Hi all!
I'm new to the site, and I just wanted to introduce myself. I attend Northwestern State University in Shreveport, LA. I graduate in December 2004 in my Bachelors of Science in Nursing, and I feel like I have ants in my pants because I am so ready to graduate. I hope to talk to everyone soon.

Hi!! I too am attending Northwestern in the BSN program. I am currently in 2nd level and I will graduate in December of '05. I am ready!! Congrats on your graduation, it is coming up quickly. Have you decided where you are going to work yet? And also how do you feel about the stipend/mentor programs that the hospitals have? This is where you get $1500-$2000 per semester while in clinical and have to work for them for 1 to 2 years? Let me know, thanks!!

Wow, that's pretty awful to say that NSU will hinder you in your nursing career. Both my parents graduated from there and say it was beyond stressful and hard, but that you get the best education there. NSU is the best nursing school around here. I am about to submit my application to clinicals and appreciate that they don't sugarcoat everything like most schools do. Actually, hospitals around the Shreveport/Bossier area are more likely to hire a NSU graduate over other schools because of the education and experience that goes along with attending NSU.
