouldn't give up. Apply to be an alternate. If someone "noshows" and it happens in admissions far more often than you realize the school needs a backup student. I was waitlisted for 2 weeks and because I kept applying and trying I was able to secure a slot.

Thanks MDCupcake ! Received the rejection to part time as well lol. It's soo tough out there. I really want to be an RN, being an LPN is fine but most hospitals don't hire them. It's so tough, I work with an agency that hires RN's too and a lot of new grads are working with me because hospitals aren't hiring RN's right now, there's some kind of freeze or something. I don't know what to really do. I have a friend that goes to Broward's nursing program but that is toooo far for me. Don't know if I should take extra classes to raise my gpa and apply again ? Its driving me nuts !

Dear CMQT,

I think it would definitely be worth it to take some more classes to raise your GPA and give it another try. To raise mine I've been taking the pre-reqs that are required for most BSN programs. Just in case I want to do an RN-BSN program in the future. I figured the classes would probably not go to waste. I'm not sure what they require for the Bridge program but in addition to A&P I & II with labs, I took Microbiology/with lab, Nutrition, and now I'm taking Statistics, Intro to Sociology, and Chemistry w/lab. Just a thought, so that if your going to be putting in the effort to take extra classes to raise that GPA, they may as well benefit you for the future if you decide to return for the BSN. Anyways good luck to you. Let me know if theres anything else I can help you with CMQT. :-)

P.S. Theres a wonderful advisor at the MDC Medical Center Campus, her name is Jennifer Joseph. Shes extremely helpful, and would probably be able to give you some guidance as to how you should proceed from here.

HM2VikingRN,

How can one apply to be an alternate??? I received a rejection letter as well for the accelerated program and I have a 3.8 GPA. So, I really would like to know how can I become an alternate.

Hey,

I got my acceptance today for the accelerated program! I'm excited to hear who else got theirs. Everyone keep a look out. I'm sure we've all become pretty friendly with the mailman these days, keep stalking him, it may pay off! Good luck to everyone!
