    KristenNola replied to KristenNola's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Hey pearlypearly, I took the Hesi once in May before Charity's application was due but I'm taking it again June 22nd. The first time I took it was right after finals and I hadn't studied at all. I...

  2. LSU BSN

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @kaitlynnrs91, I'm sure theres lots of programs in the state but definitely not in Neww Orleans. As a single mother I can't afford to travel to go to school. LSU is the only affordable BSN program in...

  3. How did you *know* your specialty and when?

    KristenNola replied to misscherie's topic in General Nursing

    @StephMom&RN, I haven't started nursing school yet so have not taken clinicals nor have I ever worked in a hospital, but I'm curious as to what turns you off to psych? I've heard a lot of people...

  6. How did you *know* your specialty and when?

    KristenNola replied to misscherie's topic in General Nursing

    @misscherie, I'm curious, I'm currently finishing pre-reqs and will hopefully be starting nursing school in the spring. I have not had any clinicals yet so I don't know what any unit would be like but...

    KristenNola replied to Shawnney's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    OMG, so I just re did my profile score and I don't know why I've been thinking its 75, I must have miscalculated it beofre but it turns out that I have an 85! So excited! So I'm hoping that after I...

  8. CHARITY SON Spring 2013

    KristenNola replied to Shawnney's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'm getting nervous! My profile score is 75 and I read that Fall's cutoff score was 75, but I'm nervous that possible budget cuts may raise the score. I don't feel as confident as I once did. I'm...

  9. Charity SON Fall 2012

    KristenNola replied to MsLeana's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I have a question, I noticed that some people got a letter saying that they are "conditionally accepted". What does this mean? Is that a waiting list? Or you are accepted if you finish a pre-requisite...

  10. LSU BSN

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    So, the good news is that I heard from somebody in the media that the nursing program will not be cut because LSU uses their most important program (nursing) as a tactic to get them to change and...

  11. LSU BSN

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Really, they told her that too? Well that makes me feel better, hopefully it's just a threat and it won't be placed into affect. Did they tell your sister every year that they would close the program?...

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    This is from http://www.lsusystem.edu/index.php/2012/05/15/lsu-flagship-medical-nursing-schools-threatened-by-budget-cuts/: What follows is a rundown of potential effects from the proposed budget...

  13. CHARITY SON Spring 2013

    KristenNola replied to Shawnney's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I was told by someone in Admissions in October as well. But it does say on their website middle of July. So I don't know, maybe they say October so people won't get upset when they're not received in...

  14. LSU BSN

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Has anybody heard about educational budget cuts on the news today? They say that LSU's funding has been cut so drastically they're considering cancelling some LSU programs including their nursing...

  15. LSU BSN

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Yes, same here. At first I was all about Charity, thinking that I would just do a bridge program to after getting an ADN to get a BSN, but slowly I kept leaning towards LSU and then I learned about...

  16. LSU BSN

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @Perkinsflower, did they replace the grade you got the second time with the grade you got the first time, or do they average the two graders? I actually looked in to taking both classes but I work...

  17. LSU BSN

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    So, I just found out that my pre-req GPA is 3.5 I thought it was 3.75 for pre-reqs. My cum is still 3.1 though. So now I'm really nervous. What's hurting me is that I have a C in English Comp 1. I'm...

  18. CHARITY SON Spring 2013

    KristenNola replied to Shawnney's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @mistiweedman, 75 was the minimum profile score for Fall 2012 applicants. The minimum score depends on the ratio of people that apply and how many they can admit. I've heard that generally spring...

  19. LSU BSN Fall 2012 applicants

    KristenNola replied to stellanoella's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I am curious to those that were accepted what your GPA and HESI score was. I'm applying for Spring and am really anxious to know if I have a shot. My cum GPA is 3.1 and my pre-req GPA is 3.5. I...

  20. CHARITY SON Spring 2013

    KristenNola replied to Shawnney's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @tired_of_waiting, I applied for Spring 2012 and was denied as well. I wasn't prepared at all, I hadn't even taken A&P 1 yet! At that time it wasn't a requirement to have A&P 1 completed. I...

  21. LSU BSN

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Wow, thanks! That helps a lot! I guess I'll take Abnormal at Delgado in the fall in hopes that I get in to LSU. I have already taken A&P 1 and 2. But I really want to do the cadaver lab, that was...

  22. LSU BSN

    KristenNola replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @perkinsflower , was 3.7 your GPA for your required nursing pre-reqs? Because my overall GPA is around a 3.1 but my pre-reqs are 3.75. I'm nervous that the overall will hurt me. I'm applying for...

  23. CHARITY SON Spring 2013

    KristenNola replied to Shawnney's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I haven't yet, but I plan on it. I'm taking the HESI on May 14. Tabby_24, what section of Micro are you taking? I'm taking Micro in the fall as well in the eveing. I'm deciding between taking either...
