Charity SON Fall 2012

[MsLeana]

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!

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

We register on 6/13, but if you go to their website, it says that if we took any prerequisites at another school, we have to register in person. She also told me this info today when I went there to bring the health form things. She did not give me a date for when the hold would be removed though.

Has anyone started the summer reading suggested? I've started reading Fundamentals Success but, I'm averaging about a 65 on most of the test. I'm at a lost on most of the questions so I'm truly guessing. Some of the questions I can google and get the answer. Has anyone else attempted this book yet?

I registered on May 29th and it was a nightmare. Apparently LOLA (the ugly little she-wolf) is not very friendly towards people who transfer credits to Charity I kept getting this error "prerq. or testing error". I had to go down to charity (from the North shore) and have them register me. Of course my first choice for clinical was closed (big surprise). I was hoping they would have the problem solved by June but apparently not.

Not liking LOLA!

[Phi823]

firrehorse, that's what they told me yesterday. I would have to go down there to register b/c apparently lola does not recognize the transfer credits? Anyway, I haven't started the book yet, but learning2care has, and she said that basically you have to research all of the answers.

I'm on chapter 2 of the book n by the looks of it,it seems like its all things we should know...so should we study the keyword at the beginin??the answers r given at the end of the chapter but should we research n then answer I'm so confuseed

[firrehorse, RN]

I've been researching as I go along. Then I check my answers at the end (that's the painful part) and Highlight the right answer as well as the wrong answer so I can see why what I picked was wrong. Not sure how much help it is but I'm getting through the book little by little.

I'm also trying to analyze why my answer is wrong and their's is right. I find that I pick the answer that could be right but is not the best or primary answer.

Not sure any of this helps.

Okay so tomorrow is registration and since I have taken prereqs at another school I am going in to register. I looked over the classes available and the only thing open is Pharm I...no Nursing I. What's up w. that? Also, I am assuming R='s Thursday...is this correct?

[LA985N]

So how do you know which instructor is at which hospital? It does not say when you look up classes. And I'd like to pick a section based on location rather than time and instructor...

[Mamisu]

The class nursing I is probably close now because registration is until tomorrow. The first time we were able to register, classes weren't open until the time it said in charity's website. You find each class sections with clinical site info in the charity's website under current students and registration (somewhere there) but the instructor's name will appear on the actual registration website when you look up the classes.

I hope everyone registering tomorrow get to have the clinical site preferred.
