RN Program Competition

Published

Hello everyone! I'm a junior in highschool, and I'm getting my prereqs done for the RN program at a local community college, so hopefully I can start the RN program by winter 2012.

Unfortunately my gpa isn't very high, and the highest I can bring it up to is probably a 3.36, and the average gpas of those who got accepted into the RN program at my cc was a 3.8!

To help my chances I'm doing the CNA program this summer and I'm volonteering at an old people place also.

There are almost 200 students who apply for the RN program here, and there are only 30 seats available.

There are 15 other community colleges in my state that I could attend if they accept me, but they're all just as competitive, but I am planning on applying to all of them.

aaah i'm so worried i won't get in:uhoh3:

ive heard horror stories about how some people applied 5 times to RN until finally just giving up

I reallyyy hope I get accepted though, but please I'd like to hear tips or your stories and difficulties with your application to the RN program.

Do you know of any commuity colleges with RN program's that are pretty easy to get into, whatever state...

Thank you so much in advance!

I was just going to post that I really hope you don't put "I volunteer at old people places" on your application. It sounds extremely degrading. You would refer to it as a Long Term Care facility.

Good luck.

I did all my pre reqs in WA about an hour from Seattle on the other side of the Tacoma Narrows, or a ferry ride from Seattle
