Hi there NedRN and Jeremy! My name is Whitney and I am interested in becoming an IC Nurse. Would love to find the post that NedRN wrote in 2003. Is there a way to het the link to this information? I have already learned so much from reading this theard and I am so thankful for you taking the time to educate the community on becoming an IC Nurse.

Did those who applied for the 7th time this year get in? I applied for my 6th time and didn't get in, just wondering the chances of getting in for the 7th time.

That is ok, stats by themselves won't explain the numbers. It seems as though Butte College rewards persistence in nursing enrollment. Since they use a lottery system, it would seem logical that they give multiple applicants extra entries in the lottery. Therefore, the more times you apply, the more entries you get, increasing your chance of success. Since many applicants apply to multiple schools, the number of re-applying students drops due to acceptance in other schools. This reduces the number of 5,6 and 7 time applicants thus increasing the probability of success for those that persist.

Hello all, I attended a nursing workshop at butte college today and I wanted to share the current stats on the lottery selection (i.e your percent chances of getting selected per time you re-apply). 1st time: 2% 2nd time: 3% 3rd time: 4% 4th time: 5% 5th time: 6% 6th time: 15% 7th time: 65% Hope that is a help to some of you out there!
