1. LSU BSN

   mpittsrn replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana

   Honestly I wouldn't buy EVERY book they suggest. Some of them you only need for a passage or maybe a chapter and that's why they have a library. You would go broke buying all of those books. I graduated from LSUHSC SON with the CARE V group and did j...

2. LSUHSC HESI HELP!

   mpittsrn replied to mdupri1's topic in Louisiana

   We actually took it at the end of our nursing school career (last May) and it wasn't hard. I heard they were going to make it mandatory to pass, but I'm not sure if that's the case now. It is general, kinda like NCLEX. If you study your NCLEX books, ...

3. LSU BSN

   mpittsrn replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana

   Congrats to all of you guys who got in! :yeah:The program is challenging but it is manageable. I did not go through the traditional program, I did CARE, but it was still manageable! Don't stress is my first piece of advice. My second is go with your ...

4. LPN...Is it a good move?

   mpittsrn replied to Hopefull nurse's topic in Louisiana

   I am so sorry that you failed the test! I am an RN, and by no means am I superior to any LPN that I have run into. However I work on a Rehab unit and we always have 2 nurses, an LPN and an RN and I think it is unfair that the LPN's unfortunately take...

5. Any UAB NP students/graduates?

   mpittsrn replied to Riker3's topic in NP Students

   I actually applied for UAB FNP and didn't get in and the ANP people called me and I got in for this fall online. I was so excited to get in and signed up for the roles classes (there are 2) because I wanted to be part time and work part time and st...

6. Help! Stuck between a rock and a hard place!

   mpittsrn replied to BKCinNOLA's topic in Louisiana

   I had a lot of issues finding my first job last year. I live in Slidell and for some reason couldn't get anyone to call me back over here so I wound up at EJ. I had heard mixed things and took them all into consideration but I didn't let them keep me...

7. Southern Surgical Hospital

   mpittsrn replied to crawlyberry's topic in Louisiana

   I worked at EJ and live in Pearl River. After I had a baby 4 months ago i decided that i just couldn't drive anymore even though I made more over there than over here so I applied to SMH. I got a PRN position on rehab, not my first choice but they ca...

8. Southern Surgical Hospital

   mpittsrn replied to crawlyberry's topic in Louisiana

   My cousin's girlfriend is a dietician there. She has been there a little while and seems to like it. I also know a few girls that work there and they seem to like it too. I think when it first opened everyone wanted to work there, but the newness has...

   mpittsrn replied to kjrillie's topic in Louisiana

   I'm not sure exactly what the CARE gpa is, but I had a 3.3 or something and got in.

10. LSU Trad BSN... a few issues...

    mpittsrn replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in Louisiana

    I graduated from the CARE program in May of 2008 from LSU SON. To get into CARE you must have a degree and many people had taken A&P I and II through other schools and were given credit for anatomy but not physiology. I think the reasoning is tha...

11. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    mpittsrn replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana

    Hey I graduated from CARE May 2008 and it is very do-able. While I did not have children, I was married and lived on the Northshore so had to drive daily which really stunk! For the first semester you do traditional classes (anatomy and physiology an...

12. LSU SON Spring 2010?

    mpittsrn replied to newgirla's topic in Louisiana

    I would not be concerned about age. I attended LSU SON in the CARE program and had classes with the BSN students and many of them were very young when we started. When I interviewed they asked me what made me want to be a nurse and what would make me...

14. I wanna be an ANP (in Occ Health Nursing) suggestions please

    mpittsrn replied to EwwThat'sNasty's topic in Occupational

    I would like to thank you guys for your replies. The Academic Common Market does not include ANP online unfortunately. So I sent them an email to see if they could add it or if they had any suggestions because the site said to email them if you have ...
