In our class this year, the local employment office was too late in applying for the grant so Tulane had to pick up the whole bill for OLOL in the Fall. In the Spring they just paid for half of the tuition. No one recieved mileage during the year. ...

GaGarcia, You found the best advice written by the student who helped me with the program. Search for her advice, you cannot go wrong. The only suggestions I disagree with is not to buy the Med-Surg book. While I did not read all of the chapters, ...

Please send me a private email address so I can attach the notes, there are a lot of them. D

We also lost one person for the 1st class, Medical Terminology. You may want to get a simple Med. Term book and study. Learn how to spell these words also.

Congratulations! Did you two get a copy of the Pharm notes for the 1st class? or get a Pharm for Nursing book and do yourself a favor and start studying!

Romana, keep your chin up, the letters went out sporatically last year. You may yet get an acceptance letter. Also there will be several people who have changed their minds or who applied to more than one school and will turn down this spot. Hang ...

Most of the hospitals pay around the same, $23.00 hr. Rent is outrageous right now because of the hurricane. I happen to know of a really nice place 3-4 bdrms uptown for somewhere around $16-1700 a month. Private message if you need info. Also lo...

The book we used this year is Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing, 11th edition all 9 lbs of it! And that is not a joke

There have been several posts in the last few months with new grads asking the same questions as you. Take a look at some of the posts for information. I have a list of salaries for several of the hospitals in the area that we collected last month. I...

you do not need the labs for the olol accelerated program (i am graduating in may). but before you set your heart on this program go to tulane on the 7th floor to our school and talk to (moderator note: named removed to protect individual's identity...

Welcome gdupont, good luck with the interview. Just have plenty of confidence and hold your shoulders up. They are looking for people that are well, mature acting, so be that person.

Let me send it in Word 2003. Care map - the primary.doc

I have a wonderful Care Plan templete to share. The teachers love it and it improved my plans by at least 50% (and my grades). You can move it around, change sizes, etc. and once again, I found the original link on this website. If you need help ...

I have sent you the information

I just got home from clinicals and have to finish my care plan. Nursing school is hard, otherwise we would have less than capable people taking care of you and yours. We all wondered what we were getting into that first month or more. It gets better ...

If you send me a private message I can attach a list of hospitals in this area and the pay and benefits. I put this together last night to give out to fellow students in my nursing program. We are graduating in a month and are looking for jobs. The...

Bit of advice. Get in touch with OLOL College and find out EXACTLY which pre-reqs you need (if you have not already done so). I had classes that I already had that they would not accept and had to take over again. That is probably the one requirem...

Welcome, this site is the best. When you start in school you will find all kinds of resources here. I use it everyday. Our days at Tuland/OLOL accelerated program usually last until around 3-3:30, start at 9:00. There are usually 3-4 clinical days...

I am not sure if Charity has an accelerated program, and I do not know anything about LSU. (anyone??) but OLOL has the Tulane, East Jeff and West Jeff programs. You need a BS first then the program is 9 mths long, very tough, but doable. At clinic...

This website never ceases to astonish me. Once again someone posted just what I needed. Thank you

You have now touched my world. I graduate in May and have all the feelings of "Help me! I'm not ready." I know that I will be thinking of this article when I am on the floor and have made THAT mistake.

Ok I have all the notes for Pharm downloaded onto Word and will send them to anyone who wants them. Remember that this is not all that is needed but if you go into the class familiar with the info I am sending you will have an advantage. You will not...

Sailboat Here I go again, but the one most important activity you can do to prepare yourself is to get a book on Nursing Pharmacology and start studying. There is a blog from a person that just flunked out of the W.Jeff program due to Pharm. It is ...

I really cannot answer that question. I do remember how nerve racking it was waiting for that letter. I recieved my letter later than others and I was sure I was not chosen. There were a lot of people that applied and did not get called for an int...

For those who receive an interview letter congratulations you are halfway there. The interview is not difficult but I bought a book called 1001 interview questions (something like that) and they used some of the same questions in the interview. It ...
