  1. Charity School of Nursing, Application

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Gracielou717's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    No one is denying your right to be disappointed! Yes, it is a big blow! Yes, it hurts! But I hate to see you make an irreversible mistake (dropping out without withdrawing) while you are upset that...

  2. Charity School of Nursing, Application

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Gracielou717's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    RN hopeful, Your story is sad but nothing has changed for you (except your purse is a little lighter). Two days ago you hadn't passed the TEAS and today you haven't passed the TEAS. You are not the...

  3. Applying to LSUHSC-NO CARE Program for Fall 2010

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to nrs.to.be's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'm going thru the CARE program now and I'm not sure how much it costs! (But I spend a lot of time looking confused about obvious things! ) Anyway, here is a link to the latest info posted for...

  4. Rolling backpacks

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to HisBrownEyedGirl's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought a Magellan backpack from Academy Sports and love it. The wheels are large so it rolls well even when loaded. It is very stable when I prop it up alongside my desk. It has lots of...

  5. Best route to go from ADN to NP

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Markis's topic in General Nursing

    Some colleges (Loyola here in New Orleans comes to mind) have "bridge" programs that let you bypass earning the BSN and move directly to MSN. There are additional courses that are required which adds...

  6. Sad day in the USA

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to rickkijo's topic in Emergency

    rickkijo, I see that there is a Canadian flag after your name. Are you from Canada? Do you have experience with that health care

  7. Did your nursing program require letters of recommendation?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    The LSU CARE (accelerated) program also required to references, one from a business contact and one from an educational contact. Like ranidays and kfarinato, it was a form with ratings but very...

  8. gpa question

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to kjrillie's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    At LSU, the MINIMUM GPA for the regular BSN program is 2.8 and for CARE it is 3.0. However, it is very competitive (where is not these days?) and the actual GPAs of admitted students are likely...

  9. Charity and early acceptance

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to kwest210's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    If you are already enrolled at Delgado, it does not cost to apply to Charity. What is the downside of applying for Fall 2010 and then again for Fall 2011 if you aren't accepted? If you are turned...

  10. Debinding textbooks -- Did you regret it later?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    I just debound one book and have scanned much of it to PDF files that I have on my laptop. Sweet! And as if just carrying the sections I need won't be awesome enough, the PDFs are searchable so I...

  11. Some questions about the ACT

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Students

    The accelerated BSN program to which I applied did not require or request my ACT scores. However, this is a 2nd degree program. The ASN program to which I applied uses a point system to determine...

  12. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    YES! And too many people don't even have the sense to 'moo' before they are headed off to the slaughter house. And no, I didn't ask you to base an 'opinion' about one line. Realistically, I asked...

  13. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you for a more thorough and researched position! Here's one back atcha! As long as we are requiring people to know specific details of documents, would you mind reciting to me the 3rd line...

  14. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, keithjones, now you are being open about your position. Do it right? I am too cynical to believe that our government will get it right on the first try. There is too much money involved in...

  15. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    And I respect those answers. Although I disagree with the statement that $40k is poverty, it IS hardly fair recompense for the study, work, and responsibilities involved in much of nursing. However,...

  16. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    That is certainly a possibility and I would like to know if that is the case. I don't want to prejudge the OP one way of the other so I asked. I have a couple of questions of my own: If healthcare...

  17. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious: is there a source for the numbers you used? Is there a proposal out there in the initiatives being put forward for capping nursing pay? Or are you being

  18. Relocating to LA

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to CCP06's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Any reason you aren't considering the smaller hospitals closer to Opelousas? Opelousas General, Ville Platter General, or Savoie Memorial in Mamou come to mind. I am not recommending any of the...

  19. Calling all sane nurses, need your help fast

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to twinmommy+2's topic in General Nursing

    Would a women's shelter be able to provide some legal guidance? Surely they would have an attorney contact who might be able to

  20. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Congratulations and well done! I was wondering how things were going with you and if you were accepted. We filled out a bunch of paperwork (all available online so don't panic) and got to meet each...

  21. Anyone hoping to get into Charity School of Nursing for Spring 2010!!

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to HopefullySpring2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Just got back from a vacation trip and had my acceptance letter in the pile of mail waiting for me. What a pleasant change from the pile of

    The agenda for Friday's CARE student advising session has been

  23. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    nolahscstudent, although this is NOT what those of us going into the program want to hear, thank you for your post. Forewarned is forearmed (although why I would want 4 arms is beyond me:coollook:)....

  24. Charity SON Acceptance ??s

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to BeeJayCeeYa's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    You sound like you are in a really dark place right now. If this is how you truly feel, perhaps you should talk with someone who can help you put things in

  25. BSN or BHA ????

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to MsKiesha's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Someone very close to me is a diploma RN with an MBA and a MSHCM, He is going back to school for his degree in nursing because the fact that he does not have it has been used against him several times...
