Forget About Nursing School Waiting Lists - These Two Types Of Nursing Schools Want You

Waiting lists for nursing schools are giving aspiring nurses the blues these days. Community colleges, four year bachelor ' s degree programs, even a lot of LPN programs... they all have many more students applying than they can accommodate. < / p>

Some nursing schools, in actuality, report waiting lists of three or four YEARS. And some nursing schools don ' t even bother with waiting lists; they just accept a certain numeral of the best - talented candidates until their slots are filled, turn away hundreds of other candidates... and tell them to bestow again next year. And next year, things won ' t be any better; there will still be dozens of people vying for each spot. < / p>

So what ' s a wanna - be nurse to do? < / p>

Well, there are two kinds of nursing schools that don ' t have waiting lists. < / p>

Option one: online nursing schools. This option is only available if you already have some kind of healthcare degree. Don ' t despair, though; you can get a Licensed Practical Nursing Degree in one year, and the lines for those programs aren ' t as long. Many states also permit paramedic to RN programs, or respiratory therapist to RN programs. < / p>

Option two: private, " career colleges ". Keiser is an example. So is Corinthian and Chamberlain. These schools offer two year associate ' s degree programs and they are strictly geared towards educating you for the career that you are pursuing. < / p>

What ' s the common denominator between career colleges and online schools? In a word: money. They both cost more than traditional nursing school options, perhaps four times as much. They are able to accept more students because they are private businesses and they can pay their teachers better than traditional nursing schools can, so they can attract enough teachers to accept nursing students on a regular basis. < / p>

It will be up to you to look at the costs associated with these kinds of schools to see if it is worth it to you, but keep in mind, paying more now means that you can graduate and be working much sooner. < / p>

And another bonus - online nursing schools and career colleges also offer you the option of taking many of your prerequisite courses - algebra, microbiology, Anatomy & Physiology I and II - in an abbreviated format, so you can get through school that much faster. < / p>
