   There is no way to accurately state an average HESI score for incoming LSU BSN students, because you are the first group of students to take this test and therefore there isn't a precedent. The only idea you could get would be if someone replies to y...

   I was in a similar boat as you with a good prereq GPA, then an unsatisfactory score on some sections of the test and great on others. I desperately wanted to retake the test, however it was too close to the deadline and I was unable to do so, which l...

3. I failed the TEAS-RN so now going for Charity LPN...what do you think?

   Great job everyone! Congrats! You know that if you have LA residency the program has probably one of the best price to quality ratios in the country. Lucky us... Anyway, no packet yet. Is the advising session the same thing as the panel interview or...

   It definitely must be in the air because I've been antsy about when a letter will be coming all day too. Waiting until Friday or next week feels quite torturous. And ditto, it is good to know I'm not the only one biting the proverbial fingernails. Ta...
