Hello Friends,
I currently attend Austin Community College, taking my prereq's for the Lvn program. Unfortunately I was informed that there is a wait list up until fall 2013 for the Lvn program, and the RN wait list is so long, the next available slot might be in two years. I would like to know if there any students out there that had to wait this long. Please Please let me know that there are people going through the same situation, and if not any advice....... Thanks yall.

I was going to Cincinnati State Technical College and was in the same situation. I would have to take about a year and a semester of pre-reqs before I could even be put on the waiting list, then I had to wait at least another year just to get into actual nursing classes. Then probably another year or more to finish the nursing classes. Needless to say, I'll be starting at Christ Hospital's nursing school at the end of the month. At Cincinnati State I just felt like graduation date was never going to come, and it was really hard to stay motivated when you feel like you're working towards nothing. Switching to a private school was scary for me because of the cost, but honestly in the end it will be worth it because now I know for sure that I'll be done with school in two years.
Thats the same feeling I have. I dont even have a date or time frame to be accepted into the nursing program, let alone a graduation date. There are not a lot of private schools here in austin texas. I am even contemplating relocating, but that would mean uprooting my family. I just hate the situation Im in especially since this is my second degree and I just want to do what I need to do, and get a job ASAP. I wish you well in your schooling and all, and Thanks for replying.

Hello WANT2BSN,
Im curious what your status is now? Im in the same situation you were. I have 2 more classes to take then I can apply to program. I really wanted RN but it would be impossible for me to get in. I just figure I'll do an online bridge program like excelsior.
