My acceptance letter in 2012 didn't come until November 29th for the Spring 2013 semester...which is after Thanksgiving. Not saying it will be the same for you, but I would arm yourselves with some patience for the time being.

Not sure if y'all already know this, but LSU is going through massive budget cuts and layoffs right now. The folks I work with at University Hospital are bracing themselves for what's to come...and it doesn't sound good. I bet the delay in letters h...

@Mie'sWay. I really am not sure yet. I'm eventually trying to go for Nurse Practitioner, so having a BSN will get me there faster. Also, doing the RN/BSN bridge with LSU would require me to return to Delgado yet again and take more classes, which ...

I went to the Noon session today and it definitely went longer than an hour! I parked on the street and paid for about an hour and a half...there were plenty of spaces when I went (and classes were in full swing). I called the school ahead of time ...
@tired_of_waiting My roommate is a Charity student currently and they got to choose from University Hospital, Ochsner Baptist, Ochsner Main, Touro, Kindred (which is a LTAC in Uptown near Touro) and EJGH for the Southshore
I'm going to the noon advising session this Thursday the 20th. I plan to bring my acceptance paperwork and some immunization records to see what else I need (I work in healthcare currently, so I have to keep all this stuff handy for access credentia...

@pearleypearley, I know a couple people who were accepted to and graduated from LSU Nursing with repeated pre-req. courses. I think it's one of those things where as long as you haven't failed any of the important science or math classes twice and h...
