How many times were you rejected before getting into nursing program?

You apply to the college and select the nursing program on the application! Sometimes you can get accepted into the school itself but not the nursing program because of the wait list or certain requirements.. so at that point you could enroll into your college classes and work on your pre-requisites until a spot opens up.

At our community colleges, you have to fill out a nursing application regardless of what you put on the application into the college. Is this not the same everywhere? So I'm wondering if I need to apply to the college first or submit an application first then get enrolled into the school.

I only applied once into the BSN program and got in with my cumulative GPA and prerequisite GPA before they changed the requirement of NLN test score... It's hard to get in, but harder to stay in the program I tell you that. But I think staying hopeful really helps.

If they require you to be accepted into the university first before you can apply to the nursing program then you do that first and wait on the admission decision for the college itself.
