Has anyone who applied heard back from them yet? Or have any idea when they will be conducting interviews?

for one, you will be going to the hospital every week, starting week 2. you will get a TON of information- in the first week. and throughout the whole semester, but i was shocked at how much we covered week 1. overall (and same as basics) you have to...

2 girls at school said they had 2 interviews, and haven't heard back yet. and it was over 3 weeks ago. so i have no idea what's going on with ochsner

I worked in a restaurant the first half of my first semester, and a doc's office the second half- with about 6 weeks of overlap. i still had plenty of study time. i worked no less than 30 hours per week, plus class and clinicals. if you know how t...

ok, taking the pm pharm teacher is not that bad- just don't take her tests. at the beginning of the semester, you will have the option to take the day test or the evening test- DO NOT take the evening tests. the day teacher makes the day test and the...

i work as a MA for a dermatologist and was assisting in my first surgery today. the doc did the removal of the skin, and as she was cauterizing, i got this weird wave over me. i figured it would go away, so i just dealt- i figured the smell was getti...

I'm starting basics this August and have heard from a couple of people that some of the texts aren't necessary- esp the pharm text. Can any of y'all who have already been through back this up? I'd rather not spend the $ if I don't have to, so any inf...

thanks for your reply, cajunmom. i called ochsner but they couldnt help me. but i did manage to find another cpr class. if anyone else still needs it, here's the info. it's at tulane- the health sciences ctr on canal st, i believe- at least that's wh...

has everyone done cpr certification? i was supposed to do mine next sunday, but it looks like it's gonna fall through anyone have any suggestions? tia

my aunt bought my steth for me. it's a littman classic s.e. II (or some form of that haha) and came from uniforms by bayou. i'm not positive on the price, but i think it was around $70. they are supposed to be really good ones to have and they come ...

we have to go there to get ID's made? for some silly reason, i assumed they'd do that at our orientation. do we need them before we go to orientation? when i was at uno, they always sent out info telling us what, where, when, why, how- delgado just ...

check with some students who are done with the first semester- they will tell you which books you absolutely need. i was on my way to buy mine but found out from a senior that all i really need from the "required" list is mosby's dictionary and the d...

the cpr card, liability ins, etc are to be turned in on aug 18, according to the packet i have. although, it's probably a good idea to bring it to orientation too. i think we all go for 8am on thurs the 14th, and fri it's only for 2 hrs according to...

besides the $ for the drug test (and i imagine a pen and notebook) do we need to bring anything with us to orientation?

lisaque, it takes a year, if you get in on your first try. i applied last august to start this august, but wasnt accepted, so i resubmitted my application for january. i got a call a couple of months ago from charity saying that i was accepted to the...

i'll be working. keeping my serving job as long as i can...

hey cajunmom, i got your pm, but i'm new and can't pm til i get 15 posts boo:down: anyhow, you mentioned carpooling and i live no too far from you, but i'll be going at night this semester. but i'm sure we can work something out for orientation

well, every school is different- the school i went to for my bachelor's is known for weeding students out through their math program. i SUCK at math and always struggled through my classes but i found stats to be super easy. i took it online and got...

i'll be 30- i wanted to be a nurse when i was in high school- but didnt want to do the work i just finished my bachelor's last year and i'm happy with the road i've taken(long as it may be). i don't think i would be as ready if i had tried soone...

i find myself doing the same thing- thinking way too much lol. my work schedule is kind of all over the place right now, so when i'm off(which is a lot these days), i find my brain wandering- am i going to do well? am i smart enough? will i study eno...

i've already started reading Fundamentals Success. and i just got prentice hall's drug guide for nurses. just going to buy books one at a time- they ain't cheap! thanks for your response

I'm starting basics this fall. i've read the fundamentals success text, waiting on the others to be delivered. can't wait to get started!
