LSU BSN

Phys is the biggie. Pharmacology and pathophysiology knocked quite a few out too. After that, there were no big losses until critical care. There are always a few who don't make it through a class, but that's every nursing school. My friend at Charity says the same thing - it's not just LSU.

I had to let my other grades suffer for phys (I got straight B's when I know I could've pulled off A's in my other classes had I spent more time on them) - remember, it's all about passing not perfection. If you strive for perfection, you're going to drive yourself insane. You can have all A's and get that one D and you're automatically a semester behind. Nothing to be nervous about... You have to go with the flow and work as hard as you can. If you're uptight about it, it'll eat you alive. It almost did to me!

I know this may sound like common sense but don't fall behind. Physiology will eat you alive if you are behind. Read before class so you have a good grasp of what is going on. Find a study buddy to bounce ideas off each other.

Hey guys, I am applying for the second time too like some of you guys. I was wondering how many freshmans were applying, sophmores, jrs., seniors.. What are everyone’s backup plans? I hope everyone gets in, I’m just curious and anxious like everyone here.

Were you still taking some pre Reqs the last time you applied? I was .. That's why I had to re-apply

kaitlynrs91 · Mar 25, 2011

Yea I was still taking prereqs... But I do have a few back up plans. Like finishing my degree lol and possibly taking the mcat or PA school

hobobird23 · Mar 29, 2011

Seems as if Spring 2011 applicants were notified about a month and a week after the first round of interviews in 2010 and about a couple of weeks after the second round of interviews of 2010. It'd be AWESOME if we were to get a notification next week of acceptance/denial....lol

A friend of mine just called to check and they said that no applications have gone to committee yet and it could be May even June before anyone knows

LSU_Allie · Mar 30, 2011

May or June???? That seems pretty ridiculous, especially since I interviewed in February. I'm curious why it would take so long. It didn't take that long for people last semester. I just want to hear something.

I was hoping they told her that to discourage phone calls. I've still got fingers crossed for early April - which is what I was told back in February at my interview.

I was hoping to give a little advice since im reading lots of frustrated comments posted. This is my 3rd semester at LSU, currently a sophII (again). the number one thing that many of you will find when those acceptance letters come and you get settled in at LSU is that patience is VERY important. Its a fact of life at LSU that schedules change, deadlines get moved, and students are typically the last to know about them. This will not be your only frustration with the school, being a student here just means you have to roll with the punches. LSU really is a great school, try not to fret and make sure you study up on your patience.
