Charity SON Fall 2012

U.S.A. Louisiana

Published

Hello Everyone!

I know I'm early but I'm super excited to begin nursing school. I was wondering if anyone else here is planning to apply to Charity for Fall 2012? Are you done with your prereqs? Taken the HESI? What's your profile score?

I have taken all of my prereqs but it has been 6 years since I took A&P II lecture/lab so I'm taking it now at Delgado. I'm taking the lecture online and I go on campus for the lab. We have only done one exercise in lab so far and I already feel like its not going to be very easy. I took the HESI on Monday and I did pretty well so I'm done with that thank God!

I calculated my profile score and if I get an A in the A&P lecture I'll have 70 points. If I get a B or C, I'll have 65 points. I'm super nervous because when I talked to the admissions lady at Charity she told me the cut off tends to be a bit higher for the Fall semester than the Spring. From reading the forum, it looks like the cut off for Spring 2012 was around a 55 so I'm worried that the cut off for Fall will be like 75! :uhoh3:

Good luck to everyone and I hope to meet some of my future classmates!

Hey, yes, the first thing she said was that the nurse or dr did not initial where the tb results were!! What?? Like as if I gave myself the tb injection?? Whatever!! Then, the nurse sent all of the lab orders over to Quest, and they drew mmr titers, but not for Varicella. So, when I went to bring all of my paperwork on 5/11, of course she wasn't there so I left my stuff with a note saying that if anything was missing to please call or email me. No call or email!! Then, a week later, I called there to see if everything was ok, and I was told that they received everything, no problems. Every day I've been checking to make sure there were no holds, and low and behold today there is a hold. I can't tell you the last time that I was this enraged. I was crying and screaming!! She said that I can register on 6/14, but it doesn't matter because I'm not going to get the instructor or the clinical site that I want. Apparently, there are a lot of people that won't be registering on Tues. You're going to have to call the lady's office where we had to bring our health forms (can't put her name on here), but they will tell you over the phone what you need. I clicked on reason for hold, and it said "nursing health requirements".

All I can do is laugh instead of crying. Guess what? I have a hold. Same reason. Health forms. I've spoken to this lady over the phone and she looked through my forms as I was on the phone w her. Supposedly everything was done. I'd love to know what they say Is not done.

Omigosh! That's terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that :( where did u check for holds? In the LoLA system or in self-serve? I checked the LoLA system and I don't have any holds but I couldn't log in self-serve because it's too late and looks like the whole weekend it'll be blocked. I wish they would have said in the advising sessions to make sure everything is with initials, that makes me so mad!

Mamisu, it would be under LoLa so you're ok. Under self serve, it will not say that you have a hold. Sneaky sneaky!!!

I just found out I have a hold as well and of course I see this on Saturday. Now I have to wait all weekend to get this taken care of! So frustrating!!! Also says hold due to health records.

I know, cdiane....try not to get too upset because I literally made myself sick yesterday knowing there was absolutely nothing I could do. I even asked the lady if I turned in what I needed by 8am Tues if I could still register, she said, "No". There are also other people that I'm hearing of that can't even get into LoLa to see of there is a Hold.

My hold is also for health records. I spoke with my friend, who will also be entering this fall, and she said that we needed to have 2 tb test done before May 14th. I only had one done, so I'm guessing that's why I have the hold.

I had mine done, BUT I think the paper said 3 wks in between each one, and I called the lady, and she said that I could do it a week apart. Because I wouldn't have had them both either.

I just checked and I have a hold too...so upset. So what I am gathering is clear up hold and register on June 4th...is this correct?

Frustrated to the max!

I've been checking constantly and it still says "no holds" I hope it stays that way and it doesn't pop out on Monday. I had to do my TB a week apart not 3 like the paper said and I'm scared of that being the reason why they would put a hold in my acct. Hey guys... I know that all of this is soo frustrating but maybe things happen for a reason and besides next semester I'm sure you'll be able to pick the clinical site you want. Also, ppl may still defer for another semester so their clinical sites may be available in June and that might be the one you wanted in the first place :)

They wouldn't put a hold b/c of the tb test 1 week apart. Mine was a week apart, and I got permission from her to get it a week apart. They're not putting holds because of that. They're saying that some people did not submit a tb test at all or the nurse did not sign the tb test. And as far as the clinical site, I'm really upset because according to former graduates, getting the instructor that you want is a matter of failing or passing. I would not want a clinical instructor that had a clinical group of 16, and only 6 went on to the next level. So, I'm hoping that I will be able to still get the one that I want.
