Solano Community College Cancelled Spring 2010 RN classes

U.S.A. California

Published

I just wanted to let anyone who is on Solano Community College nursing program waitlist know that there will be no spring 2010 nursing class. From now on they will only accept people into nursing program once a year in fall semester. That’s 30 people a year!!!!! Only 30 people a year! Imagine the wait time!!! People had to wait two to three years when they were accepting students twice a year and now it’ll be even worse! If anyone knows any more information about this you are more than welcome to share. I was supposed to get in this spring…I am so very sad…I can’t imagine what I am going to do now. I think this is going to be a tragedy for many people.

Hopefully it will give the job market some time to pick up, instead of pumping more unemployed nursing grads into the market. This might be a blessing. Now if some other schools would do this, it may help ease the market some. Kotiki, hang in there, it will happen when it's supposed to happen....

I have conversated with several nursing students at my old CC and at my current University and I found that alot of them didnt even know that new grads are having a hard time finding jobs.

There are going to be 48 students admitted for the Fall 2011 Nursing Class. I have been on the waitlist almost 2 years and am currently number 84. For the last two years they have gone through over 100 students on the waitlist to fill the class... so I'm very hopeful to start in August! There were 56 students that took the NCLEX for the 09-10 school year (according to the BRN website) but it doesn't really specify when those students graduated the program. Anyway, good luck to everyone out there, whether getting into nursing school or finding work.
