How many schools did you apply to?

Published

I applied to 5 schools. Had to take the TEAS for one, the NET for another and the NLN for the rest. :specs:

So far, I've been wait listed for one, and accepted to another. Still waiting to hear from the rest, which includes my first choice!

I applied to 5 schools and got into 4. My first choice I was waitlisted. In hindsight I would have applied to more schools. I'm a second degree student and I really wanted to pursue grad school to become a nurse pracitioner, but programs are so competitive in my area.

But since I did get into my second choice I really didnt need to apply to the rest of the schools. Although, it is nice to have options and insurance that I would be going atleast somewhere. I honestly didnt have any plans if I didnt get in this year and it would have been another year of waiting.

Any suggestions for nursing school interview?

What kind of interview? Is it phone or in-person? All my schools required interviews. I've done one-on-one, group and phone interviews.

Feel free to PM if you need any specific advise on interviews and there are also some good threads about interviewing.

I'm only applying to one . . . it's the CC where I'm doing my prereqs. Their program it's good, it's the most convenient, and it's the cheapest. I've also applied to my local hospital for a scholarship, and their scholarship is in conjunction with the cc, so I'd have to go there if I got the scholarship (fingers crossed). Actually, there's not really a question of getting in . . . if you meet the requirements, it's first come, first served. So it's just a matter of this year or next year, because I have to finish this semester before I can apply.
