LSU BSN

[mdv0731]

Hi everybody,

Im new to this site and could really use some advice. Im starting LSU traditional BSN program. Was wondering if anyone has any advice about what to expect and what I should do to prepare. Also if anyone is actually a student at LSU that would help or if they are starting in the Fall as well.

so are we getting our schedules tomorrow at orientation? because the one one the website is useless because it has all the times and days available..there's no set time. :/

geez, i'm already confused! will we have an anatomy lab tomorrow? i thought we did, but now i'm not sure!

We go to the lab tomorrow to meet the cadavers, discuss rules and get generally oriented. I think this will be at noon. However I'm sure this will be discussed in class tomorrow, which is at 9. Right after Anatomy which is at 8.

Seeya then! (Bright and early).

Are any of you taking abnormal psych? There's nothing posted on moodle and I haven't received any e-mails so I feel a little unprepared.

Anyone know where and when class will be held? :)

I dunno how it'll work for you guys but last semester we had it from 1-4 on Thursdays in LR1 - maybe it will be the same? I'm sure there are enough of you taking it that word will get around. That's how it happened with us. We had no clue until 10 minutes before the start of class.

The instructor doesn't use Moodle or LSUHSC email at all. She'll give you her personal email on your first day. Bring stuff to take notes, that's all you'll need in class (you'll wanna have the book for reading at home).

ooo ok thank u so much! yea we have it thursdays 1-4 so itll probably be lr#1..i guess like u said we will see!

[charliehopeful]

Thanks cpk!! That is reassuring. I'm guessing there will be a lot of soph I's milling around the lecture rooms waiting to see where to go :)

[charliehopeful]

All of a sudden I am feeling very overwhelmed! Its going to be hard to keep up!

Hey!! Congrats on gettin into LSUHSC's program! I'm not applying until September but I am so excited and so nervous about gettin in. Right now I have all the pre-reqs done but I got 2 C's in chem and micro so I have a 3.4 gpa. I'm retaking them this semester at LSU so that I can apply with a higher gpa. I talked to an advisor on the New Orleans campus and and they said that they don't even look that much into gpa's anymore as long as you have a 2.8 and are well rounded in the other areas such as the interview. I am soo nervous about the interview!! I know this may seem way too early to even worry about it but do you have any advice for me concerning the interview process such as the type of questions? I keep thinking they will ask me an off the wall question and that I'll be stuck. If you can give me any advice on what to expect I would be so so grateful...

anxious: They changed a lot of the acceptance process this past semester. Students entering the BSN program this semester didn't have to interview, we wrote the "goals" paper and completed the class requirements. If you wait a couple months and ask again maybe you will find someone who interviewed for the fall semester and they will be able to tell you more about what to expect.

Either way keep in touch with this thread, it kept me from going crazy. Plus when everyone else on here was writing about how they had gotten in I realized something was wrong because I hadn't received an e-mail telling me I was denied or accepted. So I contacted the school and found out they had missed me on the e-mail list! If I hadn't been in touch with the other hopeful's on this board I would have gone crazy wondering when I was going to get my letter!

Good luck in your chem and micro!
