How many does your program admit?

[Momto2monsters]

After much debating with myself, I went ahead and applied for nursing school for fall semester. I have just got to take microbiology next summer.

I was wondering, how many does your program admit each year? My program (if I get in and I feel confident I will, but will know for sure by the end of next week:roll ) admits 100 in the fall. It does not admit in the spring. Last year, 150 applied, but of course only 100 got in. They go by GPA and how many coreqs completed. I know that last year they took down to a 2.2 average, and I have a 3.5.

Our LPN program admits 75. I am not sure how many the ADN admits, but I guess I will find out!

64 rn students will start in our program next month.

The ADN program I attend accepts 48 students in the fall and spring semesters. They're currently trying to get funding to up it to 64 new students each semester.

An average of 80 students apply for 30 positions in each new class. So my class is starting with 29 females and 1 male. I hope we have a good success rate. It's sad to see so many drop out by graduation.

Our program only allows 75 in. Last fall 75 started and there are now 30!!! Pretty scary!!!

My program is an Associate RN program and 30 students a quarter get accepted into the program. I believe over 100 people apply each quarter. We are accepted based on gpa and health care experience.

oh i ment to say after just one quarter we have gone from 30 students down to 22. We lost a few students in the first week to not wanting to run around to watch videos and to read magizine articles weekly. Then we lost a student who watched her first video on pericare and got sick to her stomach!!! We lost 3 or 4 students who could had trouble with communication class. One woman was pregnant and wanted to enjoy her pregnancy so she is taking a few quarters off.

I am not sure how many are let in to the actual nursing program per year. The college I go to also offers degrees in respiratory therapy, 3 different concentrations in radiography and a hospital management major. The entire school has an average of 500 students per year. That is for all years all majors. They do require a 2.5 GPA for admission. I am also not sure of how many people apply per year.

This year our university admitted 50-some students into a 4-yr BScN program, from an qualified applicant pool of 180 or so. Next year, with the double-cohort in Ontario, and the ever-increasing minimum entry requirements, it will be even more difficult. And I am not what I have heard one instructor call "the cream of the crop" applicant. High-school dropout, low GED score (who'd a thunk a GED score would actually mean something someday?!)less-than-stellar references, etc, etc, etc...

After working in a technical field most of my adult life I wanted to do something that would really impact peoples lives positively. Not the behind-the-scenes stuff I had been doing. I didn't choose nursing for the money, I chose it because I really felt I was suited to be a nurse, I have the personal qualities I think are important. Number one being actually caring about peoples welfare, rather than seeing them as the "sheep" a former roomate descibed them as.

I've come to the end of my rope. I've searched universities across Canada, and even into the US hoping to find one where I have even the slightest realistic chance of admission. Even two years in the US at an ADN school is affordable for me. At this point I almost believe I would be better off using my education funds to buy lottery tickets.

Hey folks, sorry for the rant, I am just completely discouraged. Lemme ask you all something.

first of all, let me say and welcome! i am to understand you to say that you can't be accepted because you have a ged? i know there are some wonderful students and graduates who "just" have a ged and did well. please, i know it may seems discouraging, but don't give up. what about the option of another school/country? i do wish you well and keep the faith!

I understand a GED is ok for some schools. I'm just discouraged by the sheer number of people applying, and how I fit into the crowd. Although I knew applying was a "competitive process", I am just now realizing what it's going to take as far as academics and everything else goes, and the simple fact is I don't have it.

Sometimes you follow a path to a dead end. Unfortunate, but thats how it is.
