    Yes, you got the right one!

  3. Charity w/not so good GPA??

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to nursestudent1975's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Charity has a scoring program that takes into account GPA, withdrawals, failing grades, TEAS score, etc. You can go to their website and look at it to decide where you are. It is the "Applicant...

    Gotcha! It's a lot of money to accidentally grab the wrong one. It is Thieme's "Atlas of Anatomy" by Gilroy, MacPherson, and Ross. Thieme also has a website: winkingskull.com, if you need more...

    Atlas of Anatomy ISBN 978-1-60406-062-1. Unfortunately, my Human Anatomy is an instructor's edition. LOL! I turned it over to get the ISBN and saw where it has written "Not For Sale"! Comer's...

  6. Charity Fall 2010

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to wanting2bnurse's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    For those waiting on admittance to the Fall 2010 class, the letters should start arriving

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    FYI, I just googled the Vanders international edition and you can get the 11th ed. new for >$50 w/shipping. That's the edition I used and it was identical to the US edition, but it is

  8. LSU BSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    The advisors will tell you that the instructors don't HAVE to give a syllabus until the day before classes start. However, most are really helpful and if you email, will tell you. For my 4 classes...

  9. LSU BSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    As long as I am posting all of my thoughts on the physiology class, I'll also list what I thought was most helpful: 1. Other students - you will need each other's support unless you have an excellent...

  10. LSU BSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Assuming you have the same instructors we had (very likely) and the same general format we had (very likely), if I were taking your class, I would buy the older book and use the money I saved to buy...

  11. LSU BSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    This is just my opinion but I would not chance an older version of the Fundamentals book because you will be using it for more than one class. For the "Intro" class, an older version would likely be...

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I keep calling the "Atlas of Anatomy" a workbook and I apologize because it is not. It is actually softbound reference book. Most of my softbound books are true workbooks but this one is

  13. LSU BSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Unfortunately, I don't remember since it was so many books ago. I do remember that I saved a little on the Atlas and a lot on the textbook b/c it was used, as compared to the bookstore's prices. In...

  14. LSU BSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    The anatomy book we used is "Human Anatomy" by Marieb, Mallatt, & Wilheim. I used it twice. The workbook (which I used constantly) is "Atlas of Anatomy" by Gilroy, MacPherson, & Ross. I...

  15. LSU BSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I bought the Anatomy workbook (and a used textbook) on line and saved a bundle. Your mileage may vary. As for prepping before classes start, before I started in August I read chapters 1-7, 9-11,...

  16. LSU BSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    IMO, you can do without the hardbound Anatomy book but I strongly recommend the workbook (softbound). In fact, I would say it is a must have. As for the ab psych, yes, you will NEED the book. You...

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I got it at the LSU bookstore. I'm sure you can find it online, if you want to compare prices I paid right at $40 + tax for

  18. LSU BSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    For those who will be taking physiology next semester at LSUHSC, you might consider the study guide, "Physiology: Board Review Series". It is about $40 bucks new but if you find yourself in trouble in...

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

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Sugarcicle's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    LSU's CARE program is a 20 month program for students who already have a degree. It is 4 months of regular classes followed by 16 months of accelerated (but I understand that the last 4 months of the...

  20. NEED ADVICE

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Lsugal731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Lsugal, when you retake the course, consider getting the study guide "Physiology Board Review Series". I bought it last Thursday at the campus bookstore and read THE ENTIRE THING over the weekend. I...

  21. NEED ADVICE

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Lsugal731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    It breaks my heart to see all of the people who tried so hard in that class but it still wasn't enough. I would caution anyone entering this program to NOT enter unless you are willing to fail &...

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Lsugal731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Congrats! And don't lose faith on Physiology -- you only need to pass the final to pass the

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

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Sugarcicle's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I just started the CARE program. I picked it over Charity (I was accepted there also) because I intend to continue on to nurse practitioner. This means that I would need a BSN or at least do a bridge...

  24. Charity SON Acceptance ??s

    BeeJayCeeYa posted a topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I've applied with Charity SON for the Spring 2010 class (as my back-up to the LSU CARE program). I wasn't able to get my application in until mid-Feb but I did beat the new Feb 27 cut off date. 1....
