Congrats! I just started nursing school in August. I am also getting my 2nd degree and I feel like it's taken forever to finish those extra prereqs and actually start nursing school...it feels great! You will get very busy with school very quickly, so try to be as organized as possible before school starts! Organize your life, get all the extra stuff done that you've been meaning to do lately. And jump right in before class even starts! My class was assigned reading to start weeks before the first day of school, so I had already read about everything that was taught in the first few weeks. The basic stuff in the first few weeks is pretty easy, but all of the sudden the pace picks up so quickly...I have already gotten almost 2 weeks behind and we are only 6 weeks in! There is sooo much information to learn in such a little amount of time, so the best advice I can offer is to KEEP UP WITH IT! Good luck!!!

Hello all, I'm looking for some help. I am moving to New Orleans in June and am trying to find an accelerated (2nd degree) BSN program in the area. (I have no nursing experience but I work as a tech in an ophthalmology clinic). I am very interested in LSU Health Sciences Center but really know nothing about the school or have any other prospective schools in the area. Does anyone have some helpful advice to offer? If anyone has attended LSUHSC, I am wondering how competitive it is. Thanks! Michelle
