You make very good points and make me feel better about it! Congrats on getting in both times you were an alternate! I guess 8 alternate seems high compared to 42 accepted but you're right, people are waiting for other school decisions, the alternates ahead of me might be waiting for others as well. I will have to wait and see, like you said, till I at least get the update in February. It seems to be a competitive school but in the state there are several nursing colleges as well (Colorado). That's amazing the alternate 18 got accepted and gives me hope! Congrats to her as well! The original email got me down about it but looking through some of these other posts and your reply has def made me relax more and just be patient with the outcome. Thank you so much-I appreciate it! ?

Hello, I just got back my letter from an accelerated Nursing program as an alternate. I'm OK with it but am sad because of how hard I've worked to even apply. I didn't do so well in my first undergrad degree (completely different field), but with my prereqs I did really well. The HESI I did well but could have been better. So I understand why I was placed as an alternate. I shouldn't have placed all my eggs in one basket but this was the program that fits me best and I was really really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I'm number 8 which seems less likely to get in but still praying I'll make it somehow. From the previous year stats the program accepts 42 students, typically around 91 apply and 18 are alternates. Does anyone have experience being an alternate to a nursing program? Is it likely for an alternate to get in? Thanks for any advice! ?

Hello! I just found this post and I just received my letter today as an alternate. Do you happen to know the chances of an alternate being accepted? I'm not too high on the alternate list but really hoping I might still be accepted. Thanks for any info/stats you might have! :)

Hello, I am needing advice on how to select an RN program from a different country. I am currently in Pre Nursing courses right now and took a CNA course (but did not take the test since I am moving). Originally, I was planning on staying at my college and continue to their nursing program, however, my husband is in the military and has received orders for Germany. We will be there 4 years and I do not want all of my classes to go to waste and would like to be an RN within the next couple of years. I tried asking my advisor and the head Nursing program director but they could not help me and did not know anything about other programs. I have also talked to some acquaintances and they said the University of Maryland had some out of country students taking online courses. As well as Southern New Hampshire University has an online program for Nursing and the acquaintances son received his degree and is now a working Nurse for a hospital. However, when I looked at these sites and requested info, they said the only programs are RN-BSN and are for licensed Nurses only. I am stuck on where to look and how to find a flexible program that I can do either in person in Germany or some of it online and maybe fly back for clinicals or something. Oh and I do have a degree in a completely different field. Not sure if that is relevant or could help in some way. Any advice and any one in a similar situation?? Thank you so much!
