  1. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    My friend is in the Lakeview area of New Orleans (I think). She received her Charity acceptance 2 days before I did (I live in Kenner), so I think she just gets her mail out of downtown faster. I'm...

  2. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I just had to vent/freak out a bit here! My friend received her acceptance for the traditional BSN program today! Now I'm really antsy for them to send out CARE

  3. What the Heck Moments!

    cpkRN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    A bit OT here but I'm dying to know how you deal with/properly educate these people (I'm just a student). Or do you just have to suck it up and go along with it no matter how impossible the request...

  4. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Yikes! Thinking back, I think I might have sounded like too much of a perfectionist in my interview. That's definitely one of my more negative traits but I don't freak out if I get a low grade....

  5. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    This is my first time applying to CARE and a current student mentioned (before my interview) that there were 90 applicants interviewing. I thought that was a really low number. There were so many...

  6. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Weight off your shoulders, huh? Great job! I had such an adrenaline rush coming out of my interview that I thought I did awesome. Then, once I came down from that rush, I started thinking about my...

  7. Charity SON Acceptance ??s

    cpkRN replied to BeeJayCeeYa's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    HAHAHA! Thanks for my morning laugh! Charity was originally my first choice because I didn't think I had a prayer with LSU CARE. I went to a very small out-of-state college and thought I might have...

  8. Charity SON Acceptance ??s

    cpkRN replied to BeeJayCeeYa's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    1. Yes. It takes awhile for acceptance letters to come out. I've been accepted for Fall '09 - the application deadline was 8/31/08 and didn't receive my acceptance letter until mid-December. 2. I...

  9. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'll second what nomoreIT says about the interview. My experience was very much the same. I was very nervous and stumbled around myself but everyone in the room made me very comfortable and it was...

  10. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Looks like we're on the right track! I have an interview also (but I'm thinking that's part of the process now). Oh well, still excited! I'm going to go back over things that I put on my application...

  11. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Yes, Charity is part of Delgado. It is an ASN program - 4 semesters. I have a BA in Business from a small, private college in Ohio, so I've never had a speck of medical experience! I'll keep you...

  12. Charity and early acceptance

    cpkRN replied to kwest210's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I was in your same situation, hon. I busted my hump at a 4 year liberal arts college with a great rep and Delgado/Charity won't let some transfer. I had to retake 2 English and 2 Math along with the...

  13. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    cpkRN replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I sent my packet in about 4 weeks ago! Right now it's the waiting game to see if we get picked to interview and after that is the wait till MAY to know if we're in! AAARRRGGGHHH!! I've already been...

  14. Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology, anyone successfully complete these in one term?

    cpkRN replied to Ickles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I managed to pull it off and kept my 4.0. Albeit, I wanted to DIE most of the semester - anatomy, physiology, lab, microbiology, and sociology in one semester. However, I don't have any children. I...

  15. Charity and early acceptance

    cpkRN replied to kwest210's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Not sure about spring but I sent in my app mid-August for fall and received my acceptance on December

  16. Can't get these knots outta my neck

    cpkRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    A massage therapist suggested the same for me. I was actually stretching wrong and making the pain worse. I know we can be strapped for cash in school, but a great upper body deep tissue massage at...

  17. nursing schools in new orleans

    cpkRN replied to michelle1045's topic in General Nursing

    I just applied to LSUHSC's accelerated bachelor's for the Fall (apps due 2/1). My biggest piece of advice is to go over your transcript(s) with someone from the program. I'm glad I did or my app...

  18. Herpes stuffed animal?

    cpkRN replied to LuckyKelleyK's topic in Nursing Humor

    Haha! I thought I was just strange! I actually got one for my husband for his birthday last October. He thought it was pretty funny too (he's a science geek so he knew what it was). The only bad thing...

  19. What attracts people to hospice work?

    cpkRN replied to hospicegirl's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I don't know if this would be helpful or not as I'm still a student with hopes of being in hospice one day. Hospice is my main reason for going into nursing. My grandfather had very advanced cancer,...

  20. Nurses on meds

    cpkRN replied to Deevine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Deleted

  21. Had a transvaginal exam, and I'm depressed.

    cpkRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Always makes it worse (at least for me) that it's translady partsl - you just want to scream, "Get this dang thing out of my freaking uterus already!" I know it's not way up there, but I think you...

  22. Charity Fall 2009

    cpkRN replied to donni23's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'M IN!!!! Got the "big packet" in the mail today (12/13/08)!!! So excited! Everyone post here as you get

  23. Charity Fall 2009

    cpkRN replied to donni23's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    A friend of mine got her acceptance yesterday. I've been running to my mailbox every hour. I'm afraid that with this darn snow (yes, in New Orleans!) the mailman might not make it! Good luck to you!...

  24. Are There Any Sorority Women Here?

    cpkRN replied to UjonesRN's topic in General Students

    Not in nursing school, but during my first undergrad - Phi Mu. Trying to become active alum member

  25. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    cpkRN replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    I had my wisdom teeth taken out under very strong IV sedation (not sure what it was, I was 15 at the time). When I came to, I said, "That was fun, let's do it again!" My mom still hasn't let me live...
