I did not get a notification that you posted! Well, I graduated! The fall semester was pretty involved and a bit stressful, BUT our instructors made themselves available for ANY concerns. The level of difficulty did not change, but it felt like there...

The semester ended great! It was definitely more intense than the Spring semester, but summer courses are generally condensed so I was expecting it to be such. I also moved in the midst of the semester and even with the added things to do/stress I di...

You are able to choose one from your place of employment as long as it is in a department different from the one you work in. The person you pick must be in a leadership role (management etc.) and I wouldn't think your scope would change. You aren't ...

Yes chemistry and stats are needed to start. I used Delgado's Chem101 (no lab) and Math203 (Intro Stats) which I took in the summer. You can apply with pending classes as long as they will be complete before you start. They have information sessions ...

Yes! I just graduated from Charity and rolled right into LSU's RN to BSN program. I hear that they just recently started allowing Charity students to begin the program while awaiting NCLEX testing. I have 90 days from the 1st day of school to test. I...

Hopefully everyone got who they wanted for clinical. As for lecture and pharmacology there are only 4 classes for each so everyone should be happy there... Don't let not getting your clinical site take your sights away from the ultimate goal, becomin...
