How many students did your nursing program accept for your class?

Published

i will be attending UAMS in little rock, arkansas and last year they accepted 140 students and this year...205:banghead: i mean...this is the most they have EVER accepted so i'm getting really really nervous...anyone else out there????

Norhtwest in Senatobia, Ms accepts 70 per class, 1 in spring & 1 in fall. There are like 300 or so that apply each time. You have to have a certain score on your ACT, NET & a GPA for at least 2.5 I think.

my school selects 20 twice a year for the LPN program. This fall my school will do it's first ever ASN class.They are accepting only 20. My school's region only had ASN classes at the bigger campus in Kokomo, but they only accept 20 twice a year as well. We are breaking ground for a new campus, so this is the only ASN class at this campus for at least 2 years. Then they are planning on getting a traditional ASN class up and running on the same schedule as the LPN.

They accept 30 once a year, every fall - this is at a community college.

They shoot for a class of 32 per year (accelerated 2nd BSN), so they accept a few more than that, figuring not all will come. I heard that backfired on them last year, and they ended up with a class of 40!!

200 a year= 100 each semester, 50 each at two campuses!! lol :D UAMS is a big school. I was considering going there when I lived in Arkansas.

yes modelmama, uams is a big school!! i'm really nervous b/c the nursing program starts in the summer only and it is supposedly the time when they weed out all the "bad eggs" i guess you could say...i've heard that they don't know exactly where they are going to put all 200 of us...this should be interesting!!!

Clayton State University in suburban Atlanta admitted 45 from 250 applicants. And they wonder why there is a shortage.

The community college Im at now excepts about 60 each fall, out of the 200-300 applicants for their LPN program.

Allen College is where I'll be going when I finish my pre reqs, and they only except 45 a semester. These numbers seem pretty typical for schools in smaller communities and the competition kinda sucks, but if there wasnt a shortage or a need for nurses then we wouldnt have so much to look foward too. The double edged sword.. ha!
