CHARITY SON Spring 2013

Published

I just submitted my application to Charity School of Nursing for the Spring 2013 semester. The deadline is May 15, 2012. Has anyone else out there applied for this semester?

Hi, Jade! Sorry, I didn't see this until just now!:facepalm:

I went to the 930 session this morning. You guys be sure to pay for at least 2 hours of parking; I paid up to 90 minutes, and ended up having to leave the session to make sure I didn't get a ticket!

Jade, when are you going? Where do you live, exactly? I live off of hwy 59....

@tmelgros how long did the session last?

I have no idea, I left after an hour and a half. The woman from the state board was still yammering off about details... hope that helps!

Does anyone have a general idea what a typical week will look like in the first semester of the program? How many days, which days, and how many hours in those days, for instance? Any knowledgeable feedback would be great!

I am going to the 12pm session today (Thursday). I live in north Covington heading towards Folsom. Sounds like you're closer to Abita

Anybody on here going to the advising session tomorrow(Friday)? If so, any parking reccomendations? I was thinking of maybe parking in the pay lot behind the school.

I went to the Noon session today and it definitely went longer than an hour! I parked on the street and paid for about an hour and a half...there were plenty of spaces when I went (and classes were in full swing). I called the school ahead of time and they said we aren't allowed to park in the Charity lot. Bring your admission packet with you. They're going to give you two more packets to complete in the next few weeks. One is for health requirements the other is for the Louisiana State Board of Nursing Background check.

Thanks! I wonder once we start school at Charity if we can park in the parking garage that they have?

Specializes in Med-Surg.

The parking garage connected to the school is for faculty and staff. They do raffle off a few spaces for students, though, every semester. This semester there was some kind of deal for some spaces in LSU's garage, but I don't know too much about that. Most students usually park at St. Joseph's Church on Tulane for $3 a day or at Central Parking's Schott lot at the corner of S. Claiborne and Poydras for $5 a day.

Does anyone hav any idea what a typical schedule looks like for a 1st year Charity student? It would be nice if they could mention that upfront so we could get our life in order. . . . thanks for any help.Also, maybe all the northshore folks could reply to this post so we could maybe discuss car-pooling? I know there's three of us at least. That would save so much money!

Congrats to everyone that got in for Spring 2013!!! I'm currently enrolled at Charity, this is my first semester. @tmlegros, We go to school at Charity Tues-Fri until clinicals start, when they do it'll be two days of clinical at the hospital, two days of lecture, and one day of pharm. Clinical hrs are 6 hrs, and lecture, and pharm are two hrs.
