I feel for you. My school thank heaven was not this way. They did away with the waiting list for admissions.

The way it works if you apply and are don't get in this year then you must reapply next year all over again.

It used to be a first come first served basis and you could stay on a waiting list for 5 years. Now they only select the best qualified candidates. The percent who graduate went way up (according to the faculty) once they became more selective about who got in.

I did neither- camping out for tickets or school, aint' my style.

I would have pursued another degree/classes while in waiting. (actually I DID just THIS).....

but that's just me. I had to wait, too., and when my chance came, I jumped on it.

good luck. I wish you well and hang in there.:)

I love the feedback....

angus... our school is like your's used to be.

When i went to apply to the program I actually encountered a line that had been growing since 1200 am the night before, at least 50 people. Now at each bimester there's this same mad rush to secure the 'coveted' clinical site.... sheesh... I hate this kind of stress!

:rolleyes:

Oh yeah,

I've gotten some really good tickets camping out before, and at least this semester I'm in the section I wanted anyway.

IF they paid nursing instructors MORE... then there wouldn't be such a shortage of instructors... IF there were more instructors, then there would be a lot more seats available. (I really do sympathize with you and share your frustration. Sorry if I sound jaded, but we just had ANOTHER instructor quit at our cc... for higher salary elsewhere.)
