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

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

    Forgot to answer your question. Out of the classmates we lost, we lost the most to physiology after the fall semester ended. Some left the day after we started, another couple people left after our...

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

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

    We miss you too beejaycee! A 4.0 is highly possible in the first semester. Keeping that 4.0, however, is another story. I don't believe anyone will make that after the cluster we had this week. We are...

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

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

    Not sure what the baseline GPA was, but I had a 3.72 going into the program. I'm guessing only pre reqs are counted because I graduated with a 3.12 the first time around - there's no way they...

  4. LSU BSN

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I dunno how it'll work for you guys but last semester we had it from 1-4 on Thursdays in LR1 - maybe it will be the same? I'm sure there are enough of you taking it that word will get around. That's...

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Oh, my bad. I just took for granted that you were starting the same day SOPH II came back. Welcome

    Have a great first day tomorrow new SOPH I's! Welcome to

    Haha - we posted at the same time!

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    This is just my opinion: Keep in mind that you will have to have all of those required books on hand for the tenure of your college curriculum. I'd suggest buying them all now, because the books for...

  9. LSU BSN

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Several things seem to be messed up in the IT department right now. Some of us who are actually in the middle of a class block right now (CARE) are getting messed up stuff in our email and strange...

  10. need info about central school of pn in cleveland ohio

    cpkRN replied to kevin conner's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't have much information for you but I do have a close friend who went to school there. They have nothing but positive things to say about their education at Central. They graduated 2 years ago...

  11. Want to apply to LSU SON...Any advice?

    cpkRN replied to jbcap's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    If you're counting any of your Loyola classes as pre reqs, only those ones will most likely be counted in there. As an example: I had an overall GPA of 3.12 for my first bachelors degree but when I...

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Your first semester, you just wear regular clothes. No uniforms till soph II. Plain white shoes come into play when you wear uniforms. The lecture rooms can go from downright freezing to steaming hot...

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    beejaycee's advice is poifect! I'd just like to add that if you're a notecard maker, don't waste your time and energy. Using rote memorization in phys will absolutely not cut it. I wasted a ton of...

    cpkRN replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'll give you one line of advice about physiology: work hard, study harder, and don't give up on it even if you think you're failing (and you will think you're failing at some point) - see it through...

  15. Charity or LSU-CARE? (and their Holiday schedules)

    cpkRN replied to Sugarcicle's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I was accepted to both CARE and Charity. I chose CARE (just finished my first semester) and would be graduating at the same time as if I would've gone to Charity. The thing with CARE is that the first...

  16. How much does LSU-CARE cost?

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

    http://www.lsuhsc.edu/no/tuition/nursing.php Scroll halfway down and you'll see "CARE Undergraduate." Add up the Fall, Spring, and Summer then tack on another Fall and Spring. That's not exactly how...

  17. NEED ADVICE

    cpkRN replied to Lsugal731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Congrats! Me too! I opened that grade sheet up and had a little party in her office . And beejaycee is right about phys - remember the final exam policy on the syllabus - if you pass that, it will...

  18. NEED ADVICE

    cpkRN replied to Lsugal731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Complain away, girl! You have to vent every so often even if it's just behind a computer screen. This stuff is HARD! I have a friend whose father is a thoracic surgeon. He looked at some of the phys...

  19. NEED ADVICE

    cpkRN replied to Lsugal731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'm right with you and I know what classes you're referring to. Last week's test was hard for me also because I failed the first one (but that was my fault for not studying enough - I assumed it would...

  20. Charity or LSU-CARE? (and their Holiday schedules)

    cpkRN replied to Sugarcicle's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'm in the same boat with beejaycee with my reasoning for choosing CARE over Charity. You can also go the traditional student route at LSU if you want normal academic breaks - there are many...

  22. Ethical Issue- Nurses not getting flu vaccine when they could!

    cpkRN replied to Aaron86's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was incredibly ill for 2 days after receiving the LAIV as was a friend of mine. We both had debilitating migraine headaches along with migraine complications like nausea and vomiting. You couldn't...

  23. Good TEAS score?

    cpkRN posted a topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Hi all, I don't post much, but I just took the TEAS today. I got an 84.1. I know that's more than what's needed to get in (the proctor today told us that they're raising the minimum score to 70 in...

  24. I need help!!!

    cpkRN replied to LSU nursing student's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I am sure you don't look "dumb." We're all in this together here! Spend as much time as you can in the cadaver lab and make sure to bring the lists from Moodle with you. Try covering the names of...

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

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

    We actually work on the cadavers in anatomy, not physiology - those who received credit for anatomy are missing out on working with the cadavers. It seems to be rather difficult to even get credit for...
