So, I am trying to find more nursing schools. I was wondering about waiting list and some of the schools around?

I'm not familiar enough with Houston and San Antonio, and I'm sure I missed a few other colleges that offer programs in Dallas and Austin. Due to this economy I think you'll have a rough time getting in no matter where you apply. Good luck.

this is general advice not specific to TX. Apply to 1-2 bachelor schoools, 1-2 community colleges and do as best you can in your studies. keep in mind cost too you don not want to run out of monies 1 semester in. Ok good luck! I didn't plan mine so much as spur of the moment, did walk in application, studied prereqs, and applied to just one Ccomunity college. with my RN-BSN i was more careful. it was 2 state school, 1 city school, l and I ended up attending my plan C school which turned out to be much better than my 1st choice. The school i thought i was definetly attending rejected me and the one which is fairly elite and well known I applied knowing i wasn't the strongest candidate so on whim thinking it couldn't hurt so why not.
In general the most competitive aka hardest to get into are the accelerated BSN programs for previous holders of bacheolor degrees (15 months), next is 4 year BSN schools and least competitive is community college. Not to worry so far every single one of my classmates got accepted somewhere for thier RN-BSN.
