A popular option for nursing school applicants, who have been wait-listed in New York for ADN or Baccalaureate programs, is to become a Medical Assistant while on the wait-list.

Many nursing schools are bumping up applicants who have more advanced education and clinical work experience, such as the work experience gained as a Medical Assistant.
