No, we workers in the US do NOT have it better than any other time in history. Several decades ago there was less of a gap between the rich and the poor and there was not such a small number of people holding such a great percentage of the country's...

There have always been people willing to cross picket lines, but that doesn't mean you don't unionize and try! I can't believe how workers in this country have just given up and accept crumbs while the big corporate players just get richer and richer...

I understand how you might feel the strike -- and you by extention -- was responsible but I agree with the writer who pointed out it was the lock-out, not the strike, that caused this. That and Sutter's decision to bring in travelers willing to cros...

It's not about enjoying nursing school, it's about getting a very expensive, often inadequate education while dealing on a daily basis with an incompetently run program. There is so much to learn in so short of time, there is no room for disorganiza...

I don't know anything about the nearby apartments. I know there are some because I drive by a few of them but I don't know anything about them. Some of the books we've used are the same but not all of them. For pharmacology we used "Clinical Drug T...

Or if you don't have a Bachelor's, give Delgado or another institution a try. I'd have to vote thumbs down for this school. Thank goodness we only have 10 1/12 more weeks until we graduate.

I just looked at the Website too and you're right -- they've taken that requirement out. I know for sure that they are in the process of creating an accelerated BSN program (to be ready to go in a few years), so perhaps this is a change that interfa...

The application we will filled out was called the "Application for Admission Professional Clinical Programs." If that was not the application you filled out, you need to call the school admissions office and ask them what to do. In addition to the...

Yes, three letters of reference were required. You'll want to check their application to make sure that is still the case but I can't imagine that it's changed. if the process is still like it was last winder, you go into the online application (ht...

This is from personal experience, not nursing experience (I don't have any of that yet). Every time I have a primary care visit, my doctor's office submits the paperwork with the wrong code. The billing company then submits it with the wrong code, an...

Any one accepted to the OLOL EJ program who is a resident of Orleans Parish and trying to get the OLOL background check forms taken care of should know that neither the Louisiana State Police, the Orleans Sherrif's Dept, nor the NOPD are doing finger...

Okay, I just spoke to the lady that administers the three New Orleans accelerated programs and she confirmed for me that the FIRST DAY OF CLASSES FOR THE EJ PROGRAM IS SEPT. 28TH. I told her that the Admissions Office in Baton Rouge is telling every...

the website page that has the tuition and fees (don't forget those fees!) is http://www.ololcollege-edu.org/content/home-current-students-bursar-tuition-and-fees , then you select 2009-2010 under accelerated asn (accelerated associate of science in n...

I called again and this time they are saying the first day of classes is August 21st, which makes no sense because the letter says our transcripts are due to the school AFTER classes begin. Plus it would make orientation a mere 2 weeks prior to clas...

I did last semester (as well as Summer and Fall 08) but I'm not taking anything this this summer.

What a bummer -- I know the waiting is agony!!! (I can't believe he said to wait until Wednesday!) I'll keep my fingers crossed for you . . .

It's my understanding that they send them out at the same time (acceptance and rejection letters). I'd call them on Monday if I were you because the our accept or decline letters are due to their WJ office by Friday June 12th. If yours got lost in ...

I forgot to mention that the date they give in the letter for the first day of classes is wrong. I'd called around the first of the year and asked what the first day of classes would be at EJ and at that time they said Sept. 21. So when I got the l...

I got a letter from OLOL today -- I got into the EJ program! The hospital isn't going to pay anyone's tuition this year, so I'm going to have to get a student loan for that. Obviously this means no guaranteed job upon graduation, but I'm just going...

I don't know her exact GPA, but I'm sure it's over 3.5. She's a good student, in her mid 30's, not married, no children. I'm sure she had excellent letters of reference and wrote a good essay.

one of my friends applied to the tulane program and she got her letter yesterday, telling her she'd been accepted. i assume they didn't do interviews because as of a month ago they were still in contract negotiations with tulane (or at least that's ...

No, I didn't meet with OLOL -- I've just spoken with them over the phone (many times). I received the same kind of letter and from what I understand, the interviews will be in July. Which means we have a bit of a wait still ahead of us. My plan i...

beejaycee: Everytime I have spoken with OLOL about various matters, I've continued to ask about the Micro Lab requirement. They have been consistent in their replies -- it's now required but will be waived for those applying to the East Jefferson p...

Kitti419: Where did you get the idea that OLOL's Accelerate Program doesn't require A&P II? They most certainly do. The prereqs are listed on their website (http://www.ololcollege.edu/download/Curriculum%20Plan%20for%20Accelerated%20ASN%20Degr...
