Hi. I am applying for entry to LSU's CARE program for my Accelerated BSN degree in August 2008. I am just getting ready to send my application off, and was wondering if anyone here has done this program, or is currently enrolled in it.
Mainly, I'm curious about the admissions standards. I have always been a very good student, and maintained above a 3.5 in college. I also have an advanced professional degree in another field. I am hoping these things will make me an attractive candidate for the school. I am curious how competitve the program is, especially for someone who is not a Louisiana resident.
Also, I'm wondering what the program is like. I know that it's got to be pretty intense if it wraps up all the nursing education into 18 months. What is a typical schedule like? How many hours a day and things like that?
I'm really excited about this opportunity, and looking forward to reading any responses here. Also, if anyone is currently applying as well, I'd love to connect with you so we can bite our nails together.
i'm on the waitlist and I haven't heard a peep! Still waiting and praying. Does anyone know if they contact by mail or phone for the people accepted off the waitlist?
OMG....I got a phone call today! I then ran around my house screaming like a crazy woman!!! I go to sign my papers tomorrow. Good luck to eveyone still waiting on the list. Don't get your hopes down, they are making phone calls. I can't wait to meet everyone.
Congrats to all my new fellow classmates! Does anyone want to meet up after we get advise on the 16th? Just to say hello and put faces to the names. :)

Tigerlover, I cannot reply to your pm. I also had a 3.5 when I applied. Hope that helps!
