Got the letter today! Can't wait to start and meet you all!

AngelP, Believe it or not, I think we have worked together if I am thinking you are who you are. At RO ED? If not, I just want to tell you that you and I have similar backgrounds- I have my BA and MA in Psych. I just graduated from OLOL Tulane in May...

Ok, I wait every day to see if something from OLOL will come in the mail. I really am getting impatient. Anyone hear any news?

How important is it to buy all of the books NOW? We start on 8/14 and I would like to buy the books used online, but am afraid that if I buy older editions, that may not work. How acceptable is it to have an older version of a book? Also, if I WAIT t...

Our current schedule at Tulane OLOL Accelerated program is something like 3 days of lecture and 2 12 hour days of clinicals each week. It is definitely subject to change, but for now, it's not too bad.

Our nursing instructor in NO told us that the BR accelerated program does not offer the stipend this year but then again you also have no signed contract with any hospital. That means you are free to work where you want.

Hey y'all, When do you think we start? I am sure we will find out on July 2 at orientation...just wondering if anyone has the inside scoop or any news?

I am currently enrolled in the New Orleans Accelerated program. We just started last Tuesday and it's already been QUITE an experience! I'm so fortunate to have been accepted and am grateful. My credentials: BA in Psychology. Master's in Psychology. ...

Thanks soooo much for the tips. I have printed out what you wrote, for future reference. I am starting this Fall and am so excited about the program. I already bought my pharm books but am still looking to buy some used books from someone. If you thi...

Well, like you, I was also accepted to both Charity and OLOL Accel. NOLA. I chose OLOL. Charity is a wonderful school and I am sure I would have been happy there. But, to be honest, I have been in school for a VERY VERY long time. OLOL is giving me a...

I am taking Chemistry this summer too. Luckily it's a very easy class. I got this health packet for OLOL in the mail yesterday and it is SO overwhelming!

I check the mail relentlessly every day this week. Will it be tomorrow??? Friday??? Can't take the suspense any longer!

Thanks so much for telling us! Looking forward to hearing good news and then meeting ALL of you!

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I'm glad the journey's short. I had my interview and felt that it went very well. I hope the feeling was mutual.

I have a question for you: how prepared do you feel for the boards? Does OLOL have a lot of graduates who pass the state boards?

Has everyone heard the BIG news? OLOL has pushed up the interviews so that we can know sooner what the decision is. My interview was moved from june to next week!

I am really excited about the interview. And nervous! So much rides on this decision.

Thanks for the helpful info. Any more suggestions on how to succeed in the program? studying tips?

I also have an interview! I'm so happy!

I am one of those OLOL applicants with my life on hold. I can sympathize. My good friend who is currently an RN graduated last May from LSU CARE. She loved it and is thrilled with the education she received. She does say that it was ridiculously fast...

WOW! Let's keep our fingers crossed! Thanks for the update!

Is there anyone out there who has applied to other nursing schools and is having to pay a lot of preliminary fees for other nursing schools as backup plans in case OLOL doesnt come through?

Micro is tough. I'm taking A&P 2 right now. Hard. Mid April would be great. My whole life right now revolves around whether or not I get in. Did you apply to any other schools?

No word yet about anything....still counting down the days until I know SOMETHING. I think it's kinda ridiculous to make us wait until April/May.

I am waiting on pins and needles! I got the letter today saying that they were reviewing the apps. I was hoping it was something else....
