Nursing Program?

Hello Everyone
I'm Just Wondering, Are You Having A Hard Time Entering A Nursing Program Like Me? Are There Too Much Applicants On Your School Too? If Not, Please Let Me Know Co'z I'm Really Planning To Transfer To Any School That Guarantees An Admission To The Program. Thank You...

Yes, yes, yes! I got denied with a 3.77 on my pre-reqs because there were 115 applicants with a 4.0!

Are there any schools around you that are based on a waiting list? Even then you may have to wait several semesters or years, but it may be good to at least be on a waiting list somewhere while still applying to other schools each semester.

Good luck to you! :)

I am on a waiting list for Kishwaukee College in Malta Illinois. It has an excellent reputation-one of the best in the state with a 98-99% pass rate. I was told that the waiting list is 2-21/2 years when I went to the required information meeting to get on the list. That was in Jan 05 and the other day the director of nursing told me it looks like I have a good chance of being called for fall 06!!! I am so excited. Good thing I took summer classes for prereqs! The min GPA is 2.75?I think with a 3 (out of 4) on all nursing specific courses. Their are other requirements too like algebra with a C or better and either 2 consec semesters of 6 credits of 100 level or above at 3.0 or above or 1 semester of 12 credits of the same. This is in northern illinois, 6 miles from DeKalb and northern IL University. The # is (815) 825-2086. Ask for the nursing department. I have 2 sister in laws and several friends who have gone here and those nurses are hired before the ones from other schools. I am shocked at the process at other schools, and the waiting list I was so bothered by turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It went so fast because alot on the list do not have their prereqs. I was #250 or so to start and 40 are admitted in fall and 35 in spring so a year and a half would mean over half dropped off in front of me!
