You and thousands of other students don't want to wait. An option that might be good for you is to look for a school that admits based on merit/GPA rather than a waiting list. This doesn't mean you will get in quickly, but if you have good grades it could expedite the process.

Unless you are willing to spend upwards of $30,000 per year for a private school, there is not going to be much chance of immediately getting into any RN program in the US. Demand far exceeds the number of openings.

Also does not matter where you are willing to go to, but for community colleges first crack at openings usually goes to residents of that area.

If you are already enrolled in a practical nurse program, suggestion would be to remain there. Or you will be starting over all of your hours that you have put into your program. Technical schools do not transfer any of the credits, only if you have actually finished their program and then hold the PN license is it accepted in other programs to go on with your schooling.

I understand that you are anxious, but I would consider what your actual options are before trying to get done faster. It may not work out that way for you.

I don't know that you want to move to West Virginia, but I got into my ASN program straight away. I took all the pre-reqs along side my nursing courses.

You don't state where you live. I've never heard of a BSN program that has a waiting list (although there may be some in other parts of the country), so that's something to look into. Most public and many private universities offer them - go to the web sites of your local state schools and see what your options are. CCs in many areas have long wait lists, but many others don't. Actually ask someone in the admissions office of your school, don't just rely on what some other student told you, and then go to the websites or call the other CCs in your area and find out what their admissions policies are.

First off, ANY nursing program ishard to get into, if they are accrediated. You want to go to a good school. Don't go to a school that's not accrediated and then you have a hard time getting a job. If your grades are good, you should be able to egt into the school of your choice. Students don't have to get all straight A's to get into the RN program. If want to get into the RN program at Indy and your scores are decent, you have a good chance. What other school do you know that takes 120 students each semester? That's a lot of spots. Go for it!

I am niot wanting to wait. !

Funny that your name is "spoiledbrat" lol...

no one wants to wait, it is frustrating, my advice is to stay in your LPN program and then bridge to your RN sometimes the bridge programs dont have the wait list like the traditional RN. Not to mention I think you can do an online bridge at some schools.

Best of luck---I hated waiting too, but now that it is done and over it was not that bad.

One of my best friends got her LPN 1st then bridged to RN, then masters, now she is 1 semester shy of completing her NP. All this time---she never had to take a chemistry class!!! Go figure, so sometimes the bridge programs are pretty nice~~

I go to Ivy Tech and I got in straight away.

If you do well in the prereqs (all As) and do good on the TEAS you are pretty much guaranteed to get in immediately. So if you don't want to wait, I suggest you bust your butt in the prerequisites and make yourself as competitive as possible.

Best wishes.

If you are admitted to Purdue's BSN program, you are directly in the nursing program without "pre-nursing" but you must get at least C's in all of your classes each year to move on to the next.
