Average Wait

At my community college for ADN, I waited 2 years before I even started the program... It's a 2 year program, btw.

I have had to wait two years, three if you count the year I had to take my prenursing classes before I could even apply anywhere.

two year wait list.... private college. Completed first year of pre-reqs with a 4.0 and I was bumped into the next start class after only a year. It was HIGHLY competitive and the highest GPA's took the next slot over those ahead of them on the list. Our board pass rate was the best in the area.

I haven't heard of any schools in my area that have a wait to get in. It all depends on if you get accepted or not. I got wait listed to a school, but if I don't get in off the wait list this year I have to reapply for next year. Good luck!

Including pre-req's 2 years.

I would think that it depends a lot on where you are and what pre-req's you have completed. I'm decided to be a nurse in December 06, started pre-req's January 07, applied to nursing school in February, was accepted in March, will finish my pre-req's August, and start nursing classes the last week of August. But, I already have an undergraduate degree, and there are 4 total BSN programs in my city. So, with those factors in mind I would think that around here there isn't much of a waiting list at any school. However, in another state where I wanted to apply it would have been probably 1.5-2 years before I could start nursing classes. Depends a lot on where you are, I think. Good luck!
