Has anyone taken the PCCN test since the new exam launched on June 26, 2013? If so, are there any study materials that you recommend that are successful? I have the new PCCN test plan, but I can't seem to find older test plans to compare. Do you thi...

godlovesRNs, whenever you get enough posts to send private messages, send me one. I just finished the accelerated OLOL program at EJGH. I can answer some of your questions about the program if you'd like.

I applied to the accelerated nursing program at OLOL in Baton Rouge for fall 2010. I am patiently waiting for the committee to make their decision, but I'm getting anxious! Does anyone know when applicants for the BR campus should be expecting letter...

I've just finished the accelerated program at EJGH. I've heard different things about when the program was going to be turned into a BSN program. My best advice for you is to call the school and directly talk to someone in admissions or with one of t...

You can buy your uniforms at two places. 1. You can go to Baton Rouge and buy your uniforms in the main OLOL campus bookstore. All the shirts are already embroidered, so you can just walk in and buy it. 2. You can also buy your uniforms at Uniforms b...

Yes, I was one of the students. Good luck to you all! I know there was some confusion with the NCLEX book. The one that a lot of us use is the Lippincott Q&A NCLEX-RN book. It's just a book filled with questions about different body system disea...

I wore a nice shirt and jeans for my orientation. Make sure you wear a nice shirt because you're going to be taking your ID picture at orientation.

Hi everyone! Congratulations to everyone who have been accepted to the accelerated program. It's been a while! I was just skimming through some of the comments, and I saw that Fumanchuesday got to talk to someone who currently goes to OLOL at EJGH. ...

curiuoskaypee: I know how frustrating it is, but there is nothing you can do but wait and think positive. If not, you'll drive yourself crazy. If you get into the Tulane campus, I don't think you'll have to worry about finding a place to live. A lot ...

curiouskaypee, I am doing well! I am sure I'm not the first to tell you that this program is emotionally, physically, and psychologically draining! When I applied, my heart was set on the Baton Rouge campus; however, I didn't care which program I go...

I saw that you're all anxiously waiting for your letters, and I know that your anxiety levels are probably through the roof! I don't know if this is going to help you with your wait or not, but I got my letter from the Baton Rouge campus at the end o...

I agree with the previous posters. Depending on where you're planning on living when you move back to Louisiana, there are plenty of schools here for you to pick from! I've lived all over Louisiana, and here are some of the ones that I've heard of in...

We get about 12 days total this year!

curiousKayPee: I'm sorry, I don't know too much about WIA. I think the people who can give you the best advice are those who went through it and qualified for it. If I tried to give you advice, I would just misinform you. Maybe call the school's Fina...

curiousKayPee: I worked after I graduated from college, so I am using a lot of that money to pay for everything. I also qualified for student loans, so that’s helping too. My advice to you, if you want to take out a loan, is to fill out your ...

curiouskaypee: when you fill out your online application for the nursing program, there will be a pdf document attached somewhere in the application for you to print, fill out your personal information, and give them to whoever you want to wr...

Ebella615: I never really paid much attention to the key terms in the book. I am sure that some of them coincides the lecture materials. Know that just because information is taught from, for example, Chapter 10 does not mean that all of Chap...

To those of you starting at Tulane in January, I thought I'd give you an idea of what to expect from the program through what I've experienced so far from EJGH. The same set of teachers rotate between the EJGH and Tulane program, so the classes are p...

I'm planning on going to EJ as well. I have been doing a little bit of research to look for housing, but I haven't really found a place yet. Everything is ridiculously expensive! Have you found a place yet?

Thank you so much for the tip, kitti419! This is going to help me out tremendously if I can get some help!

Hey everyone. I've been away a few days!!! I just got back on and saw others post on WIA.......What is WIA?? I'm going to be paying for nursing school all by myself. I have a little saved up; however, I know that I am going to have an empty bank acco...

...I'm sort of terrified now from some of the posts about OLOL's accelerated program being unorganized, and I am hoping to start the accelerated program at EJGH in the fall!!! To those of you in the accelerated program now at EJGH, are the books tha...

myra985, don't be discouraged! You are obviously an intelligent student since you made 4 A's this semester. Just keep applying and I know you'll get in! I think that it's a good idea that you're going to call them to see what happened. If you can, tr...

myra985 and chiromom3, I got my letter from EJGH on May 15! The postmark said that they sent it out on May 14th! I hope that you both receive good news!

knelso6, i'm not sure where you're living, but before you take any courses, make sure you check with olol admissions office first to make sure that it transfers. from their equivalency sheet, the only intro to theology class that transfers to olol f...
