Anyone applied to LMU in Knoxville for fall 2009?

Just trying to see if I am the only one worried if I will get that long awaited letter? I think I should here something in about two weeks.

Hello TRL 46,

I am starting at the Alcoa site this fall I just wish it was tomorrow. I ready to get this show on the road.:chuckle

Have you heard anything about how the class schedules work? Will you be taking just the nursing courses or will you need pre-reqs as well? Just curious. I will be actually driving from Crossville/Sparta area and will be only taking the nursing core classes. Great to hear you are at the Alcoa site!

I have all pre-reqs done except micro and the lincoln life and information literacy. I will be taking the bridge classes along with the nursing courses cause I will be getting my BSN. How far is crossville away from the site? I have not heard anything about how the classes are set up. I would like to know to.

I did not know you could take bridge classes into BSN program. How does this work? I will be driving approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to get to site. I have waited for 2 years to get into RN division and will go to any distance to get this accomplished. Someone said the curriculm is actually 4 days/week? Not really sure. Hoping someone in the program will respond and inform us of the details. Give me some info on the BSN portion and how this is incorporated into the ASN degree when you get a chance.

The bridge is really just taking pre-reqs again but for your BSN. I think it consist of one more math such as statistics, 2 history courses, English 310, and a fine art, such as music. After that the way I understand it, the rest of the BSN program is all nursing course should only take two semesters, maybe three depending on how many hours you can take and work at the same time. This is listed on LMU's web site under the Facts Sheet under the nursing portion. I will also be traveling 45 min to an hour I live in Etowah TN.

Where is Etowah TN? I am originally from Charleston, South Carolina. My husband, son and self moved here about 13 years ago. My husband, Jim, currently works in Nigeria, Africa and is home every 4 weeks. I have not told him the good news as of yet. Thanks for all the info

Etowah is south of Maryville on hwy 411 about 45 to 50 miles. Its a small town. Have you sent in your conformation letter yet? I think that is when we will find out how the classes are set up. You will not have to take nurs115 because you are an LPN right?

Not sure what classes I will be taking. I am an LPN-but have been out of the field over the last year. Just recently went back to work at Specimen Specialist-using my histology skills primarily for that job. Hopefully after completion of ASN, I am planning on taking BSN online. It is much cheaper and more self paced. As well as that, if you get a job, have your hospital or who you work for pay for it as an incentive for the company. Just a thought. Do you have any medical experience?

No, I don't have any experience yet. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time and never had the money to do. I am drawing out my 401k to pay my bills as I go through school. I just can't wait to get started.

You will do just great because knowing you are paying for all of it, makes things happen. I am hoping to obtain TN non-traditional lottery assistance for at least a portion of the book cost. I did find out the first class Nurs 115--books range from $400- 500 for that particular class. I am hoping this experience will end up being a success story for all of us.

I will be sending in my deposit of $100 for placement in the program. I will let you know what happens after that.
