    Most relevant/useful pre-nursing science class?

    perkinsflower replied to bardone's topic in General Students

    I had a semester in between when I finished with my prereqs and when I was scheduled to start nursing school, and I was attending a vocational community college at the time. So I spent a whole...

    Am I burnt out? What should I do?

    perkinsflower replied to NOLAgirl2's topic in General Students

    Nolagirl, from what you were describing I think you and I may go to the same school but I'm a semester or two behind you. If that's the case, I have to think this semester has been pretty hard on...

    LSU BSN Fall 2012 applicants

    perkinsflower replied to stellanoella's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    academicselfservice.lsuhsc.edu is the actual address for student self service (although it's dumb to give you the directions and then not tell you where to go from there...) but they haven't processed...

    perkinsflower replied to stellanoella's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    lsutigermmm, yes. it is a very good idea to get the book and start reading over the summer. Also, always look at the questions in the back of the chapter - a lot of clicker questions come from there....

    LSU BSN

    perkinsflower replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I saw the article. I'm keeping my fingers crossed too, but my sister is graduating from LSU on Friday and they told her during her first semester that they would be shutting down her program. I'm...

    LSU BSN

    perkinsflower replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I can't imagine them cutting the nursing program in New Orleans, considering nursing is the largest program at the downtown campus (larger than OT, PT, the med school, audiology, all of them). If...

    LSU BSN

    perkinsflower replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I don't get creeped out really easily. The only part that I think was a little hard for me personally to handle was in the last quarter when we started dissecting out the face. We kept the heads...

    LSU BSN

    perkinsflower replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Nope, they replaced the grade with the higher grade! I was in the same boat - I got into Charity but my heart was set on going to LSU and I'm so glad I go there instead (and nothing personal to any...

    I had to retake a class too, Kristen! Don't feel bad, just get it done so you can get in!!! :) If your loans will cover a minimum of six credits, why not just knock out the sociology too over the...

    LSU BSN

    perkinsflower replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Not really. I got to choose what day my anatomy lab was. But as far as physiology, it's a little less organized; lab is generally tuesday, and if there's a thursday component (which I think only...

    perkinsflower replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @KristenNola, yes. My cumulative was a 3.0, but when you go to LSU they only evaluate your GPA in your prereqs and carry that over into what counts toward your GPA at LSU. I wouldn't say that the...

    perkinsflower replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Hey Nylamama - Why not apply?! I am currently a first-year nursing student at LSU and I got in with a 3.7 (a 3.0 overall). I had a C on my transcript in required courses, but they only care about...

    perkinsflower replied to MsLeana's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Good luck, everybody! If you can believe it, my packet got lost in the mail and I had to call to get my paperwork from them, so I waited extra - I know how frustrated you guys must be! Fingers...

    BSN Moms/Students

    perkinsflower replied to Lola34's topic in General Students

    I'm not a mom but i'm a BSN student with a husband in school as well and an almost-full-time job so I can give you some input as to how I operate if that's any help... I'm in my first semester and I...

    Charity vs LSUHC

    perkinsflower replied to mshood03's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    LSU's program is three years, not four. But I absolutely agree with what kubana says, that you just have to find the right place for

    Charity vs LSUHC

    perkinsflower replied to mshood03's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I agree with scared88... also, I chose LSU because I took some classes at Delgado and while I learned some valuable things there, I was absolutely dying to get out of anything having to do with...

    What is your personal philosophy of nursing?

    perkinsflower replied to lcheinz36's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a first semester nursing student and I just had to write a paper on this; I agree with your frustration. It seems like you probably can't or shouldn't develop a nursing philosophy without actually...

    perkinsflower replied to MsLeana's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I got into CSN for spring and I think my profile score was 75, but I personally know at least two people that were deferred - they were told by Charity that their scores were good enough but Charity...

    Charity School of Nursing Help!

    perkinsflower replied to 2bnoobnurse321's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I don't think it's one of the required courses for the RN program, just one of the "strongly recommended" courses. I strongly recommend that if you want to get the best idea of what you have to do to...

    LSU BSN

    perkinsflower replied to mdv0731's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Most of my prerequisites were done at UNO with a few at Delgado. I've never attended LSU in BR. I've heard applicants from the LSU system get preference, but I think that has more to do with getting...
