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!

I miss reading them too! I brought my paperwork yesterday, and (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME - PLEASE DO NOT POST NAMES OF INDIVIDUALS IN YOUR PROGRAM PER TOS) wasn't there so I made the sign of the cross, and left it in her mailbox, hoping it won't get lost. lol I received my letter the other day too for clinicals. I want Oschner Kenner. I hope I get it!!! I'm going o put EJ as second choice. I just want to know my schedule already!! lol Did you buy those 2 books that we need for Orientation?? I got mine off of Amamzon, and I paid $40 for both of them together. Not bad!

I'm going to turn in my paperwork on Monday. I want ochsner Kenner as my 2nd choice, it's literally like 5 mins away from my house. Why are you deciding on Ochsner Kenner as your 1st. choice? I haven't bought the books yet or the uniforms! That's good that you were able to find the books cheaper, I'll buy them from there too :)

I chose that one as my first choice because when I went to open house, other students told me not to get St Tammany because of the instructor. I don't want to put any specific details on here though. It sucks because that hosp is 5 min away from me. So, another friend of mine that just graduated said she and other classmates loved the instructor in Kenner. I don't know about the one at EJ though. Yeah, get the 2 books from Amazon. I'm not going to get the uniforms until the semester starts b/c we don't start clinicals until Oct. I think I'm going to get the cardio stethescope from the uniform place because I looked them up online and they wanted like $225, and they are cheaper at the uniform shop. I just need to make sure it's the same brand that I want.

Has anyone looked at the new registration site LOLA.

I went in to see what it looked like and kind of get a feel for the site and I noticed that Basic 112 was listed but Pharmacology 115 was not. Also I'm not sure how we are registering for a clinical site? And, where are we getting the list of clinical sites to choose from?

Did I miss something? There is so much going on with deadlines, medical records, CPR......it's very possible I missed something.

I have a question, I noticed that some people got a letter saying that they are "conditionally accepted". What does this mean? Is that a waiting list? Or you are accepted if you finish a pre-requisite before admission time?

firrehorse I too am having trouble understanding the classes listed and I just emailed my advisor. Hopefully I'll get some answers soon. If I find something out I'll let you know. Can you let me know if you figure it out before I do? Thanks!

Sure will. I hope it's just because they are still getting their act together but there're only 8 days till registration so I hope things become clear.

Basics is not the class that we will be registering for. It is NURSING 1. When you look at a certain class, it will say something like RF at 10:30-12:30, and TW at 7-1. TW are our clinical days for sure, and Pahrmacology will be on either Thurs or Fr, and the Nursing 1 class is on the opposite day. But I don't think they finished working on it yet because a lot of the sections don't have the instructor's name or the hospital yet. So, we will not be registering for pharm separate from everything else. When we pick a section, everything is together. Hope this helps!

I thought that was probably our clinical class, but what was throwing me off was the section number. This is my first semester here so, its new to me. Does the section number mean anything? Is it still the same class as long as it says Nursing I? Thanks for all your help!

Hi, I've been searching for the office of admissions number for charity and the number I called no one answers. I figured someone in here could help me. Does anyone have a different number than the one on the charity website? Thank you!
