I just wanted to get a general idea of how many schools(programs) other pre-nursing students will apply to. I will be applying out-of-state to eight schools. The majority being in Florida(I'm from CT). Just wondering how many other people would be applying to. Also is that number to high? Should I limit the number of applications? Thanks. 0 Likes

dt70 Aug 24, 2014 What about schools that require you to be a current student in the university before applying to their nursing program? 0 Likes
MissJess Aug 25, 2014 No, you are smart to apply to several! It just increases your chances, which is probably what you want. :) Let us know if you got in.... GL 0 Likes

MissMoo25, BSN, MSN, RN, APRN, NP Specializes in Pediatrics, Long Term Care. Aug 27, 2014 I applied to 1 due to the different admission requirements and a limited selection and got into that one! But if you meet the qualifications for many that are doable for you apply to them ALL! If I had the choice I would have applied to many more just as a back up. 0 Likes
