Would someone please tell me the duties of an LPN in a hospital setting (L&D or LDRP)? Also, what is the average starting salary for an LPN working 3 12 hour hospital shifts in the New Orleans...
What is average pay for an LPN working in a hospital in the New Orleans/Northshore area? Do LPNs get shift diffs like RNs do, and if so how much extra is it for nights and weekends? I'm trying to...
Thanks for the response. I am starting the LPN program at Nunez in the spring; it's a year long. Salary matters, but experience matters more, KWIM? I think I want to work at Ocshner b/c it seems like...
The deadline is tomorrow. You need to have all of your pre-reqs completed and be enrolled in the required math course for the summer. Here is a link to the bulletin...
Nunez's LPN program has a new director, and she has totally redone the program (for the better). The program is only 12 months now and has more clinical time than classroom time, so more hands on...
I am (hopefully) entering into an LPN program in January. The program is 12 months long, and I plan to enroll in Excelsior as soon as I graduate. I had the initial intention of completing an ADN or...
I am applying to Southeastern for the spring 2012 entering class. My pre-requisite GPA is 3.612, and I'll be finishing up the last 12 pre-requisite hours at SELU in the fall. Is this a competitive GPA...
According to the school of nursing web page, if you have already started the 121/101, etc. sequence you are required to finish it. So yes, they should accept
Su, I think that the BSN at SELU may be the better choice for me. The last time I looked into SELU they held all of their clinicals in Baton Rouge, but now there are clinical sections in Hammond,...
My overall GPA is 3.51, and my CSN GPA is 3.41. I got 0 points b/c I dropped two courses in 2007 (Fine Arts and a Micro re-take b/c I got a C and was trying to get a higher grade). I got an 83 on the...

If the hospitals are not hiring then why do they have jobs posted? There is a particular hospital (on the northshore) who's job openings change regularly. I always thought that the posted positions...
I was told that if I am in my last semester of pre-reqs when I am applying, that I need to be enrolled at SLU. If I do not want to enroll at SLU for my last semester, then I need to wait until I am...
I regret not retaking the TEAS, I have no idea why I didn't! I think the cut off score depends on how many applicants there are vs. how many they can accept. From what I've read on here, everyone has...
Does anyone know what test will be replacing the TEAS at Charity? There's no info on their site yet, but I want to start studying. Fingers crossed that it's the
I think it's for the upcoming application cycle. The last TEAS dates on the schedule are at the beginning of March. I'm sure I'll be taking it b/c I think it's pretty unlikely that I'll be accepted...
I am waiting to get accepted into nursing school (hopefully January 2012), and in the mean-time I was thinking of doing some volunteering. As of right now, with zero experience in the nursing field, I...
Good luck everyone. They sent the letters for Fall 2011 3 weeks earlier than they usually do. Also, I was not accepted, and it seems like they send acceptance letters first, then the denial letters....
Thank you all for your responses. I called both my local hospital and Red Cross and left messages for their volunteer coordinators. For the hospital, I told them where I would prefer to be, but that I...
It is much easier that the TEAS. I took the HESI at BRCC last spring and I got a 93. I studied the study guide, but most of the information was very basic. I had not been enrolled in school for 4...
