Hello everyone,

I will be attending Charity School of Nursing in the Fall of 2004 for my first of 4 semesters. Anyone else going to Charity?

For those of you at Charity now, what are your schedules like? I thought clinicals were only on 1 day a week, but Ive been told thats changed. I should start classes next fall, unless I get early acceptance this spring. Can yall shed a little light on what 1st semester is like?

I called Charity today to find out when they will be sending the admission letters out and all they say is "December." Well, it is December! Has anyone received their letter yet for Fall 2005 class?

Yes, I will be starting in the Fall. Have you mailed in all your forms already?

Yes, I've mailed in all of the forms and paperwork, except for the one with the shots. I have two more of the hep shots to take. That one's not due until the summer I think...because the series takes six months to complete. I'm in the evening division. I live on the Westbank and hope that I can do clinicals at University or Charity.

I really want to go to Charity School of Nursing, right now I am taking pre-req's in Baton Rouge. My overall average is a 3.4, I plan on taking the PAX very soon. Is there any good study materials for it. Is it hard to get into Charity, I am hoping to get in either for Spring or Fall 2006. Please help and thank you in advance for advice.

It all depends on when you took your PAX test. The cutoff date for getting your acceptance letter in Dec was the PAX test givin the first part of June. So everyone after that will hear something by June or July of 2005. I have heard that they are still considering for the Fall 05 class, so you may still be able to start this year. Otherwise, it will be Jan 06 before you can enter. As for the Hep B Vacc, you may need to get that redone, as it only offers protection for a bit over 10 yrs. You may want to call you doc and ask, but I think Charity is going to want to make sure you have a fresh dose. Im not sure though. Hope this helps!!

Hi! As far as good study materials for PAX, they do offer a book you can buy but in all honesty, it didnt help. You can go to a bookstore and look at some of those "Nursing Entrace Exams" books to get a feel for whats on the test, but no matter how you study, its never what you expect. For math, KNOW FRACTIONS!! That was all my math portion was! And know physics well too, thats on the science part alot.

As for you doing your prereqs in BR, let me just tell you that first preference does go to those students doing prereqs at Delgado. It is very competitive to get in, and that is one of the things that helps most. The most important things they look at are your GPA of prereqs, total GPA, # of prereqs completed, and PAX scores. I have a 3.8 GPA and made a 128 on Pax and made it in just fine, but I did almost all of my prereqs here at Delgado (Campus in Covington) and some at Southeastern.
