Apply to another program? Take EMT and maybe paramedic if feasible? Finish a bachelor's in something else and then do an Accelerated BSN? Get a job and wait?
I really recommend the medical terminology class because it helped me with nursing questions by learning the root words, suffix, etc. Plus it will keep you working on stuff while waiting on your program (if you decide to wait it out).
Our program required a 100% on med calc at the beginning of each semester and having that class will help if you aren't super strong in math, but I didn't take the med calc class and did fine.

Hi I was wondering if anyone else was stuck on a waiting list and had any suggestions as to whether it was worthwhile to stick it out (in my case a year and half) take some nursing classes that available to the public, such as medical terminology, principles of drug adminstration, calculations of pharmacology etc. or does it make sense to enroll in an LPN program and later bridge.
I currently have a decent job, not in the medical field, and while I am fascinated by nursing, I do not have to work ASAP in the field, unless it will make me a better nurse.
