1. Charity Hospital

   AlisonF replied to tracimom's topic in Louisiana

   I agree with that, do the accelerated program. The one at Tulane is actually for Our Lady of the Lake, they are in conjunction with Tulane. You only do one (very intense)year and they pay a stipend, the trade-off is when you are done, you have to w...

2. Charity Hospital

   AlisonF replied to tracimom's topic in Louisiana

   Gee wiz, where are you going to school? That is terrible that the instructors feel that way. I am also a LPN and at Southern University for my BSN but the instructors there are wonderful about my being a LPN, also the course work is not hard becaus...

3. questions about charity and study time

   AlisonF replied to kellipierce's topic in Louisiana

   I also want to add that there is a standard formula that colleges use as a guide to study time. For a three hours course you should study 2hrs per week but that is typically to obtain a "c" in the course. So if you have a 6 credit hour class, that ...

4. questions about charity and study time

   AlisonF replied to kellipierce's topic in Louisiana

   Congrats on your acceptance to charity. That is a difficult question to answer because everyone does not learn at the same pace. What may be easy for you to grasp, may require someone else more study time. I truly believe anything worth having is ...

5. Racism in nursing

   AlisonF replied to KCIN's topic in Activism

   A redneck is a white, person who typically lives in a rural area and is a bigot. They are typically violent towards non-whites and drive around with the dixie flag on their car or truck. Needless to say, we are full of them here in the deep south.

6. Racism in nursing

   AlisonF replied to KCIN's topic in Activism

   I too am a nurse in the deep south (the big easy) and as a black woman who is over forty and have had quite a few occupations before nursing, I can say that I personally have experienced more racism in nursing than any of my other occupations combine...

7. anyone applied to LE Fletcher???

   AlisonF replied to NikkiK77's topic in Louisiana

   Now, that's the thing because I have a friend who went in 2002 and they were not using the NET then. I also have a friend who went in 2003 who also did not need the NET to get in. They must have started using the NET as a part of the process in 2004...

8. anyone applied to LE Fletcher???

   AlisonF replied to NikkiK77's topic in Louisiana

   HI, I going to respond to you and MsCrecentCity here. First, all of my friends loved the experience at MGCCC. Some of them formed a car pool and drove together. They found the clinicals easy and in fact, relatively boring when compared to the char...

   AlisonF replied to NikkiK77's topic in Louisiana

   I don't know if you have checked out Charity's bridge program or not, but if you live in New Orleans, it is sitting right there in your back door. You already have the 136 on the pax and that seems to be the hurdle for most people. Just three semeste...

    AlisonF replied to kellipierce's topic in Louisiana

    My husband is a police officer at charity. From what I can gather the students (night) can use the garage. I know the officers patrol the area, and they have not had any incidents. They carry a gun, and I can't speak for the other officers but my h...

    AlisonF replied to MitchF's topic in Louisiana

    I am in Southern University's nursing program. I began last semester and from what I can gather, they take about 80 students a semester and the minimum gpa is 2.6. However, it is becoming very competitive and a good portion of the students on the c...
