Oh okay, Because on the day of the zoom meeting ----------------------- said she will give more info this week for the alternatives/ waitlist. Do you know how many student gets accepted to the nursing program , its no longer on the website.

I emailed her today she said she might not have an update this week. I asked her how many alternatives there were and if I may know what number am I and she didn’t give me any answer just said it’s based on the multicriteria

Thanks for the update. I’m also an alternate, it’s frustrating because she said we should be “ready to go” but I don’t want to spend money on the background check and then not be chosen

Thank You for the update.

Not to sure if this helps. But I was an alternate at Rio’s LVN Program. And now accepted to their Bridge Program. But as an alternate I went through the entire 1st semester and 3 people didn’t pass so those were the open spots for us. There was 5 alternates so we literally pulled cards for our spots. But hold on because there are students that are accepted and don’t follow through in the program so spots will open up when it’s closer to the date we need to turn in all our stuff. Good luck!
