Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students

They do need to be taken in order but you have to take all your 300s before you can start 400s. Last semester I took 324, 318, and PE. This semester I'm taking 424, 450, and Comm 101 (you are supposed to take that before you are admitted to the program but I got an exception). Next semester I'm taking the last three courses: 470, 484 and whatever that other 400 level course is.

Yes you can do two with clinicals at the same time. ChelleLPN and I are taking 424 and 450 together. It's 180 hours plus 450 has a ridiculous amount of papers so plan on getting your butt kicked if you take them together. But it can be done. If you don't hear from ChelleLPN and I anymore after May it's because, well, we probably kicked over from stress or had a nervous breakdown. lol!

Dantes offers the equivalent but you have to do a 3-5 minute impromptu speech on whatever topic they give you and have 10 minutes to prepare. You speak it into a microphone and if you are even a second more or less than the time limits it's an automatic failure. WAY too much pressure for me. lol! I did it once, was short on time and failed it. So I'm taking it through Ivy Tech. It's actually pretty fun when you can prepare and choose the topic. We do videos and submit them through Google.
