nursing program without waitlist

[sue19]

I am currently a biology major and i am thinking of changing my major to nursing. i have completed almost 2.5 yrs of my degree and most of the classes i have taken are easily transferable to nursing.I am looking for a RN program with no wait list it doesn't matter what state the college or university is in. I am just simply looking for a no wait list RN program and also a school that accepts international students, coz i am an international studen. I want to get started asap.So please if you know any college or university that matches this kindly reply to this post...

Chamberlain College of Nursing in Addison, IL. They just started up their program, so they have no waiting as of yet.

Baptist College of Health Sciences in Memphis,Tn. BSN without a waitlist. You have to pass a entrance exam and have at least a 3.0 GPA.

Katy,

Some of the technical colleges/community colleges in GA take applications on a continuous basis and the students are placed on the waiting list while they complete their pre-reqs! When their name comes up on the list, if they meet said minimum requirements they are accepted into the program and if not the next individual on the waiting list is accepted instead. I know people who have actually dealt with these 2-year waiting list and I happen to think this is a ridiculous admissions process!

My school is exactly like yours, if you apply and don't get in you are placed on a waitlist just in case someone doesn't accept the offer and if not accepted for that cycle must reapply for next time. However, our waitlist applicants get extra points for being on the waitlist, as our school does a point system that determines admission into the program.

None. Everyone and their grandmother is trying to get into nursing because of the economy and the quick 2 yr program. Besides, most schools take preference to students who have taken all or most of their prereqs at the particular school where the nursing program is at and they prefer residents. So say if you move to another state, you will have to wait a full year before you have residency status at the school. You will be considered a non-resident and your tuition will be 100% higher than residents and you will be put very last to the waiting list. So some schools may have a shorter waiting list than others but they exist everywhere. Some nursing programs like here where I'm at are going by GPA now instead of the traditional waiting list but they still prefer residents over non-residents.

You can apply at Armstrong Atlantic State University. They accept international students in their program. In fact, three students in my class were international students. Granted you will always pay out of state tuition because you not be considered a in state resident, but you will get in. Your GPA good enough to get in the program and you have most of the core classes completed. Here is the website: Armstrong Atlantic State University Savannah, GA Check to see when you apply. I believe they open up applications to new students in January. If this doesn't work out check out all the schools in GA. None of the school here, including the one I mentioned, have a wait list. You wanna void area's like CO b/c they always have a 2+ year waitlist. Hope this helps.

Be sure and ask whatever school you are thinking of how many new grads get jobs. There are many new grad RNs without work because we have graduated too many. I think some school will take your tuition knowing that there is an over supply of nurses looking for work.

I think it must be a regional thing. In my area, the community college does straight admissions, no wait list, period. The universities around here do a wait-list but it's more inline with a traditional college waitlist, where you're called off it if others decide not to accept admissions but once the class starts, you have to reapply for the next admission cycle.

You know that is a true statement. I actually had to move away from Savannah to look for a job. It sucks that schools don't really tell you about your chances of getting job. They just want your money.

Yep, if a person has a 4 year degree they can apply to a direct entry RN- MSN program. Why cause those schools don't have much in the way of financial assistance and sky high tuition.
