Such programs aren't likely to be reinstituted. Too costly and inefficient,
regardless of the nursing shortage. There are myriad nursing programs
throughout the country, from LPN programs to two and three year AS programs,
and of course the four-year baccalaureate programs. Their enrollments are
all declining, and the candidate pool is declining in quality as well.
Hospitals are stretched too tight financially these days to reinstitute such
programs.

Waiting list with competitive entry at my local community college. At
least there was in '04.

I believe my sister RN (MSN) who is a nursing instructor at the MS
Gulf Coast Community College said there is a waiting list down there,
although that may have changed because of Katrina.
