Who dat say going to beat them Saints? NOT Da Bears

I had Ms. Schaff and Ms. Gauthier, both of whom were great. Ms. Schaff is at Select Speciality and Ms. Gauthier is at Oschner. I beleive there are a lot of good teachers on this level. Feel free to ask any questions.

Marlene, To answer some of your questions: Normally clinicals are 2 days per week amd lecture is 2 days per week. You pick up your patient usually on the day before your clinical day. Clinicals are graded on a satisfactory or unsat. scale. There is no numerical grade attached. Your numerical grade comes from lecture content. There are check offs that you need to complete as part of clinical experience in order to advance in the program. Some clinical locations other than in metairie and new orleans are: in St. Tammany and in St. Charles parish. I believe that is as far out as they go. I know a few people made the drive from the Houma area, but I am not sure what affect that has day after day. The classes are tough. I am not sure exactly how many people pass or fail each semester, but I do know that you can only drop or fail a class twice and then you cannot continue in the program. There is a wide variety of teacher personalities. I have had really great teachers, but I have also heard bad stories from other students. Any other questions just ask.

I am entering my 3rd semester in the fall and I like Charity. An entering class may be around 250 students, but then those numbers slowly drop down. It is very tough, but it produces great nurses.

I am at Charity now and some of the places where clinicals are being completed are: EJ, Oschner, Kenner, West Jeff, and some places on the Northshore.

Charity requires a score of min. score of 100. You can only take the test 2 times to try and make the score. it's similar to the ACT.

Hello everyone starting Charity next week. Are ya'll excited, or extremely nervous?
