  1. HRSA Nursing Scholarship Application--Now AVAILABLE!!

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to futureflrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately, it seems that you must have an EFC of $0: "First funding preference will be given to qualified applicants with the greatest financial need (those who have an expected family...

  2. TEAS Exam

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to HULIYO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is my experience with the TEAS exam and hopefully this might do you a little good: I took it at my 2-yr college in Dec 08. It was the computer version, 170 questions, with instant results. This...

  3. HRSA Nursing Scholarship Application--Now AVAILABLE!!

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to futureflrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can anyone tell me where I can find a listing of "health care facilities with a critical shortage of nurses."

  4. Need a loan but already have a BA in Comm

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to phottovy87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wonder why you were told you won't get a student loan if you have a bachelors? Is it possible the woman at NWCC was referring to a Pell Grant and not a Stafford Loan? I have a bachelors degree and...

  5. TEAS Exam

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to HULIYO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't mind me asking, what does your school consider a passing grade? At my 2-year school, a passing grade is 70 (and the test can be taken only twice

  6. Starting from scratch @ 45

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to scrappymom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've just scanned through the responses so forgive me if I'm repeating something already said. There are several different routes to RN: diploma, associate degree (ASN), or bachelor degree (BSN)....

  7. What book to buy to "brush up" on A&P?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to proudRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Teaching Company has a series of video lectures on A&P that I think are awesome! The lectures are done by Dr. Anthony Goodman and have really helped me with my A&P classes. Not cheap but...

  8. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    nomoreIT: Good catch about the priority deadline! According to LSU's website the deadline is April 15th! If anyone has not done so yet, you might want to file the

  9. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I've already applied for financial aid. Can't hurt to think positive! And if I don't make it into the CARE program, I'll likely take a couple of classes at Delgado in the fall so I included them on...

  10. Nursing Help! LSU va CSN

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Boogs1203's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    If you want to compare the NCLEX rates, the La. State Board has annual reports from 2002 - 07 available: http://www.lsbn.state.la.us/Documents/AnnualReports.asp The numbers seemed to have gotten a...

  11. Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology, anyone successfully complete these in one term?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Ickles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    deleted

  12. OLOL accelerated nursing program EJGH

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to allison504's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    noladancer: How solid is that information about the new Micro Lab requirement?

  13. About to take Anatomy & Physiology.........need input!

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Shawn7997's topic in General Nursing

    If the new book also comes with online access to the publishers' website, be sure and check that out. My book did and the website has some pretty good online tests to help with the

  14. Drop the class or stay in?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to labchic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I gave the impression that I am blaming the class, that is not at all my intention; I am trying to be pragmatic. If an entire class averages below a 'C' (which by definition is 'average'), the...

  15. Drop the class or stay in?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to labchic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just out of curiosity - since the average score was an 'F' on the last test, have you thought about going to talk to the instructor and see if she has any plans to help the class, i.e. extra credit or...

  16. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    If the interview was 30% and our GPA is 20%, did she say where the other 50% came from? I must have misunderstood that the GPA was 40%. Or, given that you say there were no interviews last year,...

  17. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    There is a background check done on students but I don't know when it is done or how far it goes. If it is done ONLY on students (or students-to-be)... Gosh, I hope they don't call my boss. I'm...

  18. How many of you plan on going beyond BSN?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to Idaho Murse's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am an older student (my SS# is 000-00-0013 ) and my eventual goal is NP. I have friends who are CRNAs and that doesn't seem to be for me but I will shadow one when the appropriate time comes to be...

  19. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Keep the faith, nomoreIT! The powers-that-be behind the CARE program realize that we are generally not traditional students. During one of my conversations with someone at LSU I remember being told...

  20. I think that I may be the oldest male nursing student when I enter this fall

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to mmrush1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'll be 49 when I start nursing school! One of the interviewers (for the accelerated program I am hoping to enter) commented that the older students tend to keep things on track and

  21. Job Interview tomorrow...HELP!

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    PS - About the "sell yourself but let them down later" thing, that is a common fear and worry. It's often called "the impostor phenomenon" and is relatively common around the 90 day mark of starting...

  22. Job Interview tomorrow...HELP!

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Just a couple of suggestions: 1. http://jobsearch.about.com/od/interviewquestionsanswers/a/interviewquest.htm 2. It is almost impossible to overdress for a job interview BUT be comfortable. 3. Know...

  23. LSUHSC CARE Program Information

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Congrats on getting this far! We don't always see it that way but we have now done everything we can up to this point and that in itself is nothing to sneer at. And if your interview session was...

  24. A&P Online Without Prerequisites

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to MN-Dan's topic in General Nursing

    I took MicroBio and College Chem from an online organization called CalCampus. They also offer a basic A&P. Both LSU and Our Lady of the Lake nursing programs said (in writing) that they will...

  25. Job interview: Men must wear suits?

    BeeJayCeeYa replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with John20. It is almost impossible to be overdressed in an interview and you will never get a second chance to make a first impression. If you are the outstanding candidate for a position,...
