Sure, I have one of those I'm willing to share if you PM me.

I'm a current LSUHSC student, just wanted to wish you guys good luck!

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 semester taking classes that I thought would help me in n...

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 everyone because of losing time with the hurricane and...

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 anything for the fall. If you go to the link that...

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. Find some good sources for MCQs, because those are...

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 cautiously optimistic :)

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 anything, I would guess it would (once again) just del...

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 covered until the very last block. When you don't see t...

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 Charity folks, I just went to LSU and knew it was th...

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 summer and let your loans cover the summer semester?

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 happened two or three times) you just show up on whiche...

Congratulations to all the new LSU SON students! Buckle up and get ready for physiology Good luck!!!

@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 first year is insanely hard. It's hard but it's manage...

Congratulations to all the new CSN nursing students (from one of the folks across the street )!

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 your grades on the classes you need to get in, and fr...

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 crossed!

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 am in class every morning, usually from 8 or 9 unt...

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 you.

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 Delgado's administrative merry-go-round. I recommend you...

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 being a nurse and being immersed in the practice ...

... I hopped online and did the compliance training, I remembered seeing it on here that people had to log on and do it so when I got my information for my LSUHSC email account I saw it and I went ahead and took care of it. But yes, I think we have t...

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 didn't have space for them so they would have to wa...

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 get into Charity, go to the Delgado website and re...

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 into the graduate nursing programs...
