NOLA-ROB

The grad. pharm should help if you get an A in it. But GPA and GRE are the main factors to getting an interview, and the rest of the stuff is discussed during the interviews (exprerience, ccrn, etc.). If your GRE is 1050 + you should apply first and if no interviews then take the grad pharm class. Just my opinion. Best of luck.

All I can tell you is wait at least 6 months to a year, and if you still want it go for it. But, I got a symbolic black ink tatoo on my ankle during college right after "hell week". After about four years it got old. Recently (8yrs later), I have spent close to $700 getting 8 "not so pleasant" laser tatoo removal treatments, and it is still not all the way gone. Just something to think about.

I submitted everything on May 4, 2008 to the LA BON. I have called several times to find out what is taking so long. Finally on July 1, 2008 I found out they had not even started on my file because they claimed the packet was missing a letter from my current employer with dates of employment and title. When I asked, why I was not sent a letter or called about this one missing paper. Mrs King replied, "It says in the packet we sent you everything we needed to process you license. It's up to you to get it to us! We don't do anything to we get all your papers. Then it takes ten days more before we go through them. Then it takes another 30 days for everything to be processed." The answer to the shortage of RNs in Lousiana might be correlated to the experience of dealing with the LA BON endorsement division:down:.

According to LSUHSC website for New Students: Jun. 27 - All forms due Aug. 8 - Family Day Orientation Aug. 12 - Day fees due for graduate students Aug. 13 - Classes begin I'm not sure about the August 11th date. Did you hear that from somebody? I'm presently completing my Biostatistics requirement through Univ. South Alabama online. (not fun!) I have not yet started any real pre-school studying. I will be leaving in town. I can't wait to start the program. I am working here in Houston until July 24 then packing up and moving back to the NOLA!

Cathey, the acceptance letter states, "Our Admissions Committeee has reviewed many qualified applicants in order to choose the 2009 class and we are happy to inform you that you have been accepted to our program." The letter states at the bottom, "There is a mandantory orientation on August 15, 2008 and classes will begin on August 18, 2008."

I got my acceptance letter yesterday to the Nurse Anesthesia program class of 2009!:chrs::chrs:

Armynse thanks for the info. Good luck with school in the Fall.

hey, i also have an interview with lsuhsc. they called on wednesday, feb. 20, 2008 to set up an interview for feb. 27th between 12:00 and 3:00pm, but stated that interview times were in twenty minute blocks. this is very different than my recent baylor college of medicine interview, which was 7:30am till 4:30pm. i don't know about the early interview dates vs. the later interview dates. anyways, i will post below what i have found from different people on this website about the lsuhsc interviews: i am in my 2nd year at lsu's program. seems that the less experienced applicants get asked more questions. here are some of the topics asked to me and some that were asked to other people: know ventilator settings: cmv, pcv, simv, ps know what the pressures obtained from a pa cath mean know the receptors effected by drugs like epi, norepi, dopamine, atropine why do you wan to be a crna (having shadowed a crna for a day and talking about that experience is good) they kind of take the interview where you take it, so make sure you are comfortable to be questioned on topics that you bring up. good luck how did the interview go? it went really well.... i got accepted! it was more a "meet and greet" and info about their program than a drill session. they did not ask me any clinical questions. they asked my friend 1 question but it was pretty basic. i can not wait to start in august!!!

I received an interview letter on Jan. 29, 2008 for OLOL Anesthesia program. The interview is set for March 4, 2008 @ 9:30am. Best of luck to all other applicants.:cheers:

Yes, GPA and your nursing extern/tech. experience are the only things that seperate you from every other graduate nurse (GN) looking for a job. Also, if you plan to go back to graduate school, your GPA will be a major factor in you ability to get in. Below are the The Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center requirements to apply for a job. Requirements Include Successful completion of an accredited BSN program Eligible for RN licensure in Texas and GN permit Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greaterGraduate Nurses will be selected in November for January employment. In the Resume portion of the on-line application, please include your top three areas of interest (even if these areas are not listed above) and your current GPA.

Nursprac, read the comment posted before your comment by gauge14iv: They arent going to change it for those who are already there. MS level NP's will be grandfathered in and right now its more of a wish (on the part of certain parties) than a requirement. In addition, if you want the DNP later you can go through Case Westerns bridge program and do the DNP in about 30 hours. The quote you posted says the entry level for NP would be...a doctorate. I believe since you have practiced for 10 yrs you are Not an entry level NP. The goal is 2015 for this proposed requirement it is still 2006.

resident, holder of a medical residency, a physician or other medical professional in a united states hospital, who after completing a specified level of schooling and an internship receives specialized clinical training. residency is a stage of postgraduate medical training in north america and leads to eligibility for board certification in a primary care or referral specialty. whereas medical school (nursing school) gives doctors (nurses) a broad range of medical (nursing) knowledge, basic clinical skills, and limited experience practicing medicine (nursing), medical (advanced nursing) residency gives in-depth training within a specific branch of medicine (advance practice nursing), such as anesthesiology. residencies are traditionally hospital-based and in the middle of the twentieth century, residents would often live in hospital-supplied housing. "call" (night duty in the hospital) was sometimes as frequent as every second or third night for up to three years. pay was minimal beyond room, board, and laundry services. it was assumed that most young men and women training as physicians had few obligations outside of medical training at that stage of their careers. taken from wikipedia encyclopedia. updates added.
