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.
i was told the hesi exam carries the least weight. So, im guessing that its gpa interview and goal statement paper. konadog05 that would be awesome if we could find out within a week of the interview. yesterday one of the interviewers said end of october but i guess you never know. we all have a pretty good chance if they take 80-100 and there was only 134 applicants. sounds like a good chance if thats the exact numbers. the waiting part sucks!!!!!!!
I really feel weird about the interview. I made them laugh, I cried, I got tongue tied on all the most important questions, and answered fluently on all the rest. I got a chance to ask the senior ladies who were interviewing me some questions, which was fun :) I waited outside the room for a few minutes and then one of the ladies came out and walked me back to the sign in table and as I thanked her and rambled more she said I did really good, which was kind of her :) I liked the questions, the subject areas weren't surprising but they were still unexpected at the time! I had planned on a few like why nursing, why LSU and those of course were the ones I got all twisted on! The faculty member and the girls during our free chat at the end were all chatting with me about the classes I would take at certain points and the clinicals I'd get to do on the northshore if I'd like since I live there, which provided me with a little hope that I wish wasn't false hope!! The interview lasted almost all of the 30 minutes but it went by really fast except for when I was tripping over my words! Good luck to everyone and I hope all of our mailboxes have a certain acceptance letter in them in a few weeks!!!

Hi everyone! I think my interview went great and i would be really surprised if i didnt get in lol. anouther question i was asked was what would i want to do with nursing? and i told them i would like to go into education! they seemed to be really impressed with that and thats definetly what i want to do! It was really laid back to me, but i wasnt really nervous about it all. anyway best of luck to all of you and i shall return to post my results when i get them!
