Lpn to ADN nursing program

Published

Hello, 

I applied to a lpn to ADN program. I recently was told that I was put on the alternate list. I was ranked 2# but the first declined her position so I was bumped to first. This is so frustrating because I know I'm qualified. My GPA for one school was 4.0 and the other 3.75. I started out as a caregiver, CNA, then Lpn. So I have experience. Anyway.. My thing is because I was placed as an alternate I feel like I have been placed under the rug. I responded promptly to reserve my spot and had a couple follow up questions. The Director never responded so I emailed student resources, she did not respond, so I emailed again. I wanted to know on average in the previous years have they pulled from the alternate list and is there anything I could have done better to improve my odds. They accept up to 30 but their outcome year report has stayed around 20. Their website makes it seem like they strongly push their lpn to con. through their bridge program. Of that note, the lpn program accepts 40, so that is a huge gap for outsiders. Anyway my nerves are through the roof. I wanted to hear from other nurses or non nurse in this position... The school is in a somewhat rural area so not many other schools around. What are my chances of getting in if only 20-24 students are let in? I know some may still be taking classes, have to take drug test, etc. It is basically a waiting game and I'm left in the dark. Id like to prepare as much as possible if I do get in but the school did not say anything about what to do. Ahhh
