  1. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    TRUE! We lost several people who insisted on keeping up with jobs. They worked hard, I know, because a couple were my friends but, not putting enough time into school will be the end. The big truth...

  2. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    This is EXACTLY how I felt my interview went last year. To this day, I don't remember how I answered some of the questions, but I know I was

  3. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    We are required to interview applicants as part of the final semester nursing management class, so it is definitely very structured. They all had a group "debriefing" before you guys came in...

  4. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    LRMama: Don't sweat it! I thought I was a rambling idiot in my interview last year and here I am, deep in the trenches of CARE IX. You should've seen me! Talk about a mess! If you're like me, you...

  5. Applying to LSUHSC-NO CARE Program for Fall 2010

    cpkRN replied to nrs.to.be's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Hiya, I've just been letting you guys chat it up cause I really have no info to offer other than what I already did :). I haven't heard anything specific about the interview process with the exception...

  6. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Yuppers, I'll be there Monday. I think you know who I am, but I'll out myself cause I know who you are :). As for the interviews again: there were 2 CARE VII students and one administrator in my...

  7. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    We only had one person go to the traditional program and she said they told her she was the first CARE student to actually ASK to go to traditional (everyone else was there to repeat a failed class)....

  8. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    The info on the number of interviewees last year came from this website, so take it with a grain of salt... LOL! I'm not so sure the program has caught on. Those I know with a prior bachelors have...

  9. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    We started with 55 students and CARE VIII had close to the same number. If they plan to accept as many as the past 2 years, then I'm sure it will take them a bit of time to contact everyone eligible...

  10. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Interviews are super laid back - much like a friendly job interview. Just be yourself. They ask a whole lot of "Tell me about yourself," kind of things. Also, have a genuine answer about why you want...

  11. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    All our interviews last year were on consecutive Saturdays. I don't know if they're doing more than one day but with our schedules around here, Satudays actually make sense

  12. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Yes, you should get notification either way. I was scheduled for the interview over the phone, though. My interview was in March last year and I got my acceptance at the very end of April via snail...

  13. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Hey, barhood! Congrats to you guys - I just talked to 3 of your classmates today and it sounds like y'all are getting psyched for graduation. Anyhow, I'd also like to extend an offer to meet up with...

  14. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    My class was the first to have the new rubric last year. Aside from a few of the application pieces, we never officially knew how things in the application were weighted. We all seem to have a variety...

  15. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I actually could've chosen a date that was a month away but I was available, so I just went for it. I'm sure they'll work with you on dates. I'm in CARE 9 right now and we don't know a thing about...

  16. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Haha! We had 6 straight weeks of craziness and now we have a schedule lag until April 5. Down time is not good for staying in the study

  17. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I don't have a clue how they're doing things this year but last year I was given a choice of 2 interview dates with one choice being less than 4 days away from when I got the call and the other being...

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Hope test 2 was survivable for everyone today - that one was my worst. I think it was for many others too. Again, don't ever give up on it no matter what! All of us ahead of you are sending you good...

  19. Big envelope = accepted. Small = rejected?

    cpkRN replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    When I got accepted to my program, I got one sheet of paper in a regular envelope with instructions to go to the school website to read all the other info that would normally come in the big packet....

  20. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    cpkRN replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I hear ya. Wish someone would've yelled this at me (yes, I know the movie reference). I cried every day for 2 weeks at one point , but I don't make a deal out of it like some people. I keep it in my...

  21. Job market for new grads in NO?

    cpkRN replied to abigrace's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'm in my clinicals in New Orleans now and I haven't witnessed a single hospital hiring. I just finished at LSU Interim and, according to everyone I worked with there, they have a state-mandated...

  22. LSU BSN

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    We used to have test review sessions on the following Tuesday afternoon. Y'all still have those scheduled? There you will get an idea of what's being thrown out, etc. There will be nothing official to...

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    The feeling will be there all semester. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer but, you go in feeling unprepared and you come out feeling like you've been hit by a truck. You'll check your answers and...

    You're awesome. I miss you. 99% of us have forgotten to SITFU. I needed the
