Schools without waiting list for 2year RN program???

[MrsCurious1]

Okay so I live in Madison, Wisconsin and I am looking to go to school and get my Associate's in Nursing (for now then may possibly go for my Bachelor's once I've started in the field). All of the technical/community colleges in Wisconsin have long frustrating waiting lists because of not having enough educators.......so my question is what are some nearby locations with schools that do not have waiting lists? I found schools in Florida that do not have waiting lists, there are a few prerequisite courses to take but nothing too complicated. So I am trying to find options somewhat closer before we decide on the big move, any info would be GREATLY appreciated!?!

Bryant and Stratton in Wauwatosa does not have a waiting list. At least there wasn't one when I started in May. I started my application process in January. There are three semesters a year, so If you started now you can probably get in for January or May of 2010. It is a two year RN program and they are now accredited NLNAC.

Also with the last class that graduated in July, out of the 13, 1 person failed NCLEX and 1 has not taken it yet. So the pass rate has greatly increased for NCLEX compared to what has been said in the pass about the pass rate. Most of them that have took NCLEX passed with 75 questions.

There is no wait list at Wauwatosa for the program. Each incoming cohort after me (I'm in 5th sem) is bigger than my cohort. But they increase the amount staff to accomendate the larger cohorts or offer more options for the class times avaliable.

So how was your education at Bryant & Stratton? I am enrolled for Jan 2011 and am nervous. I have 6 classes that transfer:

-ENG 101

-MATH 103

-A&P 1

-A&P 2

-MICROBIOLOGY

-PSYCH

I have see all these videos on youtube about how "B&S screwed me". I am a 33 year old male that has been an Engineer most of my career. I am just really concerned about getting to 5th semester and failing somehow. If a person fails, you lose your time, your money, and all your credits and it seems many fail in the final MedSurg 2 class and ATI.

Any first hand info?
