I recieved my letter a couple days ago that I was selected as an alternate for the ADN program. What should I expect. Do they rank the alternates, and would it be ok for me to ask where I stand on the alternate list? Should I start to prepare myself for the nursing program? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!

angrn10 1 Post Apr 4, 2011 It is definately okay to ask the nursing dept. staff about your status...and yes, each applicant is numbered by GPA, ACT score, classes completed, etc. ! Someone who was accepted into the program may have been accepted somewhere else and decide to decline their position at PC. Occasionally, someone will decide at the last minute that they don't actually want to begin the nursing program and a slot will open up. You should tentatively be prepared to start the program, but also have a "plan B" in mind. It could actually be near the first week of school before you would have a definate answer!! Good Luck!!

Just in case go ahead and get all your financial aid straightened out for this college and your alternate, I'm sure that a lot of people like me got accepted to Prestonsburg campus too, or even decided to go to National (they have a September start), so they won't be going (but I'm definitely going to Pikeville, best program around hands down).
