Anyone heard any updates about the SMC waitlist time? I was accepted as of Oct 2010, and told 2-3 semesters, and it says this on the website. Is it realistic to expect to start Fall 2011?
Also - I have seen some people mention their waitlist number, but I have not been able to get this info from the counselors. Any advice?
Yay thats good! Did u get an alternate number? They sent me one and then sent another email right after saying they gave me the incorrect number... ive been calling and emailing to see if they can let me know the correct alternate number but no response yet.. hope we both get in! Good luck :)
I thought i left a reply but guess it didn't go through. Yes I got an alternate number and I will be going to orientation so hopefully i get in. I keep hearing that they usually go through quite a few alternates but who knows. I guess we just wait and see. Not sure if they would notify us before the orientation if our alternate number comes up or if we will just find out that day. Good luck!
You have a pretty good shot of getting in. I'm finishing up my second semester of SMC's nursing program now. I think most of the alternates except for a few got in during my entrance period. You'll find out your alternate number at orientation and if you make it in. You might be able to call the nursing office and find out too. But it could also change between now and your orientation based on who chooses to accept/decline admission.
The first semester was alright, not too hard. N20 sucks, it was really hard - we lost like 5 students of less than 40. Never studied so hard for a class before, let alone just to pass - but it's do-able, just form study groups right away. I'm in N25 and N28 now, which is easier. N30 is supposed to be the hardest - I'm not looking forward to that. The program produces great nurses and the pass rate for the NCLEX is 98%. And it's flying by so fast. Good luck!! I gotta go write three papers now.

Anyone have any information about the upcoming semester? (spring 2013) I took the pax-rn on Oct 10 during this last testing period and was just wanting to know if anyone has heard anything!
