Disclaimer/Definitions
Hello Friends! I did my best to carefully compile and ensure accuracy of this list, if you find something is inaccurate, I do apologize. It was an extensive list to compile. Please double check me and please don't hesitate to let me know to update any information as it becomes available to you.
My plan is to revise this list once-a-year or as-needed.
Type:
This means program type and I've broken it down to a primary focus of ADN and BSN schools. I did not include any bridge programs.
Public or Private:
This simply means the school is either a public school or a private school. As you notice, public schools are a lot cheaper and private schools are much more expensive.
Length:
This means length of the nursing program.
Start Times:
Most commonly, nursing programs begin in either Spring or Fall. I wanted to make it easy for you to know when these nursing programs begin. Note, this is different from application periods. Application periods are much sooner than the starting time and each school varies.
Cohort Size:
This is the number of students expected to be selected by these nursing programs for each round of applicants.
Selection Method:
Lottery system is random selection of students for program. Point-based selection is selection of students with the highest overall point totals. Some schools utilize a component of each method.
(?)
I tried my very best to get you all the necessary information, however some schools just did not have it readily available. This led me to put (?) in the boxes place.
