Southeastern Louisiana University Accelerated Program

[KristinSheree]

Hi, I'm just curious if anyone has completed the accelerated nursing program at Southeastern Louisiana University. I will be applying for the January 2016 term and I'm worried I'm a little in over my head. Can anyone tell me what the course load is like? I have two children, 3.5 year old and a 9 month old. I don't have to work but I will be commuting from about an hour away. I do have relatives I plan to stay with a few nights a week in Hammond. I'm just starting be become really nervous now that it's becoming a reality soon. TIA

Hey Is anyone still around here? I got accepted into the program and I start in May. I am so nervous. Can someone please tell me how were the teachers and on scale of 1 to 10 how hard were clincals and the classess. Also can I have some study tips?

How hard your clinicals and classes are mostly depends one your teachers. Patho/Pharm is the most intense class you'll take before clinicals start and all the teachers for that definitely make sure that you know your stuff. Patho/Pharm and Med-surg were the hardest classes for me personally. I've always been good at math so dosage calculations was the easiest for me. As far as studying, pay attention to the powerpoint slides but jot down as much as you can from what the teachers says. Often I noticed they asked test questions about disease process or nursing interventions that related to a story they told. So many other people jot down what's on a powerpoint that if you make a study group, you could always get those notes later. Read the textbooks also. Nursing school was literally the only time I ever touched my textbooks. Hopefully this helps.
