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?

Wow, went to the advising session yesterday and I don't know how I'm going to afford all the background checks and immunizations and whatnot. This is so stressful!

Congrats Charity spring 2013 ! Im new here so forgive me but is anyone having problems with the website that were entering our health info into?

@KristenNola-I hear ya! I can't believe how much we have to pay just to open up an account and do a background check. I'm a bit stressed too myself with all this!

@Swhite7-Welcome! I did run into a problem. When I was trying to set up my drug test a page would not load and the page that popped up I X-d it out and therefore I could not schedule my test. I emailed the company and told them my problem and they set it up for me with no problem so that was a relief! I took it yesterday and the place I went to told me that we do not recieve the results, they automatically get sent to the school, so I'm hoping they get them! I thought that we had to send our results through that Immunitrax website at first but apparently thats just for our immunizations.

I went to the yesterday's session from 4-5pm. We have a lot of paperwork to complete on a pretty tight timeline. It's a bit frustrating, especially since they sent us our acceptance letters 2 months later than they said they would. Oh well. That's life, I guess.

Anyone from the Uptown area? I'm looking into CPR certification courses around here...it might be fun to take it with some other Charity people :) Let me know, and I can get some details together.

@mcphierce, I was at yesterday's info session too! There's so much I feel like I'm definitely going to forget something. I love on the westbank but work downtown so I could totally do a CPR class uptown. Let me know what you find out.

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!

@tmlegros, I am completely down with carpooling! The only problem will be if we can't coordinate our class/clinical schedules. I was able to go on Charity's website to find the Fall schedule, but I'm not sure if our's will be the same. It might give you an idea though. Click on "current students" then "registration information" then "continuing students" scroll down to "section numbers for Fall 2012" by clicking on Nursing 1 and Pharmacology 1 it will show lecture days/times and clinical days/times/locations.

I also live on the westbank but wouldn't mind taking a CPR class uptown. Those classes are always better to go through with a group :) If you want you guys can email me about the classes at [email protected] (You can also find me on facebook w/ that email address!) I turned in my packet for the LSBN on Tuesday! Felt good to get at least one thing crossed off that list! I keep stressing out that I'm going to miss a deadline. Next week I'll be shopping around for cheap vaccines/titers, but I'll probably end up going to that place on Canal st. they talked about at the session. Seems like they're used to dealing w/ Charity students and (most importantly) cheap!

@jadeboots, yay! We will def carpool once schedules come out- I'm pretty sure we are all in the same exact program. I also have another friend here on the northshore who would most likely carpool, so that will be great...How do we exchange personal info???

@tmlegros, since it won't allow me to send you a private message you can send me an email at [email protected]. We can exchange our info that way

Hello future classmates! Does anyone live on the Southshore? Metairie? I'm trying to make connections for study groups, clinicals, etc.
