I am not sure if you are the person that can answer my questions so if I have the incorrect person could you please provide me the email address of someone that can help me. My daughter will be eligible to apply to the nursing program based on the new admission guidelines for 2009-2011 in February 09. When her and I first went to speak to someone about the nursing program in the summer of 2007 the way it was explained was that in order to do away with the current wait list CCRI has they would take 90% of the students from the wait list and 10 % of the students would come from the pool of applicants based on the new performance guidelines. Then the plan was the following year take 80% from wait list and 20 % from performance based applications, then 70% and 30% etc....until the wait list was eventually gone. I cannot get anyone to tell me how many people remain on the "old" waiting list which I can't understand why because I'm only asking for a number. The last information I got was that the performance-based percentage for 2007 & 2008 was 10% and based on the number of students selected for fall 2008 at 10% (the Knight Campus accepts 90 students per class in the fall) so 9 performance based students were accepted. I then questioned the Knight Campus (because my daughter plans on the Lincoln campus) and I was told that the Flanagan Day students are grouped with the Knight Day students which total 90 students. According to my math at 10% this would mean only 4-5 students would be selected to go to the Lincoln campus and 4-5 for the Knight Campus? Now to add to my confusion on the top of the page for the Nursing Program Guidelines it shows the FALL nursing programs are, Warwick Days, Providence Days, Lincoln Evenings-Weekends, Newport Evenings-Weekends and SPRING Lincoln days and Newport days. I was also told that when my daughter applies she can only choose one location.
Also what will happen if you have 15 students with a 4.0 GPA?? What is the next determining factor; will it be the TEAS Test scores? I keep asking questions but I get the feeling that every time I ask a question in regards to where the old wait list is at and how many students will be taken from the old list and how many from the new performance based pool of applicants I get the run around. Please let me know the numbers. My daughter is deciding on taking the CNA classes in case she has to wait, and I have no problem with that; however I would like to know the numbers at this point in the game and try to figure out if she will be waiting one year, two years, five years???? I just cannot seem to get any valid information and the stories and rumors on Campus are horrible. Please can someone clear this matter up for me?
I look forward to hearing back from someone very soon.
