I was going to Cincinnati State Technical College and was in the same situation. I would have to take about a year and a semester of pre-reqs before I could even be put on the waiting list, then I had to wait at least another year just to get into actual nursing classes. Then probably another year or more to finish the nursing classes. Needless to say, I'll be starting at Christ Hospital's nursing school at the end of the month. At Cincinnati State I just felt like graduation date was never going to come, and it was really hard to stay motivated when you feel like you're working towards nothing. Switching to a private school was scary for me because of the cost, but honestly in the end it will be worth it because now I know for sure that I'll be done with school in two years.
