Hello RNs, I have a question regarding comment my current boss made. I am currently a nursing student and graduate soon. I have worked as a nursing assistant and various other jobs on my unit for about a year and a half. My boss has already said I h...

Thank you all so much for our advice. I appreciate the support and honesty from everyone. I should have mentioned that I plan on signing on not as a full-time or part-time employee, but PRN- we get great benefits through my husbands career. I wonder ...

Hey- i am hoping to get some advice. I found out today I am moving to Augusta, GA. I am currently a nursing student at LSU and need to transfer schools. I saw there are two BSN programs there- Georgia Health Science University and Augusta State Univ...

Thank you both for the information- it was VERY helpful. However, because of the merger it looks the transfer requirements are the same now since I would be starting next Spring (since I have missed both deadlines for transfer applications)- and as o...

Thank you so much for your input- that is very good to know. I will call them on Monday to see how I should go about transferring. I am so glad you told me all of that!

Does anyone know our official start day next semester. I am trying to figure some vacation dates out--- Also has anyone been able to reach anybody about finding out the dates for our Advising Sessions dates, etc?? Thanks in advance!

Oh Heck Yeah!!! I am a LSU TIGER NURSE !!!!! Congrats to everyone else who received their letter!!!

I just started thinking about doing that this weekend-- but I do not want to put a negative jinx on myself just yet

Oh My Lord--- I CANNOT take this waiting game anymore. I have no fingernails left (bad habit I know) and I cannot concentrate on any of my current school work. Ahhhhhh.....

Okay-- So I know that the written statement is worth 20% of the application points (from grading rubric) and if the interview is 30%, then I would assume the last 50% is a combination of your gpa and hesi exam score. Since the hesi included A&P,...

I actually thought the whole thing was pretty much a breeze. I got there early so I was taken up early. The girls I interviewed with were super nice and so was the professor. I was not caught off guard by any of the questions-- they were what I was ...

Ok Y'all... I just called the school to ask about the formality of the interviews. The lady said that it is not formal and is considered casual dress. I hope this helps all of you struggling with wardrobe decisions like myself. GO SAINTS!

I believe that we are astros31

I was think a casual dress with a cardigan or something-- but defiantly a work look... not a silly question at all, I have been looking online already for an outfit :)!

nix.... I AM SURE that your score is just fine! I scored a 90 and feel pretty confident with that because I have a high GPA. I would not worry at all! I am more concerned about the interview than anything- and of course I hope they liked my written s...

I would assume anything higher than our class average, which seemed to fluctuate between 77 and 80 each time I checked it

thanks for the information on the GPA and HESI scores-- that made the knots in my stomach drop down a level!

So I finally got my call for an interview today-- now I can breathe! Interestingly it is also on September 18th like everyone else. When I spoke with the lady she said that the interviews is going from 9-3 and will be scheduled in thirty minute incre...

Sarjan1, still waiting here, but I did notice that my admissions application check was deposited by LSU so hopefully that means my application has been reviewed-- but that is probably just wishful thinking

Hey Astros31-- I was told that we should start hearing about interviews starting in early-to-mid September, so soon!!! The way that the process was explained to me that was after the board reviews all applications they will begin inviting only the qu...

Thanks whodat89!!!! It sounds a lot like what we wrote about in the written statement. But that last one about explaining a time about overcoming racial/ social adversity in school is tough. Thanks again for the heads up so I have time to ponder over...

Thanks Superanxious! That was very helpful!! Sarjan-- I was told by one of the advisors that we will be contacted for interviews starting in September. Time is going to go by so SLOW this next month, I'm sure...

Hey everyone-- So I just turned in my application this afternoon to start the Spring 2011 BSN program. I read other posts that said it will probably take a month+ to hear if we have been accepted for an interview. However, I am more concerned about t...
