HELLO ALL! MY MIND IS PLAYING OUT DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES, BUT JUST HEAR MY OUT. I HAVE HAVE APPLIED TO TWO DIFFERENT C.C. SCHOOLS FOR NURSING. ONE SCHOOL I APPLIED TO FOR ADN WILL START SPRING '08. THE SECOND I APPLIED TO BOTH THEIR ADN & LPN PROGRAM. IF I'M ACCEPTED TO THE SPRING'08 PROGRAM, GREATPROBLEM SOLVED. NOW HERE'S PROGRAM WITH THE SECOND SCHOOL, THE LPN PROGRAM STARTS SPRING '08 & THE ADN STARTS SUMMER '08. SO NATUARLLY, I WILL KNOW IF I'M ACCEPTED TO THE LPN BEFORE THE ADN. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE LONG ROUTE OF DOING THE LPN PROGRAM IF I CAN GET INTO A ADN PROGRAM. PLUS I PLAN ON GETTING MY BSN ANYWAY.
I REALLY WANT TO START A NURSING PROGRAM ASAP BEFORE FALL'08 ( AND YES I ALREADY HAVE THE REQUIRED CLASSES, JUST NEED TO GET ACCEPTED)
I WONDER IF THERE'S ANYWAY TO FIND OUT BEFORE HAND OF MY CHANCES OF GETTING IN THE ADN PROGRAM (FOR THE SECOND). IT'S FOOD FOR THOUGHT:idea:, BUT ANY COMMENTS, OR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE MORE THAN WELCOME.
THANKS

I did the exact same thing,I was initially accepted into the LPN program at Gadsden State ,but knew that I really wanted to be an RN. Anyway,I decided to hold out for the RN program because if I did become an LPN first, I knew that I'd have to work so many hours as an LPN before I would be accepted into a mobility program,and then who knows when that would be. I talked to the advisor at Jeff State and he said that I would have a very good chance of getting into the RN program.-I did get into Jeff State's RN. I had to consider factors such as driving time,time not making much money while I'm a student,etc.So,It depends on your circumstances,and your points as far as GPA,compass test ,things like that.-Hope that helps-and good luck!:balloons:
THANKS, CAHICKS THAT DOES HELP. PART OF MY CONCERN (STRESS) IS THAT THE DEADLINES FOR THESE PROGRAMS ARE MONTHS APART. JEFF STATE IS OCT. 6 FOR SPRING "08 ADN PROGRAM, LAWSON STATE C.C. IS NOV. FOR SPRING "08 LPN PROGRAM & APRIL FOR THEIR FALL '08 ADN PROGRAM. WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR ADVISORS TO REVIEW THE HUNDREDS OF APPLICATIONS. I AM GOING TO FOLLOW UP TO CONFIRM THAT EVERYONE HAS RECEIVED MY APPLICATION W/ALL OTHER PAPERWORK & HOPEFULLY GET AN APPOINTMENT IN.
