Matc madison now uses a petition process to the best of my knowledge so the wait may not be as long as you think. I did not go to either school (although i took some pre-reqs at matc and it was fine) so i can't give you feedback on either. good luck.

I just took my CNA through that school. It's a nice facility and the health science building is brand new. But to your question, it does have a wait list, like most, if not all nursing programs in Wisconsin. However, the wait isn't always long.

Many times, people choose a different school, switch programs, or drop out entirely. So, don't let that stop you.

But it's in a rural area, so you don't have many job options.

Good luck!!!

Good luck , in a community college system that is very unlikely. Petitioning at madison matc is relatively new but a two semester wait is much less than many other community colleges.
