hi , I am not sure about the schools there but I live in a small town, and the 3 areas that have nursing schools near me are small also and they are very competitive, so i suggest that you apply to atleast 2 or 3 or more .then if you are accepted to more than one you can make a decision then, but I applied to 2 of them and one I did not get accepted and the other i did and I was very thankful , that I decided to apply to more than 1... otherwise I would be sitting out.. but perhaps you may get accepted to all that you apply.. .... I am now in my last semester and you will be there soon also! GOOD LUCK..................
