LSU Health Sciences VS. OLOL Nursing school

[mdupri1]

Hello,

Ok, so Ive been think EXTREMLEY hard over the past several months on what Nursing school I want to choose. I am currently a Pre-Nursing student at LSU in Baton Rouge. I would like to apply to both schools just to keep my options open. Has any one transfered from LSU to OLOL? Is this transitiom even possible?

I live in Baton Rouge and I ABSOLUTLY love this place! The only thing holding me back from LSUHSC is that it is located in New orlenas. I am actually from New Orleans and by ALL means I would much rather stay here.

If you go to either school or your in the same situation as me please send me suggestions!!

Thanks, Mallory

I'm applying to LSUHSC's CARE program for admittance in fall 2010. I checked out OLOL's program and while the 10 months is a big plus, you're only getting an ASN, not a BSN so that was strike one for me. The second strike was how difficult it was to get someone to talk to me. They were not helpful at all as though simply mailing me an application packet (printed straight off their website for the most part) was enough. They told me to look at the website which had broken links, etc. The third strike came after meeting with their advisor who continued the unfriendly, "why are you bothering me?!" attitude. After looking at my transcripts, she said I was missing a number of pre-reqs. When I tried to point out that I had often taken advanced, graduate-level classes, she said it didn't matter, I'd have to go back and take the intro courses. Where's the logic in that? I don't know. When I went to the friendly, helpful advisor at LSUHSC, she signed off on all of my classes. As she put it, "I hated that course so I'd hate to make you re-take it."
