Do most people get into Nursing Schools on first try?

Published

Just wondering if people got in on their first try when applying to Nursing school. Also wondering what type of program people applied for (seems like all programs are so compeitive).

I guess I was luck b/c I got into a DE on the first try, but I know a bunch of people who didnt with excellent qualifications. It just made me wonder....

First try into LPN school, I got in. First time try into RN school was a wicked test...and I did not get in. Second time trying to get into RN school...no test, no waiting...I was lucky.

1st try RN program. My school (University of Tennessee at Martin) does not do waitlisting for years in advance. Only a handful of guys apply so I'm sure that gave me a big plus, although one I knew didn't get it, he had less than a 3.0 GPA though so I'm sure thats why.
