Good luck to u! What about the NCLEX? Thanks for responding.

Hi kitt419, I am starting OLOL-BR accelerated in Sept. How is studying for the NCLEX going? Any jobs prospects yet? Just trying to get a "feel" for what to expect. Thanks!

Thanks! However, the accelerated program is an associate's degree not BSN. The only grant that I know of is WIA; which is through the LA Workforce Commission. Good luck to you.

WOW! That was great about the grant money. Was that through WIA? I am getting the paperwork together but it doesn't look too promising due to all the budget woes! Thanks for the info!

So, if you did the tuition-work contract, I assume you did that at the beginning of the program. If they did not decide until the middle of the program that they weren't going to offer jobs, I am also assuming that you then had to come up the tuition at this point??? Sorry, just trying to grasp this.

So, if you did the tuition-work contract in the beginning, I assumed you didn't pay tuition up front. Once they decided, in the middle of the program, that they weren't going to offer the tuition-work contract, how did you come up w/the funds to repay the tuition?

So, what happened at that point? I mean you were in the middle of the program at that time. Also, can you tell me what your schedule was like during the program? Thanks so much for your response.

Hi. I am accepted to the BR program for this Fall (2010). Can you tell me how the program has been so far for you? Thanks,

Hi. I am accepted to OLOL-BR Acclerated RN program for this fall. Does anyone know if OLOL will be offering the tuition-work contract option for this year? I understand it is a selective process but was wondering if it will even be an option. Thanks!

Thanks for the info! I consider myself a quick learner and don't mind putting forth the effort. However, I didn't want to attempt something that is just next to impossible either. I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. So, were there lots of reasearch projects or mainly nursing care plans, etc?

Thanks, once again for all of the excellent information! One more question and I'll leave you alone (lol): Did you do the contract for tuition? I heard that even if you do that, another hospital can actually buy out that contract. Is that true?

WOW! Thanks so much for the information. I'm really terrified now. I'm a 35 y.o. single mother of 2 boys (9 & 13). Can you tell me more about the "type" of students that actually completed the program? i.e. age, etc. What was the typical schedule like per week? And, how was the employment outlook/salary? Thanks again!

Hi. I am very interested in the accelerated ASN program at Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge. Can anyone give me any information on this program? I've seen the information that is available online. However, I am looking for information from experienced insiders such as: getting accepted, true level of difficulty, etc. This will be a major career change for me, and I do not want to make a bad decision. I have a 3.6 gpa from SLU w/ AA in OSH and BA in Gen Studies. I consider myself a capable, hard working student but all I have heard is HORROR stories. Thanks!

Hi. I will be applying to the acclererated ASN-BR campus for Fall 2010. Any tips/information about the program from current students or past grads? Thanks!
