    A few weeks ago before my interview I went crazy and took the time to go back through all the years of posts on this thread. After a couple hours of doing so, I came to the conclusion that every year...

    I don't have any backup schools either (eeek!). I'm specifically interested in attaining my BSN and the number of schools in the N.O. area that offer that are very limited. I know Dillard offers it...

    nolamor replied to altbsn2010's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'm sure every interview group was different, some may just have been less chatty than other groups. Don't take that as a sign that you didn't do well. What time did you interview? I'm sure they had...
