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! :-)
Good news! :-) My husband is requesting to be discharged from the military early so that we can move to Humboldt county before fall semester starts. So I decided to keep my spot at number 4 and hopefully get offered a seat this fall. As a back up plan (in case my husband is not able to get the early discharge) I can try to move into the on campus housing and I might know someone who lives in the area that I could stay with for a few months during fall semester (in case housing is all filled up). This has been one stressful week! lol
Do you guys really think I have a good chance of getting a seat for this fall with my number being 4? I hope so! Also, how mandatory is the June 10th orientation? If I get accepted and can't make it, will I lose my seat? And I know numbers 1-10 are invited, but if I don't show up and a seat becomes available, would I lose my chance? I emailed the college about this, so hopefully I hear back from them soon.
Being # 4, I think that you will definately get in, but I don't know what will happen if you don't show up to the mandatory orientation. Make sure you get a response about that, and if they say it's ok for you to miss it then you should try to get something in writing that says that...just to make sure!

Futurenurse84, thanks for the feedback :-) I contacted the school and was told that my chances of getting in this Fall are good, so I will keep my fingers crossed! At least I'm guaranteed to get into the Fall 2013 program if I don't get in this fall. I let the health occupations office know that I wont be able to make it to the orientation on June 10th, so they are making note of that. I guess they might even videotape the orientation for students in my situation. I will contact them again closer to June 10th to make sure that they know I wont be there for the orientation.
