Butte College RN Program

Published

I have consecutively applied to the Butte College Nursing Program for the last 4 semesters (2 years!). When I first applied, I was aware of the waiting list but I was told that the 4th time applying would guarantee a spot in the program due to the increase in chances every semester. I just emailed the program directer who was very nice and helpful, but informed me that most students are getting in their 6th or 7th time applying! I would love to hear from others who are working toward the Butte RN program, how many times they have applied and so on...would love to hear some feedback on other's experiences!

I just applied to Butte for the first time as well. Just got the "included in the lottery" email! I hope all of you that have applied so many times get in this time around.

This will be my 6th time applying to the RN program and I was told I have a 50/50 shot this time and for sure will be in on my 7th application. I also found out going from LVN to RN is going to be very difficult and a long wait it seems so if anyone was told by a counselor like I was to apply for both and just transition, don't unless you are happy with just being an LVN for a year or two while waiting :) things change so often, its hard to keep up to speed. With all the time I've waited to get in, its hard to deal with the idea some people are getting in right away, I guess I'm just not that lucky, lol

When do they normally do the lottery? Does anyone know how long it takes to find out if you're in?

It's usually a couple weeks after the deadline.

Took 6 applications but I finally got accepted! Hang in there to those still applying, it will happen! I'm still in shock since I was so used to getting denied.
