they use. They weigh the NET exam to the point that someone scoring 80th percentile on the NET, but who is a "B" student will probably be ranked higher than a 60th percentile "A' student. In addition, they give extra points for taking a certain number of your prerequisite courses there. If you can't get into Ivy Tech consider IU (pick the campus), Purdue, or Ball State. These schools do not use the NET (this would help someone with good grades, but you doesn't do as well on standardized tests).

Yes, I agree...I had heard when applying to ASN schools that to get your LPN first and then go into an LPN-to-ASN program was easier to get into, so I went that route. I applied to 4 different LPN to ASN programs and only got into 1, so I feel really lucky to even have gotten that spot. If someone tells you that getting your LPN first and then going into an LPN-to-RN program is easier to get into, it's not exactly true!

P.S... But...it is nice making about 75% of RN's pay AND getting great experience as an LPN! :)
