any nursing programs with no waitlist and with housing anywhere in the United States

I'm sure there are plenty of schools without a wait list. I would start by searching the area that you're interested in; find schools that might work for you, and then go from there. The US being so big, it's kind of hard to give you suggestions; maybe if you give us a particular region you're thinking of? California schools, for example, are pretty impacted, so it might be harder there.

As for housing for married couples, you're specifically looking for on-campus or campus-affiliated housing? I think you're just going to have to look on a case-by-case basis for that by looking at the housing websites for the schools you consider.

Pretty much every state has at least a couple schools with no waitlist. They are competitive entry, and based on GPA and TEAS/HESI with a handful of other requirements. The only waitlist schools are non competitive entry and usually at CCs but I know some unis waitlist as well. Just google search the nursing schools in your state and see which ones have a competitive entry. Then from there, you can contact them and see if they offer apartment housing for families. Many universities have both dorms, as well as little apartments meant for students with families, or those who don't mind paying a little more for more space. Gl on your search. If you don't have a competitive GPA and entrance exam score you will be hard pressed to find a reputable school that has no waitlist and offers housing, and isn't a $100,000 ADN degree.

I went to the University of Maine at Fort Kent. I applied in April and was accepted into nursing for that fall. The reason why the college has no waitlists is basically because it is in the middle of nowhere. It is located in a nice quiet town about an hour away from the closest Walmart. But the program is steadily growing. About ten years ago the graduating class for nursing was well under 20. This year (my graduation) between the traditional BSNs, Accelerated BSNs and the ADN to BSN programs there were nearly 90 graduates. Your clinical experiences won't be the same as those found in larger cities, but it is a solid and respected University in the nursing world. The campus does not offer housing for married couples but the rent for apartments off campus are pretty cheap. Many people move off campus to save on costs.

There are a lot of schools that do not have a wait list. Perhaps I am wrong, but I would even say that most do not have a wait list outside the list created each acceptance cycle for alternates. What you will run into at almost all colleges and universities, however, is highly competitive application processes. Find the schools you are interested in, research their requirements, make sure you meet their requirements, and start applying. That is the only way you are going to get it. Good luck!

There are plenty, you just have to look for them. Most of those would be 4 year universities, as most community colleges do not have housing. I would use google.

As PP said, many programs do not have a "wait list" because unsuccessful applicants simply have to re-apply for the next term. Everything is re-set to zero each semester.
