Hi everyone,

I am applying for the Nursing programs again this year. I have been told so many times that it is all about who you know that would guarantee a you spot in most nursing programs, especially here in an impacted are where I am located. Last year I applied and didn't get accepted. I had a discussion with a friend whose roomate got in because of her mother not GPA or other application requirements. Is this true? :confused:

Specializes in Specializes in L/D, newborn, GYN, LTC, Dialysis.

not true in my experience.

I can't speak for all programs nationwide----It may help to know someone???

who knows? But honey, it's what you know not who, that in the end will KEEP you in nursing school. Gaining entry is only the beginning. You have to finish!

Thanks for replying. I definately don't agree with. I was really disappointed. I hear this quite often though. What was so upsetting is that the girl that got in decided not to go because she didn't like the age group of most of the people that were in the program. I couldn't believe this because for someone like me that has had a passion for nursing and didn't get accepted, would jump at anything to began my nursing career, but for someone else to have opportunity and not take a chance, that could have been someone else's spot!

not true in my experience.

Oh sorry, don't agree with getting into programs by who you know.
