I have been lurking for a while, but this is my first post. Just for a little background, I'm 28 with multiple degrees, but I've been slowly working to get my prereqs done for the past few years to be able to apply for nursing. I've worked full time while taking classes, so it's been a slow process. I have submitted my application to Charity for Fall '10, and I'll be submitting an application to LSU-CARE by the deadline in February. I have so many questions, I don't know where to start...but the main 2 questions are below:
1) For people who applied to both programs, how did you pick one over the other, and are you happy with that decision?
and
2) What is the schedule like for holidays? (I can't find an academic calendar for either school showing if the program follows the typical academic calendar). I ask because I'm going to be planning a wedding soon, and I was going to try and schedule it during a break from school. But without knowing what the academic calendar is like, that makes it really hard. So, if anyone at Charity or in the CARE program could tell me what your semester/Christmas break looks like, I would appreciate it!
