Was anyone an alternate

Published

I was wondering if anyone was an alternate for their LPN/LVN nursing program, and got in the first week, and also what number were you? The reason I'm asking to see what my chances are, they picked 30 people for the program and 10 alternates, I'm alternate #6. I talked to students who are in the program now and they said they used all 10 alternates the first week. thank You

Hang in there. My best friend in LPN school was an alternate that got the call 1 week before classes started! Keep us posted. Fingers crossed for you.

I was originally waitlisted for LPN school, but I was not told what number I was on the list, nor did I ask. It was my first time applying for nursing school, so I accepted the rejection and decided that I would not pursue nursing at that time.

I recieved a phone call 3 weeks before classes started! I wish you the best of luck!

I just got the phone call yesterday for my ASN program that starts in March....

I didn't think it would happen either, but it did.

Hang in there!

Blessings~

Thanks, this makes me feel a little better. You just have people telling you not to sit around and wait because I'm probably not going to get picked, then on the other hand I have people telling that I will get in. I just hope and pray that I do. I wanted to do this all my life, but didn't have a chance.

I was an alternate (due to secretary misplacing part of my file). I did get in the program and graduated #1. I just had to show them...LOL. Don't give up, there were at least 5-6 that got in who were alternates. Keep calling and checking...sometimes it keeps you on their minds:)

I won't know anything until sometime in December, the ones who don't show up and the week of January 5-9, 2009, if they quit their first week

Did you apply to TN Tech at Dickson Clarksville campus?
