LSU offers a great education, one that you must put in an effort on. Its not an easy program. I absolutely was prepared to work as a nurse after graduation. LSU expects its students to be self sufficient, so some complaints I have heard have to do...

I graduated from LSU this past May. I'm curious to find out what bad things you have heard about LSU.

I took 265 last week in 5 hours. I passed :) I also did the PVT and got the good pop up.

Congrats!

Did you check the BON again. My RN # was posted shortly after noon :)

Took my test yesterday with 265 questions, got the good pop up. By noon today, I had an RN number on the BON website! It works!!!

I understand that completely. I tested yesterday as well and definitely never want to do that again

I'm right there with you! I've noticed it takes about 24 hours after finishing the nclex, my friends had there RN #. I'm fairly positive that the temp # goes away immediately if you fail the NCLEX.

If your state participates in the quick results, you can pay $7.95 48 hours after testing. The Pearson Vue Trick is supposedly 100% accurate if you get the good pop up. If you get a pop up while trying to re-register stating "ours records indicate y...

YES! Some rationales were basically "this isn't the answer"

I can say without a shred of doubt that Hurst question were no where near to the level of my test questions on the NCLEX today. I was getting 80's and 90's on hurst and ended up having the max amount of questions today. Definitely do a variety of q...

Spent 5 hours at the testing center today and got all 265 questions. I definitely can relate to the anxiety you are feeling. I still don't understand how I could have possibly needed 265 question for the computer to know if I was a pass or fail. D...

We had 2 preceptorships at my school, med surg (48 hrs) and specialty (118 hrs). For med surg, we were just placed where the school put us but for specialty we were allowed to choose our top 4 areas of interest and every effort was made to place in ...

Rest assured the NCLEX will tell you what they want. For your question above, I would follow normal rounding rules...if volume is greater than 1 ml-then round to the nearest tenth (as you did in the above) and if volume is less than 1 ml-round to the...

You would also listen to the lung fields while you wait for x-ray to come up. Diminished or absent breath sounds on the side that the central line was placed would be indicative of a pneumo.

The question will tell you what it wants your answer to me rounded to. Also, the answer should only contain number (no units-ml, mg, etc.)

I did my prereqs at SELU before applying to LSUHSC-SON in New Orleans, which is a BSN program like SELU. The only advice I can really offer is make sure you research other schools before settling on one. I new I wasn't going to have the GPA to get ...

Any body else suffering from this debilitating disease? With graduation only 3 months away, I am finding it harder and harder to study and do school work. Obviously I am still putting the work in, I'm just over it! I can't wait until this journey ...

Much gratitude for the correction.

Cfiest01: you are correct, you can go to the current students tab---> financial aid---> how to apply... and the code is there. But you have the right code.

I was fortunate enough to not have to work while in nursing school. Each semester has its own set of challenges that will require you to spend more time on school work than you have done in the past. Working while in nursing school will depend on h...

WOOHOO!!!! Can't get enough of these graduation threads I graduate in May 2013 with my BSN. Sweet relief is right around the corner!!

I probably bought the most books in my first year, it was all your basics...labs, care plan, physiology, pathophys, pharm, foundations, med-surg, atlas of anatomy for cadaver lab, health assessment. Most of those I have used throughout every followi...

mine were 8-10 hours 2x a week, depending on the clinical. The clinicals at the beginning of the program were 6 hours. Going into the last semester, I make my own schedule with my preceptor and clinicals will be a normal 12 hour shifts for 13 shift...

I have never brought my books to school to use them during the actual lecture; if they came with me, it was for studying material after class. Once you get started and into a routine, I think you will find your self reading the necessary pages befor...
