1. Ivy Tech Fall 2010 ~ Fort Wayne

   celticmoonwolf replied to mamacashew's topic in Indiana

   From what I have seen the RN scores were 215-202. I don't know what the cut off was for the LPN program. They say that Spring is usually easier to get into than the Fall, but with so many people applying I don't know if that's true anymore.

   I can't believe they won't accept your paperwork that says you've passed. Congrats on getting into the nursing program. I start at Ivy Tech next week too!

3. Pumping at Work???

   celticmoonwolf replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

   I'm going to guess since it's a family practice they would be supportive. Only you can know how often you need to pump. I'm sure if you explain it to them, they will accomodate you.

4. Private student loans

   celticmoonwolf replied to scottmack's topic in Male Students

   Private loans, like those from a bank, are based on your credit and ability to pay them back. Most people need a co-signer to get them. I wouldn't do it. I would look into scholarships first.

8. Is this too much?

   celticmoonwolf replied to celticmoonwolf's topic in General Students

   I'll be getting my ASN and it will take 2 years (expected date of completion May 2012). I only mentioned the MBA because I use it to teach. I know nursing is nothing like Business, but I think the fact I made it through an accelerated Masters progra...

9. Is this too much?

   celticmoonwolf replied to celticmoonwolf's topic in General Students

   I should also include I am married with 3 kids. But my kids are older (15, 13, 12) and my husband is extremely supportive! I think the fact that I have shorter class times will help. I know my Thursday will be insane, but like I said, if I don't h...

12. new job and pregnant?!?!

    celticmoonwolf replied to rntobe10's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure where you got 3 months from. You have to have worked at your place of employment for 12 months and at least 1,250 hours to qualify for FMLA.

13. I'm a current college student, and I would really love some advice from a nurse

    celticmoonwolf replied to borinick1492's topic in Career Support

    "4.4 GPA? Do you mean 3.4 or 4.0?" Being that they were in AP classes, it's extremely easy to get higher than a 4.0. Usually advance placement classes carry a higher point value.

14. what did you need your 1st day

    celticmoonwolf replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took my textbooks and stuff to take notes with. Especially A&P! My teacher hit the ground running and by the end of the first class I had a cramped hand and 15 pages of notes!

    I have a quick question, I hope someone can help with. My school uses Taylor's Fundamentals of Nursing 6th edition. While looking around on Amazon.com, I noticed there is a study guide that goes with this book. Would anyone recommend getting the s...
