Do you mean registration for classes? Email? As far as I am concerned we are not to register for courses until further notice, closer to orientation. I hope this answers you question.

I got accepted too! GPA 3.8 and HESI 88.8

I swear everytime I hear an email alert my BP goes up. I've been glued to my phone and by the looks of it, I'll continue to be all week long. I was also hoping we would've received those letters by today.

I can't wait to find out! I might not be the only one, but ever since the proctored essay I've been going to sleep and waking-up with some anxiety. Based on last year's forum, they were told they would start hearing from LSU on the week of Oct. 16th and they did on that exact day. I hope it is the same for us and start hearing from them as soon as Oct. 8th. The wait is killing me!!!

You are right about the tour helping out to calm down the nerves. Everyone there was so nice, at least that was my experience. Just wish we had more time to tour the campus and maybe 15 minutes extra to complete the essay. The question really caught me off guard though, but it was a fun question. I feel so much better now that every step of the application is done and over! Just hope these few weeks go by fast. They did say we will hear from them after October 8th right? Ms Tracie said there were about 140 eligible applicants and 110 will be accepted. Good luck to everyone!

My appointment is tomorrow! Like many of you, I am quite nervous about the essay. Good for ya'll that did it today, you can now relax! So how did you guys feel about the essay? Did they do the tour before or after the essay?

I submitted mine yesterday. I'm not used to recording myself, so that was a bit interesting for me. On my last video though, which was the demonstration, the beginning was cut-off by couple seconds. I did mention the technical issue on the review. To those that still need to record and submit, good luck!

@theknittynurse me too! So not sure if everyone clicked on the link "Prospective Students" but it says attire should be professional or business casual (slacks and polo/blouse) is appropriate. Good luck everyone! Hope to meet some of you on Sept 19th if not till December in orientation!!!

I want to do mine ASAP but I wont be able to do so until Thursday/Friday ughh. Also what are you wearing for the interview? Someone suggested to dress-up professionally, what do ya'll think? @theknittynurse, do you mind posting later on today on how did the interview go and perharps what kind of questions they asked?! I wanted to check yesterday, but I did not because I was afraid it will use up one my retake chances. Also, I remember reading you can only view questions as you go, rather than all at once. Good luck!

@rollystone69 I'm about to look at the questions right now. Once you open the link and register, you are given exactly 5 days from that point to complete and submit all 6 questions.

I also received an email today. I'm so excited!!!

Has anyone been contacted by LSU about the application fee and form we must directly submit to them? Also, does anyone know what comes first, interviews or proctor essay?

I am submitting my application today! Getting a little nervous about this application process. Yes, hope we all get in! Good luck!

They will take the highest grade. Just make sure he makes a note on the application that the course will be taken during the summer or fall. I do know that for the past few cohorts the avg HESI score has been 86-88%. But again that is the avg and it does not mean applicants with lower scores don't get accepted. The average can vary from cohort to cohort. Check previous threads, sometimes they post their numbers once accepted. Past applicants have recommended to do very well on both the essay and interview questions. Just because one has outstanding GPA/HESI scores does not guarantee one will be accepted. Good luck!

I skipped the learning and personality sections because I didn't think they were required, and I only completed the critical thinking section. I verified with LSU, they said that aside from math/english/science subjects they only require critical thinking. The test itself is really not that bad. I made an 88% overall. The HESI is taken at a testing center not at LSU. It takes couple days to get your appointment scheduled; I would suggest signing-up on Elsevier ASAP. Prometric will then send you an email 1-2 days after requesting an appointment on Elsevier. Test dates should now be available for the month of June. This link has all the instructions to scheduling your test. Good luck! https://nursing.lsuhsc.edu/Docs/Louisiana%20State%20University%20HSC%20Distance%20Testing%20Instructions.pdf

@Jarell760 I'll be there! Oh and thanks for answering my question! Was the chemistry hard? Don't need specifics, but did the Hesi review cover most of the chem material?

For those of you who have recently taken the Hesi, how much time were you given to complete the entire exam?

Congratulations!!! To those accepted, if you don't mind, concisely share at the thread I created for LSU Spring 2019 BSN what and what not to do as an applicant. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Congrats to everyone!

I'm only applying to LSU. I recommend signing up for an informational session; I believe they have one session coming up soon. I know someone that recently took the HESI for another school, which did not include Chem, and was told she had to retake it for LSU. If you can't make it to the info session, I would at least email Dr. Tartavoulle (director of the traditional bsn) and ask him personally about it. He is really good at replying back and very helpful. I looking into taking the HESI mid to late April.

Thank you so much. I have about a 3.8 on my 16hrs and 3.5 prereqs gpa. I am planning on retaking English Comp II and and art class in the fall to bring up that 3.5 to at least a 3.7 gpa. I will be taking the HESI next month. I've taken it before for another school and made an 89% overall for all sections but chemistry included. I know each application cycle is different but just wanted to see what the numbers were for the current application cycle just to give me an idea where I stand. Once again, thank you!

Congrats to everyone that got accepted! I will be applying this summer for Spring 2019. For those of you that got accepted, would you mind sharing what your gpa and HESI score was? Thanks!

That's awesome! As per NursingCAS, it is recommended we submit the application a month prior to the deadline. The great part about the application being online is that you can work on it at your own pace, meaning that you don't have to fill out everything all at once. You can sign in fill out sections of it, save it, and come back to it and continue at a later time. Are you planning on retaking the HESI again or are you okay applying with an 84%. How was the chemistry section on the HESI? I am looking into taking the HESI mid-May. Psychology is not that bad, you'll do fine.

If you have not attended one of the informational sessions, I recommend you do so. Todd Tartavoulle, the director, is very helpful and open to answer all questions. If you would like a tour of the school,request via email for one. They will more than likely accommodate a group tour after the meeting. Is anyone taking the HESI within the next month or so? I am planning on taking it mid-late May.

Hello! Are you applying this summer to LSU Traditional BSN-Spring 2019? If so, I hope this thread serves you as a fountain of information during this application period. I am sure many of you, like myself, are very excited and anxious for what's to come in the upcoming weeks/months, yet with so many questions to be answered. Please, if you have a concern or have something you might want to share about the application process or HESI, make yourself at home and don't be shy to share! I guarantee you there will always be more than one or two that will either have the same question or answer as you do. Good luck on the process, and I hope we all get accepted and start attending LSU SON Spring 2019! Geaux Tigers!

@Brewms95 I believe you will have to retake the HESI with BRCC, but I would recommend to contact the nursing adviser and ask her personally. For those applicants that passed the HESI, their application will be idle until spring semester grades are in. So yes you may take some pre-requisites in the spring, but make sure you do well. Once accepted to the program, you are randomly selected, from what I've heard, to begin either in the fall or spring. The class gets randomly split into two cohorts. But yes contact the adviser Christin Dillonr, she's very sweet. Good luck!
