Good luck!

Awesome that you're applying again! Hope I get to see you next fall! Physio is kicking my butt wouldn't change it for anything though. Good luck!

@Kroth613 thanks for all the info! These are some very good tips.

A lot a lot of info for orientation. But like they reiterated, it can be done, they all did it! We can as well let's get focused 3 years to go!

Hey folks.... an awesome classmate made a Facebook page (not sure if I can put his name on here but he sent everyone an email). Here's the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/593327070733471/

Just the prerequisites. If you try to do anything else the school may not accept them and you'll have to retake them. But best advice is to go to one of their information sessions and maybe set up a meeting with an advisor and they can tell you exactly what you need to do. Hope that helps, good luck!

Orientation in a week! Anyone else excited? Or is it just me?

I did...I guess now just wait until orientation. Have to get my physical and shots, but nothing else I can do until then lol. The folks who were waiting for letters did anyone hear anything back from the school?

@yzhang27 I think we are talking about the same thing. If we haven't heard anything from them regarding our emails to notify them by November the 8th. So hopefully we here something tomorrow because I def haven't yet lol

Prevention.... I don't believe in popping pills and getting cut open for every single thing. What are changes that you can suggest or do for a patient that will not only better them but myself as well.I think nurses are the face and voice of patients, I'm use to being the under dog and having to stand up for not only myself but for others, I accept any challenge with open arms.My BFF has sickle cell. Spent most of my college years making sure she was getting the best care when we had to wait for her family to get into town.

No clue! But I'm giving them until Friday before I start asking questions. That's also the deadline for us to have our emails set up. Side bar.... I can't wait to meet ya!

Actually there is no roll over application. You have to submit a brand new application. I had my personal statement edited and updated my work history and classes and resubmitted the application. Then the agonizing waiting period. First time I took the HESI it was a dreadful 75 or something, I worked overnight for like 3 days and my day job and after about 2 hours of sleep took it, not a brilliant idea on my end. I retook it a few months later and got a higher score. So try to change the things that you can control. I had mock interviews with my friends, even had my boss do a few with me. Good luck!

@gerbz thanks! I guess that makes sense. I need to take a chill pill right?! #firstyearissues smh

Do we have to wear uniforms? Random question I know...Is it too soon? Yes I am super anxious I know but orientation is just sooo far away! Lol

Thanks! Lol guess we're in for the long haul

Those of you guys who are unsure about why you haven't received your letter yet, give the school a call or send an email. You have nothing to lose at this point. I did it last time, it helped alleviate the anxiety a little. Praying you guys hear something soon! I know that feeling, I also know what it feels like to stalk the poor mail man smh.

Quick question for those who got acceptance letters...is our orientation December 16th or December 16th-18th? They didn't make it exactly clear. I need to make sure I request off the correct day(s) for work lol

The "New Student" tab on LSU's website was supposed to be updated this past Friday. It's now Tuesday...what gives LSU lol? Just venting a little. On the brighter side of things acceptance and deposit have been submitted

Final decision is LSU! I plan on going much further with my education. I really don't have much holding me back right now, no family, no kids and although its more money, the degree wil pay for itself in the long run. So I figured I might as well get it out the way all at once. Hope to be seeing/meeting some of you awesome folks soon!

Thanks!!! I wish you all the best as well! You're doing Charity right? I'm still debating. I'll make my final decision Monday. Never thought I'd be in this predicament!

@John26 I was wait listed for this past fall 2013. I never got off the wait list lol. But I did reapply for Spring and now I'm in. There is no way to tell where you are in line as far as the waiting period is goes, but let's just hope a spot opens up and you get in. Also I was a bit discouraged because I didn't get my letter when everyone else was posting about receiving theirs. I eventually got mine yesterday and I literally live within 5 minutes of the school. I checked the post mark on the envelope it wasn't stamped until Monday. So don't lose hope just yet!

I've already spent about $300 with the Charity process but it was an investment for my future. Right now with all the feed back from my family and friends who are all nurses it's best that I just go ahead and go to LSU. I will make my final decision sometime this weekend. Exciting but scared at the same time

HESI was a 88 gpa like 3.3 I want to say

I got in :)

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 Charity! :) Hopefully you all will hear something soon!!!
