Hey just wanted to reply...yes, I got in the program, and am about to graduate in 3 months. I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!! It's a tough program, a LITTLE disorganized:chuckle , and forget about having any kind of a life for 9 months, but in the end I ...

Just to give you a heads up...we didn't get our interview letters until last june for this fall. (But that was also when they didn't know if they were going to move the campus back to NO or not, so it was probably delayed) I was such a nervous nelly...

Hey everyone... I am just curious for those who have had Mental Health already or are in currently. What did you think of your experience? Where was your rotation at? Was it a State facility, or privately run, and what was the diagnosis of...

I SECOND THE SAUNDERS!!!!!! I picked one up b/c I am taking the NCLEX this summer and so far I have really found it to be great.

I swear by nursemates full support compression stockings. I love them and make my legs still feel good after 12 hour clinicals.

Well...somewhat. You are not eligible for Pell Grants. You can still apply for federal loans. There is always scholarship money out there as well!!!!! I was in the same boat, but I was blessed b/c the accelerated program I got into pays 100% tuit...

WHO HOO!!!! Signed my intent to graduate:balloons: I have already purchased a couple of books to start studying for NCLEX. Some of my classmates are doing the Hurst Review this week. I am taking it off to relax!!!!

I am familiar with WIA...they have grant money and are paying most of our tuition in conjunction with Tulane paying the rest. They inform you about it once you are in the program. I don't think you can apply for monies until you are accepted. It ...

I earned my BA in Theology five years ago this spring. I am currently in an accelerated ASN program. I can't wait to graduate in May!!!!!! I am also now looking into RN-MSN since I have a bachelors already. There is a FNP program here through Loy...

They have a bridge program for ASN nurses with prior bachelor's degrees. It is a program that leads an individual into either their Nurse Practitioner program or Master in Health Systems Mgt. If you are interested you can go to their website and re...

Dsoginer... Well, I know that to be competitive one needs to have at least a 2.75 overall on OLOL's side. They then look at you as a person and try to find well rounded people. They choose 75 people to interview with Tulane, and then Tulane picks 5...

It was 22.00 base a few months ago. Another 10 dollars for nights and weekends....this is what I was told from the nurses who work there. I am having clinicals there currently. I know an RN on the floor who is at 37.00 an hour on days.

I am currently in the OLOLC program at Tulane. So far, so good. It is a VERY tough, fast paced program...hence being accelerated. We have the same classes and clinical experiences that any other nursing school has. Med/Surg, OB, Peds, Mental Heal...

Well, I am in an accelerated ASN program. It is nine months(two semesters) I have a previous degree so after I finish this program I will do a RN-MSN program. I am telling you as a wife, and mother it is doable. It is EXTREMELY time consuming tho...

I am in an accellerated RN program, but I already have a Bachelors. There were about a year of pre'req's and our program is a total of 9 months. It is full time 9-4 most days, and extremely fast paced. I would only recommend a program like this fo...

Well the requirements are different in the fact that OLOLC picks a certain number of applicants who they think are qualified and then Tulane picks the fifty they want by interviewing. You also must have your Bachelor's degree and be in the process o...

Welcome to the wonderful world of nursing school. :balloons:

We have to do our head to toe in under 12 minutes. Talk about nerves...I'll be so glad when it is over with on Thurs. Keep us updated and let us know how you did.:wink2:

I like to run about 3 miles everyday. It is a great cardio workout and takes very little time. Under 30 minutes for run+ cool down. I am wanting to get a treadmill for winter months b/c with it getting dark so early it will be hard to run when I g...

I have a previous bachelors and I am starting an accelerated RN program in a couple weeks. It is 9 months and I will have an ASN. You have to complete the general prereq's but it is acclerated and it's 2 years put into 9months!!!! They have a gre...

Yep, there are accelerated ASN programs...I am in one!!! It is for those who hold a Bachelors already and you have to do a list of prereq's but the program is only 9 months long. Who hoo!!! I'll be a RN next summer.

I am in an accelerated RN program in New Orleans, LA. We start Sept. 5. I can't wait.

The interview is given before acceptance. They determine acceptance off the interview. We were told in orientation that 100% will be covered for tuition and that we wouldn't be billed. I would say that you should be fine with your gpa especially s...
