Can anyone recommend a school that is not really really hard to get into? I am going to apply to mine here next year, but I don't want to sit around applying for the next 10 years. I talk to so many people who have applied 3 or 4 times to my school and still have not got in yet. I am looking for one anywhere on the east coast. Thank you.

Where on the east coast? Can you board there?
Private schools are easier to get into than state, usually. More expensive by a lot.
I am in Florida but i would rather be in NC, Va or Pa. I am just very limited in the area i live in without having to commute 2 hrs to Orlando.

Unfortunately all I can say is that you'll probably have to relocate. Do whatever you can to increase your competitiveness (i.e. volunteer at a hospital, work at a hospital, get your CNA, raise your GPA by repeating classes, etc..) and if that doesn't work, apply to private schools. Private schools are generally much easier to get in to, although they do cost MUCH more than state schools or community colleges.
Another option you might consider is getting your LVN. There are several LVN-RN bridge programs around. It will take longer to obtain your RN, but atleast there's another route you can take to get there.
