Average wait to get into an LVN program in CA?

I plan to apply to the LVN program offered at College of the Redwoods this Spring. I've contacted the school and asked 3 times about the average wait and I've gotten no answer. They just ignore my question, which makes me think the wait must be long for their nursing programs since they don't want to answer that! I heard the wait for the RN program is about 3 years. How about the LVN-RN program? I just want to have some sort of idea as to how long it will take me to get in once I've applied.

The average wait time at other schools in CA for LVN programs can also give me an idea of how long the wait should be. So, if any of you who did a LVN program could let me know how long it took you to start the program once you applied, I would greatly appreciate it! :-)

Thank you so much in advance! :)

    Hello XtinaS :-) Yes I did apply to the LVN program at CR last week. The college accepted LVN applications from Jan 31st until tomorrow, Feb 11th. Did you apply? I should find out by April if I got in this fall or of my wait list number. I know they have a lottery system, so after Feb 11th all qualified applicants will be randomized and chosen by lottery. I'm nervous! I hope the wait isn't too long. I'll make sure to post on here after I find out more info in April.

    I just applied to the eureka campus. I didn't know I could apply to both. Have you received your status letter in the mail yet? I'm still waiting for mine...

    Me too! I'm freaking out! lol On the Health Department page on the CR website it says that all status letters will be mailed out by April 30th, so only 10 more days!

    I just got my letter from then and found out I am number 20 on the waitlist for the ADN-RN program!! Did you guys only apply to the LVN program or did you apply to the RN as well?

    YAY for you Tahoegal! If you don't get in this time you're guaranteed next year! I just applied to the LVN program, but I haven't gotten my letter yet. Hopefully tomorrow (Fingers Crossed)! I'm starting to get nervous.

    Congrats Tahoegal! Number 20 on the waitlist is great. :-) I only applied for the LVN program and haven't got my letter yet either..

    #20 on the waitlist is pretty good. I applied last year and was 103 on the waitlist, so it moves pretty quickly! I was supposed to be in the BSN program at HSU, so I removed myself from all waitlists, and declined my seat in the LVN program last year, but I just got my letters and got into both LVN programs. I haven't gotten my letter for the RN program yet! Good Luck in nursing school!!!:)

    Hey Guys! I got the letter today and I'm number 26 on the waitlist for LVN program! I guess that means I probably have a year wait. I'm totally excited! I don't know what to do with myself in the mean time. :)
