I've heard that this is just Louisiana. I graduate in May and I'm worried about it all the time because I don't work in a hospital. It's even hard to get a CNA job, which I don't understand because I've seen a LOT of CNA's in my clinicals who are very unprofessional. Some of the recent graduates are going through this. One I know applied somewhere in TX just for curiousity and they called her back the next day.

Maybe talk to HR and see about joining a committee at your hospital, like a safety committee. That would be a good way to sort of network and meet other people at your hospital, AND have the chance to help make some changes.

I use a company called Student Assurance Services. It's an inexpensive supplemental/accidental insurance for college students provided through my schools health department and it is sufficient for the nursing program. I'm not sure of the exact website but you should be able to pull it up through google. Good luck in the nursing program!!!

This is a question on my operating room prep sheet and I'm a little confused!

I'm sorry I can't advise you but I just registered for NAC I and already feeling the anxiety/losing sleep!!! Best of luck to you!

I definitely recommend the Fundamentals of nursing book. You don't need the ethics book. I'm almost finished with Basics and I've never used it. You also don't need the pharm book. I did find it helpful for calculations, there are some good examples in the text book but thats it, the tests are from the notes she gives. You can check out nursing diagnosis and clinical skills books from the library, thats what I do because $$$ is really tight for me this semester. I have the fundamentals of success book but I only glanced through it at the beginning of the semester and I am passing just fine. It does have helpful test taking skills and NCLEX questions. I just study my behind off and tell other people about what I am learning. Everyone is different. You can get your nurse pack at the dcc bookstore.. You will be fine. They scare the crap out of you in the beginning. Just stay on top of it and know your priorities. Put school first, know that you really want to be a good nurse and you will do fine.

I just got my letter in the mail for fall 2010!!!!! Hope to see you there!!!!!!

Thank you!!!! Best of luck to you, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know someone who works in the admissions department. Letters go out in 2-3 weeks. 180 people have been chosen out of 500 something applicants.

I'm psyched!

I applied for fall 2010!!! I made a 78 on TEAS and have a 3.1 GPA so I'm doubtful that I will get in, but we'll see!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

I love this website! It's so inspiring! I'm just a nursing school hopeful but I get on allnurses everyday! Just wanted to say! Have a nice day and remember that God will never give you more than you can handle!

I'm a nursing student hopeful, attending Delgado. I only have my A&P's and Microbiology left to take. My GPA is at 3.2. I went to Delgado right out of highschool, took some time off and transferred to University of Southern Mississippi and went for 2 semesters. Now I'm back at Delgado and preparing to apply to Charity. My problem is that USM has a hold my on records until I pay them a remaining balance. Its going to take me awhile to save the $$, and I don't need those credits anyway. Is there anyway to work this out with Charity? Has anyone had a problem like this before? How will they know I've attended USM. I'd hate to have to wait any longer to get my life going. I appreciate all responses! Thank You!
