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!

No, I don't see where they want us to put that password. I calledd the school, and the lady said that they received many calls about it today, but that we would need to email our coordinator, and I did, but she hasn't written back yet.

I am getting sooo frustrated about everything. First, even though I've already accepted my award, financial aid hasn't reflected in my acct yet and I'm so scared that they might drop my classes. I called the lady at that dept and she told me that the classes won't be dropped but you never know! I don't know how the book vouchers work also, I haven't bought the books we need yet. Second, because I haven't bought the books, I haven't done my assignments and school starts next week! Does anyone here live in the kenner/Metairie area that has books? Maybe we can plan like a get together to work on the assignments. Third, I'm so confused with the Blackboard registering for courses! There's nothing on there were we can register and give the password they gave us. I thought that by today we would be able to do this. I hope I'm not the only one with these frustrations :/

I tried logging in to blackboard also and called the help desk they said I have to wait till the 18th to login....I'm pretty frustrated too...I did call my clinical teacher n she told me to bring all my papers with me (puzzle etc...) and try to read if I have my books

Manisu, I feel your pain, trust me!!! I finally got to sign my promissory note on Fri after waiting for 5 hrs at the Covington location to sign it. Yes, 5 hrs, from 1-6. Anyway, my Lola doesn't even say that I have an award even though I know I do. But there is someone in our Level 1 class who also works in the fin aid dept at CP, and she said that as long as the prom note is signed, the classes won't be dropped. I can tell for sure that the book vouchers do not start until the 20th which does not do me any good b/c of the assignments. I used my husband's credit card to pay for the ebooks today. I would be more than happy to let you borrow mine, but it's set up to where 2 people can't be logged into it at once b/c me and another student were thinking about splitting the cost. But like I said before, some people can't afford the ebooks and are having to buy the print version online. I was scared to wait until the 20th b/c I know that we're going to be given more readings the first week of school.

Book credits start on the 15th. I know this for sure bc I asked today when I was at the school. Also it says so on the Bookstore link. I went to the school to speak with the coordinator she was not there. I told her many people were confused because what needed to be done was really explained good enough. I believe the password they gave us is for the evolve acct. Also, I confirmed that the courses for BB was supposed to be uploaded today but mine's is not. They told me, that the teacher probrably didn't post anything yet. This frustrates me! Now, I am becoming overwhelmed. I don't know where to start. I dont know whats due on the st day. They don't have dates. I need to read instruction in the syallbus, bc there really no info in the one they gave us. I am not stressing about the readings. Soon as I see the credit on my acct, I'm going to the bookstore!

Book Credits available at the DCC bookstore - August 20-27, 2012. Book store registration schedule is as follows: Monday - Friday 8am-7pm and Saturday, August 18 &25 8a -12pm. nurseflow, this is what is on the dcc website under financial aid deadlines and requirememnts, and when I asked the financial aid lady at school she confirmed it so I guess they are giving out different dates.

Just giving people a heads up in case they go there for nothing.

It does say the 15th on the book store website. I would not know what date to go by though.

Mamisu so you also accepted awards, but it is not reflecting your account? I was starting to wonder if I was the only one. Strange, I have financial aid showing up in LOLA, but my account has a positive balance. Have you found out anything as to when it will start reflecting our accounts? I'm gonna go tomorrow and pay out of pocket for my ebooks. I just can't wait any longer on financial aid.

=(

I called the lady yesterday and she said to not worry about the classes, they won't be dropped. Apparently, the money will reflect on the 15th in the acct but if you have any money is left over they're gonna refund the money on your higherOne card after the 15th day of school.

Oh that is a relief!! Thank you!! Fingers crossed that everything goes through and we can all start class with clear minds!

What is going on with Bb?

This is so stressful. It does not seem as though any of the dates we were given mean anything to anyone but us. I'm waiting on my book voucher because I want to purchase my ebooks and my nurse pak at the same time. I hope to get the book credit tomorrow but if not, I'm waiting until Saturday when the book vouchers are available.
