LSU BSN program Spring 2013

same here! cfiest01 this is seriously ridiculous!! if you don't want me just deny me!

this is my second time applying too and i was also on the wait list for the second time...i've wasted a whole year on this school

Did anyone else on the wait list get called???

I haven't heard anything. I wonder if thy are going to let us know when all the spots are filled. How are we going to know when they aren't picking anymore?

they dont send you a letter unless you get in if you're on the alt list

Has anyone else gotten a call yet? I'm beginning to think that is it :-(.. I wish they would let us know whether they were done picking me or not

if anyone wants to carpool from the slidell area, please let me know!

On the acceptance letter it says we have to get a background check done... has anyone done this?

i haven't. i was told to bring the admission papers to the orientation on jan 4th and they would answer our questions then. i am turning in the health papers tomorrow and i am going to bring the admission ones in while i am there and ask if i need to do anything else. it seems like you wouldn't have to do your own background check lol i assumed they would do it, but who knows.

@nursetobeme

SOoooooo the system disabled me to send you a Private Message but is there anyway that you can send me your email to communicate with you? lol

Does anyone know when they open? I need to turn in the rest of my health forms but theyve been closed

Hey guys! I am going into my Senior 2 semester and I wanted to pop in and congratulate those that got in and offer encouragement to those who have not. From what I've read, many of you already have a bit of a sour taste in your mouth from the admission process. Honestly, I have no idea why it has taken till December to hear back from the school, but some great advice that I can impart is to be very patient with this school because its a long 3 years. The state budgets cuts to the LSU system has affected the nursing school as far as staffing, so things go a little slower than I'm sure ya'll are used to, just go with the flow. You will learn so much during these next three years, that you might think nothing more can fit in your brain, just remember the end goal and push through.

Ok...so there's so much information that the school is throwing at you right now and so many requirements that have be completed, so hopefully i can clarify some things for ya... Background checks are needed for the soph 2 semester when you start clinical, so you don't need to complete that now. When it gets closer an email will be sent out telling you where to go to get it down. You will also do urine drug test and get your finger prints down before going into clinical....but DON'T worry about that yet! If you are wondering about your schedule for this spring, you can find under current student-course schedule-spring 2013-undergraduate, it'll give you an idea of when your classes are with the exception of anatomy la, physiology lab and intro. I'm not sure what, if any info the school has given to ya'll at this point so I won't go overboard with information. If there are any specific questions I can help with, I would be happy to answer.

The school reopens on Jan. 2

Wanted to reiterate my congratulations to all of you and if you did not get in, there are many other schools in the area to consider. No matter where you go or how long it takes to become a nurse, in the end you still get to call yourself a nurse...so don't give up!!!
