dear all: i am trying to get into the nursing program after finishing my pre-req classes. wherever i go, there is a long waiting period to get into these programs and i am running around to find schools where there is no waiting list or a very minimal waiting list. i am sure there are many students who are looking for this information. can you help me and students like me to compile a list of schools within united states (any states) or canada where the waiting list does not exist ? i am sure there are many students and faculty who are part of this allnurses.com forum and we can create such a list. please also mention if there is a fast-track program for 4-year bachelor's degree holder. i heard of few schools such as university of calgary, canada where they offer 2 year fast-track program for bn if you already have a bachelor's degree and completed few pre-req classes. thanks a million to everybody ! here is my list: 1. university of calgary have 2 year bn program for 4-year college graduate. visit the following link: [color=#003399]http://www.ucalgary.ca/nu/programs/undergrad/bnat/bnatprogramofstudies.htm [color=#003399]http://www.starthere.ucalgary.ca/default.asp?v_doc_id=994 usha

The option of getting into 2 year BN program is really good. I contacted University of Calgary and I hopefully they will accept my admission for Fall 2006. Anybody knows if there is a waiting list for BN-AT (BN in accelerated Track...that is what they call it !!), in this University ? My GPA in undergraduate is not that great...it is just 3.10 (after all, I disliked CS and wanted to switch to Nursing...:-). Do I have a chance ? Thanks for all these great posts from friends who I had never met. Usha

Hi: I did not know that RN program in Canada is 4 year program. That might be the reason why I did not see any Associate degrees towards RN program just like here in USA. Is this true throughout the Canada or just in Ontario ? I am a permanent resident of Canada and I should not be considered international student. We landed in Canada on Feb 2005 but could not move sooner. Does this mean I will have to pay international student fee or state fee ? One more twist into this...I had finished 4-year degree in Computer Engineering and currently working towards my masters in CS. I just want to switch career to Nursing and was wondering if my current 4-year degree will be of any help towards getting qualified to appear for RN license exam. I really appreciate all the help I am getting here. Thanks, Usha

Thanks for the info. I will contact Univ of Windsor and see if they will accept me as their student. Was discouraged to see the waiting list, though !!

Hi All: I have got few question about getting into a RN in canadian colleges and was wondering if someone could help me to get answers to these questions. 1. How can I get into a RN program in canada ? Can you give few colleges near Windsor, ON in canada ? 2. Will they accept my pre-requisites that I had completed in USA ? 3. How is the situation about the admission process in Canadian colleges as far as the waiting list is concerned ? Can I jump start my Nusring program or will have to go through a painful waiting period ? 4. If I pass the RN program in canada, can I practice in USA or vise-versa? Thansk a lot for your kind help. Usha
