Lady of the Lake Accelerated ASN

Published

Hi. I am very interested in the accelerated ASN program at Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge. Can anyone give me any information on this program? I've seen the information that is available online. However, I am looking for information from experienced insiders such as: getting accepted, true level of difficulty, etc. This will be a major career change for me, and I do not want to make a bad decision. I have a 3.6 gpa from SLU w/ AA in OSH and BA in Gen Studies. I consider myself a capable, hard working student but all I have heard is HORROR stories.

Thanks!

What? I can't believe you didn't get yours today. What did you ask them when you called? I'm sure its coming.

Wow that sucks! I work in a position similar to these people... I handle all of the applicants that apply for our surgical fellowship (kind of like senior year for general surgery residents that choose to specialize in a particular type of surgery) so I can kinda understand what they go through. It does suck to be the bearer of bad news, but we use email instead of snail mail to cut down on wait time. It is so much easier to deal with.

I wish they would email us!

I didn't get a letter, either. I'm starting to feel really sick about this. :uhoh3: But good luck to you all.

They just told me that it's their policy not to tell people over the phone. She said that it's just that the letter hasn't reached me yet. I'm waiting to see if the Admissions lady will email me back in the morning.

This is all I can think about! I just want to know good or bad. I'm really glad you ladies got in though. I really really hope I can be in class with you. All I can do is keep praying and keep checking the mail.

Good luck to everyone. I wish they would email us, too. Baton Rouge General emailed and send out letters.

I just want us all to keep in touch periodically on this forum throughout the program, I know we will be busy but a little shout out here and there would be nice, (yes I'm claiming that we all will be in the program of our choice)

So sorry for you. I know it is horrible news, but at least the wait is over. Good luck in whatever else you choose to do.

There is an accelerated program at UTMB, I just learned about, its in Galveston Texas, outside of Houston, not sure if you wanted to look into that, I live in Houston and that's definitely on my radar, its 12 months instead of 10, and it begins in January.

I'm so sorry you didn't get in! Did it say if you were on the waiting list?
