Hopefull nurse

Hi Ya'll, I am (or I should say was) excited because on June 17th I got the call I had been waiting for....I got into the LPN program at Charity School of Nursing in New Orleans! My happiness what short lived because as news starting spreading, I beg...

pinkfluffybunny, You are very right in EVERYTHING. ugggh, I had convinced myself to not go back to school and just forget about nursing. But gosh darn, I felt even more miserable about that. I never imagined myself saying I "missed school" after col...

Well, its been a few months since I left the LPN program...didn't get to graduate. Words cannot even begin to describe the pain I feel. I have cried almost every day since then...trying to figure out where I went wrong. Trying to understand why extra...

Hello everyone, up until yesterday I was in the LPN program but those plans have come crashing down. Due to circumstances I wish to not explain here, I can no longer remain in the program. I was very upset about it b/c I know had things been as promi...

jschex6, Thanks for the info. I will definitely look into it :)

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. That must be very tough for her and for you as well. Please have faith that this will pass and she will be able to once again resume her career as a nurse as she pleases. And you are already helping her by s...

Hi everyone, Okay, so I want to start a thread for all of those out there who plan to apply to the LPN program in May for Fall 2010. I am so excited to begin this semester and finally get to apply. I have to say my nerves are starting to kick in but ...

Yep, I failed the TEAS exam last Wednesday. Still today, I am crying about it and feel as if I will never get over it. I had such hopes of passing. I was close, %66.5. Is there anyone outhere that has failed this exam and successfully passed it the ...

As the Title says, I failed the TEAS in September and that shattered my dreams of ever graduation from Charity's RN program. Yes, I know that you can take it twice, but what if I fail again? Well, I am now planning to apply for the LPN program at Cha...

Hey Kubana87, I was applying to the RN program last year. Went at took my TEAS and was planning on heading straight over to Charity right after the test to turn in my paperwork.....and guess what? I Failed the TEAS! You are doing great. Your GPA is ...

Hi SU9032 :) I am happy to report that I was accepted to the Delgado's/Charity LPN program this August. We actually have our first skills check off this friday and I am so nervous. It has been a big adjustment from regular college tests and lectures ...

OMG! that is so true. They do that in my nursing program. They said not to use the LPN program as a stepping stone but that's exactly the way they advertise it in class. It does seem like they want us all to go further and get our RN degree. So will...

Hi guys! Well I have started the LPN program! Started last week an so far so good. For the first 8 weeks I will be going only Mondays (8:30-4pm) and Fridays (8:30-12pm). After that its Mon, Wed, and Friday till 4pm. Then it will be Monday thru Friday...

Thanks! So nervous and excited at the same time. Can't wait to start. I think it sucks that you cannot get pell grants if you decided to go back to school and start a new career. I think they should award us pell grants for actually venturing back in...

Hi, I also already have a B.S. from UNO and I will be starting the LPN program from Charity next month. I plan to bridge over to the RN program and then who knows. I have to say though that because of the previous B.S. you cannot get pell grants. S...

OMG! I dyed my hair red last night!!! I have pitch black hair and I really want it a light shade of Reddish brown. So I tried a Garnier Red tailored to Black hair and nothing happened. I am so disappointed. A while back I had some highlights done ...

Hi guys, Well I will find out this week if I made it in for the Fall 2010 class. I am so nervous as I have heard so many stories from people. I have heard that if you don't have at least a 90 profile score they won't consider you. I have heard that y...

Hey! Funny you should ask about that. A classmate was asking me the same question yesterday evening. She thought I would have to take it again! While I am 200% sure that is not the case, I am thinking we will have a less stressful 1st semester since ...

Hi, I very sorry that you haven't found a job yet. It scares me because I am startint the Charity LPN program next month and I wonder, as an RN peoplel are having trouble finding a job...what about when I become an LPN? Have you tried applying to oth...

Hey! The liability insurance is from the vendor that Charity works with. Don't know if you can go with someone else so I just decided to go with them since $245 for a year is ok. I got the first Hep B shot last year and then forgot to go get the othe...

Hi! Oh, I am so excited to finally meet someone who will be joining me in August. The shock of getting that long awaited call has finally faded and now I am so nervous and excited about starting the program. I hope I can do well. So what have you don...

Thank you all for your advice. I guess I don't really care about the opinions of others. It's just that it hurts when you want to share some happy news with family and "close" friends and all you get is, negativity. Around here, it is such a touchy s...

Kitti419, Congratulations on nearing the end! I am sure it has been a tough but exciting road. Also wanted to let you know that after all my ups and downs I have been accepted to Charity's LPN program for Fall 2010! It has been 2 weeks (tomorrow) sin...

Hi! yes, they called those that had been accepted into the program. For those that were not accepted, they were mailed a letter in which they also were told the reason(s) why they were not accepted. I am sure glad I got a call. What scares me the mos...
