"I hope you brought enough for the rest of us"

Hi Kitty: I replied to your post today. I am currently at Charity. I am not an LPN but I know people who are and all of them went back to school for RN. You said that you don't work right now. There is a big gap in cost of tuition between the two schools. You are already at Delgado which I think may help you being an applicant. Have you looked at part-time jobs? How about trying to work in a pharmacy or a hospital? Some places will work with your schedule and you could work every other weekend or a few days a week. In the long run it is your decision but you will have more options as an RN than LPN. Both schools are good but it's your choice of RN in 2 yrs or BSN in 3 yrs. Remember there are online BSN options too after Charity. Or just apply to both schools and then make a decision. Just trying to help. Good luck.

Hi. Thanks for inquiring. I ended up going to Delgado-Charity School of Nursing. It would be better to ask someone on the Louisiana forums about the CARE program. Good luck to you.

Hi everyone. I just heard recently about LSU School of Nursing in New Orleans having a CARE 2yr RN program where you get a BSN in 2 years. I have sent an email to the person on their website and haven't heard anything. I just have questions about the pre-reqs which if I'm missing I could take in the summer and fall since I missed deadline for fall 07 semester. Is anyone on here in the program or know someone who is that could tell me what classes they took and what made their application competitive versus other students. My GPA is over a 3.0, which is the minimum requirement and I have a bachelors degree which I need as an applicant. Can somebody PM me or list their classes they had taken on here who was actually accepted? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm applying to Nunez's LPN program also and if anyone has insight on that too, that would be great. Sheree
