Ivy Tech - 2nd year ASN schedule?

U.S.A. Indiana

Published

I'm hoping to be accepted to the LPN to ASN mobility program at Ivy Tech. So basically I'll take a course that covers the role of the RN and in-depth assessment skills, then I'll be thrown in with the regular RN students for the last year (two semesters).

Each of the last two semesters will be 7 credits. The program director said that the last two semesters are five days per week. How can that be? When I did the LPN program at Ivy Tech, I went 5 days/week, but I took 14 credits per semester. I now have all my general ed coreqs done, so I should only have the actual nursing courses.

Any 2nd year Ivy Tech students out there able to clarify this for me? What are your schedules?

Thanks!!

What campus are you asking about?

At Indy I am not aware of any schedules being 5 day/wk during any semester.

At the Lafayette campus, or possibly Valpo, depending on which (if any) I get accepted to.

Specializes in MICU - CCRN, IR, Vascular Surgery.

I'm at the Bloomington campus. For the semester where you have Complex Med Surg + clinical, it's class one day, clinical for 12 hours another day.

For the semester with Complex Family + clinical, and Psych + clinical, it's 1 day with both lectures, 1 day of Complex family clinical, 2 days a week of Psych clinical (partial days) and even then, I've heard that you won't have Psych clinical every week.

Hello! I graduated from Ivy Tech (indy) ASN program, the first year was the busiest. I think we were in school for 4 days the first 8 weeks, and then 3 the last 8 weeks....the second semester was extremely difficult, I think it was 3 days a week, but the paperwork and studying took me the rest of the 4 days of the week! There were nights I didn't sleep because I'd be afraid I'd oversleep (as I was extremely sleep deprived!!!) or that I didn't study enough!...the last year was a piece of cake! Psychiatrics required the least amount of my time...I think it was 2 days a week, (1 lecture, 1 clinical).

RosyFaith--that's welcome news to hear, I have Psych starting in 2 wks so it will be nice to have a little break!!!

Kokomo is MS3 lecture and Psyc lecture on same day, 12 hr MS3 clinical the next day and 6 hour Psyc clinical the following day....sleep,whats that?
