1. Any new ASN IVY Tech Fort Wayne students?

   ErinRena replied to BigT's topic in Indiana

   I heard by word of mouth (reliable word of mouth) that the cut off for my group (we started in January) was 185 points. That is much lower than normal. I had well over 200 points when I applied and got in easy... I would recommend shooting as close ...

   I managed to knock a lot of money off of books through Amazon. And YES you will use all of them! And they are books you will most likely keep and will be useful to you in your career, so don't feel like they are a total waste of money...like you will...

4. Fat nurses?

   ErinRena posted a topic in General Students

   A month ago I stood with pre-nursing students still in their pre-reqs and watched as many nursing students walked by in their scrubs. A particularly outspoken woman said, very loudly, that she could not believe how "fat" our nursing students are, and...

   I can not figure out why Ivy Tech Fort Wayne sounds so much different than the other Ivy Tech campuses. I hear that other students need a lot less books, a lot less worry about being accepted (hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of people apply here...

    I have not bought my books yet either! About $1200 for the 17 books we will need for first semester here at Ivy Tech Fort Wayne! Ridiculous for someone who is only 20 and has no help - no financial aid, no student loans. Hope we get them soon!:balloo...

13. Littmann Classic II vs. Master Classic II

    ErinRena replied to ErinRena's topic in General Students

    Hm, thank you! I had never thought of that. I have e-mailed my nursing director and asked her about it... So pressure scopes are more difficult to use? Pressure scopes are advertised as being a step up from the manual scopes... Even more confusion

14. Littmann Classic II vs. Master Classic II

    ErinRena posted a topic in General Students

    I need help deciding between these two, then I'm ordering one asap! I wonder - how does the simple variations of pressure on the Master Classic work versus the standard turning over the bell of the plain Classic? I like the idea of not having to man...

    ErinRena replied to LMRN10's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much for the kind words! Hearing things like that really help give me more confidence and let me feel more excited than nervous. I definitely know the..."terrified to put it all into practice" feeling! I am sure we will both do great. T...
