  1. LSU School of Nursing SPRING 2014 :-)

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I live less than a mile away from the school. Hate to be so pessimistic but this happened to me last time, which probably means I got wait listed, AGAIN! I'm ok with that because at least I got into...

  2. LSU School of Nursing SPRING 2014 :-)

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I started to go with the flow of my acceptance to Charity and I am rather excited. I don't know if I will deny acceptance to Charity if I get accepted to LSU. Not a bad thing if I get into both, but I...

    @Skillz nah... I want what little air I have. Accelerated wouldn't be a good idea for me I'm just a tad bit obsessive and might make clinically insane. I have thought about it a few times. I'm eager...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @Isabelle49 can you elaborate a little more on this? I am currently struggling with this issue. I recently got my acceptance letter from Charity... waiting on LSU. I hear that Charity is a better...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Random tid bit... I applied to Charity as well and surprisingly there was an acceptance letter waiting for me in the mail this evening. The letter was dated September 19th. Now if LSU can get this...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I honestly don't think it is a question that they are given to ask, I think my interviewer was just presenting a challenge. But my reply was - It is actually beneficial to nurses because I think it...

  10. LSU School of Nursing SPRING 2014 :-)

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I hope we hear back end of October. I hate rushing to get things done. I'm sure we will have to submit/gather a few things before the semester starts. Trying to get everything done in a month (which...

  11. LSU School of Nursing SPRING 2014 :-)

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    My interview was about 15-20 minutes. As usual I started off a bit nervous but as it went on I was fine. They asked Why nursing? Why LSU? What/who is my support system? Towards the end my professor...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I'm scheduled for September 14th in the AM. They did give two options for interview times. When I interviewed for the fall they had interview dates in February and March so for those of you who...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Side bar... they cashed my check. I hate that I'm doing this yet again. Trying not to get too worked up about anything and go with the flow. If I remember correctly they should be doing calls for...

  16. LSU School of Nursing SPRING 2014 :-)

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I believe they go for the higher score. I also think that they look at the complete package. If there is any focus spent on specific grades it will probably be your sciences since nursing is a...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @WonderBread I think it's honorable what you are doing. My bf is a nurse and he loves it. Sometimes there are those stereotypes that come with nursing being a female dominant field but if it's what...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @gerbz that's correct. Females are not required by law to register only males lol and nonsense no such thing as a silly question. It's better to get it right on the first try instead of saying dang it...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @lguid I took both A&P I & II because a few other programs I am applying to require they be completed. That's the only way I can fulfill their requirements was if I took both. It's not...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @withlovejP pretty much what @Happy1634 said. No need for letter of recommendation. When I went to the information session last year they stressed the importance of making sure we have the 5 things...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @withlovejp I had an old professor help me with my personal statement. KISS method keep it short and sweet. You are trying to sell yourself in a few paragraphs. Not only that, they've never met you...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @CMB1 I don't think your HESI score is miserable enough to decrease your chances. My gpa was a 3.3 and HESI 88 I got wait listed so i'm reapplying. I think you have a pretty good chance. Submit a...

  23. LSU School of Nursing SPRING 2014 :-)

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @lguid you can search previous threads and everyone kinda throws their numbers out there - HESI scores, Pre req gpa, overall gpa etc. The amount they accept change every year but I do know that the...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    @hellonewyear I honestly don't know which class has more applicants. For this Fall 2013 application process I was wait listed. I eventually got a letter saying that all their spots were full (I guess...

    Chin05 replied to Chin05's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    The interview process wasn't that bad surprisingly. Know the schools core values etc. just so you don't seem like you're spitting in the wind. Over all I think if you are passionate enough and you...
