HI carmen, thanks for getting back to me. yeah I thought about saint joseph, but its the same process, they also have a good program. I spoke to the receptionist at ccsu nursing program and she said that changes of getting call from the wait list is slim to now and I will have to reapply next year. what I have done is I applied for the LPN program with Lincoln. I start in sept and the program ends in aug 2012. I went on a leave of absent from ccsu until fall 2012 I will be done with lincoln by then, and I will reapply to the rn program at ccsu in mar 2012. if I dont get in for fall 2012 I will just do a lpn bridge to rn program which will be much easier. good luck to u as well.
