I don't think anyone here can tell you your chances of getting in. We don't know where you're applying, how you stack up against other students applying, the criteria other nursing programs base their admissions on, etc.
Yeah I agree! I mean you've already sent in your applications, so you might as well wait and see what your odds are from the admissions people themselves! Waiting sucks but no one here can tell you if you'll get in.
I can tell you that your odds of getting into even one of those five is a whole lot better than if you'd never applied in the first place. Beyond that, my crystal ball of prognostication is broken...
You have done your part to get selected and from here on out, the best things you can do are very simple: do not get any DUI arrests, do not take any drugs that you do not have a prescription for (and include marijuana in that even if you do have a prescription for it), and conduct yourself in a generally respectable manner. Do not get any tickets for driving in any sort of a dangerous manner. In short, you want your "criminal" life to be hideously boring. I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun, just don't do stuff that's criminally stupid because that's the quickest way to be uninvited from a program you were selected to attend or have your application for a license be denied.
Have fun, relax, get on with life for now because there's nothing that you can do that will increase your chances of getting in. Just remember to be careful because some things will decrease your chances or have lasting ramifications even after you graduate.
Your life under a microscope begins now.

I applied to five nursing programs.
I have a 3.7-3.8 GPA.
I have work experience of over 600 hours.
What are my odds of getting in? I dislike having to wait until beginning April to know and then know for sure in May/June. This process takes a long time.
Give me encouragement :) Thanks for any responses.
