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????

Specializes in Emergency.
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!

SO true! It is definitely a double edged sword. haha

Specializes in Ante-Intra-Postpartum, Post Gyne.

I am the last class to be in the program that is 6 semesters which students were only selected in the spring and started in the fall (the classes below us changed to 5 semesters and accpt students in the fall and spring) and we started with 44 students (down to 22 but not because of failing...one girl's husband got transfered for work, another girl got pregnant and took time off, and one guy decited that nursing was not for him--and we gained a girl last semester that took time off from the class above us to get mroe expereince...ie work as a CNA) the classes below us accept 30 students per class.

At the school that I applied to around 900 apply for 150 spots. They only take students for the RN during the fall and the LNP in the fall and the spring. LNP takes 24 each time fore around 450 applications.

Praying to be in either group. I can always bridge later if I decide to.

Between 72-81 per year, based on budgetary factors. Admission is based on a points system. There are about 400 applicants per year.
