Any LMU students?

LPMRN · Oct 31, 2007

Hey Future Nurse,

I'm currently in the LMU program. I'm at one of the smaller sites. Hope you get your letter soon. I know that can be very nerve racking waiting on an answer...

Let me know if you have any questions on the LMU program.

May 2008 can't get here quick enough!

Wheew! I was starting to think that I was the ONLy one!! :lol2:

I do actually have a question. I have been checking out there site, seeing what classes I will *hopefully* be taking. But I am kind of confused, what classes will I be taking in my 1st semester? Is it different depending on where you take your classes?

If I do get in, I will be taking my classes at St. Mary's Hospital in Knoxville!!

Talk to ya soon!!

Future Nurse,

Do you have all your pre req's taken? I know that the first nursing course is Nur 115. I'm going thru the LPN-RN route, so I didn't have to take 115. I have never been to the St Mary's campus. Let me know when you get your letter. Why did you choose LMU over Pellissippi or UT? Just curious...

~FutureNurse~ · Nov 2, 2007

Yes, I have ALL pre-reqs finished. I actually took all my pre-reqs at Pellissippi. I don't think my GPA is good enough for UT.

I am actually applying to Roane State CC, Walter's State CC and LMU. I like LMU because I can go to school at St. Mary's, which is less than 5 mintues from my house. I called the school today and they said they have not sent the letters out yet!! So, I am still waiting.

Do you have any complaints about LMU?

I'm an LMU grad, May '07. (It seems so long ago!) If you get accepted into the other schools, do consider them. They're a lot cheaper and I think the education would be just as good. I know Roane grads have great reputations and I have worked with some great WSCC grads, too. I have heard LMU might be close to probation because they're NCLEX pass rates are dropping. I haven't confirmed this rumor. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have. I have friends who took classes at the St. Mary's site.

My main complaint is the cost at LMU, and the program seemed disorganized at times. My instructors were great, but those above them seemed to make alot of last minute decisons on schedules and things like that. I sometimes wish that I would have went to a cheaper school.

~FutureNurse~ · Nov 6, 2007

Yea, I have heard that they are a little disorganized. I am also applying to Walters State for their Spring Program, but everyone I talk to there is really rude! They are not very friendly!!

I still haven't got a letter. They said the end of October we should know something, I called them on Friday and they said they would be sending the letters out "sometime this week"...so who knows??

It is a little pricey....but I just want to start Nursing school so bad at this point I just dont care about the cost!

Did you get your letter yet? Wishing you luck!!

~FutureNurse~ · Nov 23, 2007

No, I never got a letter so I called...and they said that I didn't get in..so I am just waiting on a letter from Walter's State now...

brendadoug · Nov 24, 2007

I am so sorry, hopefully LMU will come thru, keep us posted. I am applying to Roane, and LMU. Did you have to take a test? Did they give you any idea as to why you didnt get it

~FutureNurse~ · Nov 25, 2007

I had to take a TEAS exam for Roane State, but that is for Fall Admission..yea, my GPA isn't that great, that is why I didn't get in.
