    su9032 replied to oldsouth's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Here's what my friend and I did before Basics to get a head start. We went to the library and watched some of the Tegrity CSN multimedia videos. We were the only new students who did this, but it was....

    su9032 replied to Hopefull nurse's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    RN hopeful, I saw on another post that you already have a job at EJ. That's great. I just did my clinicals there and I was hoping to get into their tech program this summer, but they're doing away...

    su9032 replied to katie011289's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Actually, as I'm sitting here preparing for my NAC 1 final, I'm thinking that you should look further into Human Diseases. I did not take that class, but I can tell you that a lot of NAC 1 entails...

    su9032 replied to katie011289's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    are you thinking about getting a BSN after you get the RN from Charity? If so, you could take classes that would apply to that such as Chemistry. You can check out LSU's RN to BSN program to get some...

    su9032 replied to neworleans0384's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    NewOrleans0384, I would think that you should have a good shot at getting in for the fall. Many students do not get in on their first attempt. I really think that they focus on the TEAS the most. One...

    su9032 replied to Hopefull nurse's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    RN Hopeful, I just saw your response that you are already in the LPN program. That's awesome. When are you supposed to graduate? I really think that you will get a strong foundation with your clinical...

    su9032 replied to Hopefull nurse's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    RN hopeful, What have you decided to do or have you gotten into an LPN program or have you retaken the TEAS? I see no problem with applying for the LPN program. You could do that and get most of your...

    su9032 replied to 2moreyears's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    brittemmons, I get my nurse paks at Chimes. If you haven't already purchased your uniform, I would suggest Elgee Uniforms on Tulane. They also have all the supplies and give students a discount. They...

    su9032 replied to 2moreyears's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    su9032 replied to 2moreyears's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    You need your text, a drug guide, Fundamentals of Success (it's a must for test taking skills), and the Nursing Diagnosis book for your care plans. I'd also recommend the pocket version of the medical...

    su9032 replied to 2bnursenikki316's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Mrs. Gleason, I dreaded the paperwork for clinicals because there was a lot to fill out or type up. It's overwhelming when you first try to read the charts, but you will get the hang of it. My...

    su9032 replied to future_looks_good's topic in Louisiana Nursing
