Hello, I am a student from the new orleans area due to start Charity School of Nursing in January 06. Of course those plans have changed and I have relocated to the stafford tx area. This semester I was taking A & P 1 lecture and lab and I need t...

I already have my CPR card. I took a three week CNA class this summer because I needed to get over some patient fears. It worked and even if I never work as a nursing assistant, I will always see the experience I had at the nursing home as a great o...

Thanks for the info. Congrats on getting in!!:kiss Are you scared and excited at the same time like I am? I've already tried on uniforms but will not purchase until I get the information. My medical papers are in my chart at the doctor's office waiti...

I think Charity needs restructuring to fix the entrance process. The hardest part is waiting a year to enter, but I guess it gives you time to finish the prereqs. Despite the problems I do have to say this: I think Charity is fair in it's admissions...

I'm taking a&p 1 lecture online this semester and so far it seems like a good deal. I have the same teacher for lec and lab. Listen, ask questions until you get clarity. That's what advisors are for. THe packet from Charity tells you who you shou...

Spring 06 (next semester) notices have already went out. I had everything except pax in by the august 04 deadline and took the pax right after the deadline so I was only considered for the Spring semester. You wait approx. one year from the deadline ...

Oh yeah. On my budget I should ask them if I can get a "cute baby" or "good grades" discount.

NSO seems like the better company. :)

Did they tell you which insurance to get and from where? Is it from a place like this http://www.nso.com/index.php ? I'm just getting prepared for Spring 06 as much as I can. :)

University of Phoenix has an RN to BSN program only, not LPN to BSN. All states recognize recognize UOP degrees because they are an accredited university. Yes they are expensive, but you have to pay for the convenience of taking classes online. Also ...

Are there any current Charity School of Nursing Students out there who can tell me specifically what type of uniforms are needed? I heard there was a specific brand and type. I need to start looking for sources for uniforms because I am a large woman...

Hi!!! If you call admissions and ask for a packet, I swear to you that all of those questions will be answered. 5045686411 Classes are accepted twice per year, you have to take the PAX exam, there usually is a year long waiting list, the more prereq ...

Thank you...It's always strange how people you don't know can give you more support than your own family, but better the support of strangers then no support at all. With regards to Delgado, if you need help picking teachers, let me know, and if I h...

I just wanted to start a post to see if anyone has applied to Charity School of Nursing for Spring 06. Letters are supposed to be mailed at the end of June. If anyone has any info please let me know. I will do the same. :)

Charity and University Hospital are in desperate need of nurses of any kind. If you want something other than med surg, you will probably do better at University hispital, which is the sister campus of Charity. That's where the maternal-child cluster...

THANKS!!!:) This is exactly what I needed.

Thanks for the info. I just want to be prepared for this...This is a change of career for me and I have a lot riding on my success. Any heads-up is appreciated.

Thanks, when people say things like this, I get that extra nudge I need to press on. It isn't easy, but I know that I am on my way to finally having a career that will make me happy and give me a chance to make a mark on this world. You would be surp...

Woo hoo, I will see you there!!! :balloons: :uhoh21: :balloons: This has to be one of the most important times in my life! Maybe it wasn't meant for me to go to OLOLC.

It sounds like you have a plan. As long as you follow through you'll be ok. Just meet your deadlines for applying and stay on track. I'm starting/changing my career and I know that the wait to get into nursing school is worth it. Look at the choices ...

Day!! I have Mommy duty in the evenings. :)

OK I am currently doing prereqs at Delgado and going to University of Phoenix at the same time...my philosophy is to do as much in the daytime as possible. I like spending a couple of hours in the evening with my kids and I don't study well at night ...

My MBA is in health care management and my bs is in Management (Information Systems minor). I couldn't get any financial assistance so that is one of the reasons to get the MBA. So I take out student loans to pay for nursing school. I will finish the...

I was just accepted to Charity Spring 06 class. I have a BS degree and my gpa is a 3.4. I am also half-way finished with my MBA/HCM so I guess that played a part in getting in. OLOLC turned me down for the accelerated program in New Orleans, but I he...

I'm in!!! I started my hep shots in december so next week I am going to get the tb test. I am so excited!!
