OLOL Accelerated Prgrm EJ

Hopefull nurse · Jun 6, 2009

Thanks for the info. From the prerequisites you mentioned, it seems they require more than charity school of nursing. Gosh, it will take me longer to get into this program. But, I might give it a shot. Where did you take your prerequisites?

I live in kenner and the cheapest option would be Delgado but I don't think they would honor their courses. Also, I have 2 daughters. How is the course? they put everything you would learn in 2 years into how many months? Is there an advantage to taking this fast program? How competitive is it to get in?

My Bachelor's is from UNO & took the remaining prereqs at Delgado. Everything transferred. Charity requires labs whereas OLOL does not. I'm pretty sure whatever you take at Delgado will transfer. I haven't started the program. Not really sure what to expect other than eating, sleeping, breathing nursing for a year-ish.

I forgot to mention that the date they give in the letter for the first day of classes is wrong. I'd called around the first of the year and asked what the first day of classes would be at EJ and at that time they said Sept. 21. So when I got the letter I thought the "August 21" date was a typo (plus it made no sense if classes started on 8/21 that the letter said to have all your transcripts to them by Sept 1.

I called again yesterday and they said the tuition was due on August 21, whereas the first day of classes was Sept. 28. So I'm not sure if classes start on Sept. 21 or Sept. 28, but I'm certain they don't start on Aug. 21. (I suspect they will have to send out a correction letter on this.)

Does anyone know if they send out rejection letters at the same time they send out acceptance letters? I haven't gotten anything as of today....thanks!!:redbeathe

It's my understanding that they send them out at the same time (acceptance and rejection letters). I'd call them on Monday if I were you because the our accept or decline letters are due to their WJ office by Friday June 12th. If yours got lost in the mail, you need to know that right away.

I called OLOL today and they said they send out acceptance/rejection letters on the same day. I told him I was worried about the Fri deadline to accept and he told me to wait until Wed. and then call back if I hadn't received anything....I didn't get anything today either, this is killing me!!!

What a bummer -- I know the waiting is agony!!! (I can't believe he said to wait until Wednesday!) I'll keep my fingers crossed for you . . .

Hey are you currently taking classes at delgado???

noladancer · Jun 8, 2009

I did last semester (as well as Summer and Fall 08) but I'm not taking anything this this summer.

Okay, I just spoke to the lady that administers the three New Orleans accelerated programs and she confirmed for me that the FIRST DAY OF CLASSES FOR THE EJ PROGRAM IS SEPT. 28TH. I told her that the Admissions Office in Baton Rouge is telling everyone August 21st and that she needs to call them (with four Accelerated programs on staggered schedules and the main OLOL school calendar as well, I'm sure it's hard for them to keep things straight). However, tuition is due on August 21st (that's what the August 21st reference was meant for in our letters).

hnewman81: Did your mail come yet? Did you get your letter? If you didn't, I think you should call both the Admissions office and the lady that administers the 3 New Orleans accelerated programs.
