I haven't heard this. Some proctored essay groups were more predominantly Trad or CARE, but others were more even. CARE in recent years has been making an effort to increase its acceptance numbers. TRAD classes are typically only slightly large...

Yes and No. The block schedule shows official start-end times and its useful for grasping the weird overlap that happens some semesters with some classes running longer weeks while others work on a shorter, accelerated schedule. But for example,...

First semester is a nonaccelerated schedule so its reasonable. If its a 4 credit class, you have 4 hours of lecture a week. That first semester is 13 total hours a week. Most days you'll be done with lecture by noon. Your lab times may be mornings or...

Hard to tell. I'm leaning towards likely if only because the first semester of CARE is taken alongside the first semester of traditional students, meaning the class is easily 100+ students. No lecture hall is large enough to accomodate that many with...

Prior years there were multiple essay questions. Not everyone got the same thing. But definitely research the school. Know the history, the philosopy, core values, mission statement. How do you as an individual reflect that legacy? Why did you pick L...

If the same as previous years, you'll get 2-3 chances to record each answer. Definitely practice typical interview question in advance just to get some ideas in your head. The big thing is speaking clearly with poise and confidence. Nursing is a...

Do not stress about the interview or essay. Honestly, both are there to ensure you have reasonable communication skills. Apparently back in the day, they didn't do the essay and wound up with a handful of students who couldn't string three coherent w...

The CARE and traditional nursing students do their first and last semesters together. We had several students who worked part-time that first semester. If you need to work, that's the time to do it. Nights and weekends. Just bear in mind, sometimes w...

Proctored essay emails went out the first week of February. I'm curious to see whether they'll be doing it on campus this year or changing it to an online experience for COVID. Getting a chance to tour the campus and talk to a CARE student was a grea...

I was 3.7. The thing with GPA is its mostly a minimum requirement. We definitely have folks in our class with 3.4 GPAs. They're trying to accommodate more and more CARE students every year to meet the nursing demand. We started with 68.

I am currently in the CARE 20 class. If you have any questions about the application process ot the program, let me know.

I wish I could just move into the dorms but I have my cats. I live on the Northshore now but I'll probably be moving to Metairie to avoid that Causeway drive. I thought about Midcity or Uptown (lived there right after college) but its gotten PRICY! I...

CONGRATS!! Where in Texas? I grew up in Katy, TX. Moved here when I was 18. Bit of culture shock at first but I haven't left since.

I mailed my application fee snail mail. lt got alittle lost on the way, but I stayed in touch with school to make sure they knew it was coming. I mailed my acceptance fee from the Mandeville post office today, certified mail. I just asked for the che...

Check your email!! Acceptance emails just went out! I got in!! So excited. It hardly feels real after this long process.

Did my tour and essay today!! The next 6 weeks are going to be so hard. Our student tour guide was amazing. I really glad we got to meet with current students and pick their brains.

I'm 3/2 at 930am. I read in past year posts that the committee meets the second Tuesday in April and acceptance/waitlist emails start going out next day.

Definitely reach out for the proctored essay link. I got my interview and essay emails separately but on the same day. So if your interview one was initially missing, your essay one is probably missing too.

Personally, I'd suggest reaching out them. They've been really responsive and helpful. Maybe they have the wrong email on file or maybe your spam filter caught it. What was your pre-req GPA? From what I've heard, the only reason you wouldn't get an ...

I tried to do the same thing Dr Pierce suggested but also couldn't preview the questions. But I got it completed and submitted the other day. Did everyone schedule their essay? It was weird because I remember choosing the 11am option so I'd miss morn...

Got my director email yesterday and my interview email today. Whew! Plan is to do it Friday after work so I don't have to worry about any last minute technical issues that may arise. Good luck everyone! We got this!

For those of you that paid with a check, did it post to your banking account when they moved your application to the Program Director?

Congrats!! Still waiting on my Supplemental Fee to process. Scared it got lost in the mail. Might go hand deliver it next week if it doesn't post soon.

Anyone stressing about references actually submitting on-time? I put in a Dec 31st deadline to give myself a few days to finalize my application before the Jan 15th deadline. Been a week and a half. I emailed everyone to make sure they got it. And I ...
