   I got an acceptance letter from Northeast. I got in with a score of 151, if that helps.

2. Would a 75% NCLEX pass rate scare you away from a school?

   DreamCheetah replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The national average is 69.87%. https://www.ncsbn.org/Table_of_Pass_Rates_2015_%283%29.pdf That includes repeat test takers. Among first time students, it's about 85%. I would think twice about a school with a pass rate below average. However, if I h...

3. Dilemma: choosing between ADN vs ABSN

   DreamCheetah replied to koreanbraves's topic in ADN/BSN

   If it helps, I am in the exact same position as you. I got accepted into an ABSN program almost by accident. (Applied on the website, then they emailed me 2x a week for a month.) The cost for the ABSN was like $70k. If it's more than I will earn in 1...

4. Community College nursing classes

   DreamCheetah replied to Dgardella's topic in ADN/BSN

   Ok, I understand your confusion. But here's how it goes. Don't get too wrapped up in the credit total. Generally, it's about 60-70 credits for an ADN. But, as you've noticed, not all those credits come from the nursing program proper. The first thing...

   DreamCheetah replied to Hyrule812's topic in Indiana

   Gary's NCLEX pass rate has been in the dumps for the past two years. You can see for yourself here: PLA: Ivy Tech Community College - Gary According to this, they've decided to mandate faculty for tutoring sessions, have added a ton of "face-to-face"...

6. IvyTech Fall 2016

   DreamCheetah replied to Shauntil07's topic in Indiana

   Think about it from the Nursing programs' perspective. Their accreditation is dependent on one primary factor: NCLEX pass rate. If the school doesn't have a good pass rate, they don't get accreditation. They don't have accreditation, they can't be a ...

   DreamCheetah replied to Shauntil07's topic in Indiana

   Unfortunately, the TEAS is like the SAT. Your score is kinda your score. They generally don't improve all that much on retakes, though it does happen for some people. Ivy Tech knows this, which is why they only allow two exams in two years. If you're...

   We've got multiply threads up on ITCC for Fall 2016. Is there any way to get them condensed down to one? It would be easier than having 3.

10. Traffic convictions

    DreamCheetah replied to samanthakayemapes's topic in Indiana

    You should be fine so long as you're honest. The program I'm applying for excludes traffic convictions, but your license violation will come up in a background check. Be sure that that isn't the first time your program discovers it. Also, I probably ...

    DreamCheetah replied to Shauntil07's topic in Indiana

    I'm applying for Fall 16 admission this semester to Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Terre Haute, and Evansville. If the point system rounds, I'll be applying with 151/160pts. My adviser said I'd probably have my choice. Not sure where to go.
