LSU BSN Fall 2014 Semester

Published

Hey everyone! I was a spring 2014 applicant, I received an alternate letter so I am crossing my fingers I have better luck this semester! I know everyone probably feels like a huge weight is lifted off their shoulders as today was the application deadline. But now the nervousness is kicking in! I created this thread because I figured we all need the moral support - or at least I know I do lol! I hope I can be of help to anyone who may have questions as far as interviews and the time frame of this process! Good Luck to all of you!! ;):)

What do you guys think the class schedule will be like as far as times?

As a current Sophomore I, I can tell you you will definitely have at least 2 8:00 classes (Physiology, twice a week), possibly 3 depending on which section of Intro to Professional Nursing you end up in (this semester she just split the alphabet down the middle and I wound up in the 8:00; the other section is at 10:00). If you have to take Abnormal Psychology you will have that on Thursday afternoons. You will have Anatomy lecture MWF mornings at either 9:00 or 10:00 depending on which day of the week it is. Then you will have Anatomy lab for 2-3 hours (usually closer to 3) on either Monday or Wednesday afternoons (you get to choose which day but you must stick with that day throughout the semester - I went with Monday). There is also a Physiology lab period on Tuesday or Thursday afternoons but it only meets like 3 or 4 times. All of your big exams (Anatomy and Physiology) will be on Friday afternoons - note this is NOT during your regular class period like you are probably used to (so you have lecture on new material in the morning and then your exam on old material that afternoon - it sucks). Hope this helps.

@Tigers2016 If you don't mind me asking, did get you accepted? I have approximately the same GPA & HESI exam score.

Not yet. Letters haven't gone out yet. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Any recommendations for Nursing Student Malpractice Insurance?

NSO is what pretty much everyone uses I think. There are others but NSO is what the school suggests. It's only $37/year. Don't buy it until right before you start that way it will last for a full year as opposed to needing to be renewed in the middle of the semester.

Hello, has anyone heard any news on acceptance letters? I heard charity has already sent out letters and also had their orientation. Good luck!!!

Thanks deaript - that was the one I was looking at. Glad it is a simple process. Thank you for all of your input. Aside from checking here daily to see who has gotten the first acceptance letter and camping out at the mailbox it is nice to have a little contact from someone on the inside already.

The new student tab has updated, but only for the summer 2014 BSN to DNP...I'm assuming (BSN Fall 2014) our letters are most likely to go out next week. :nailbiting: This wait is killing me...:dead:
