1. Marian University-Online Accelerated Program

   kjj007 replied to forgop's topic in Indiana

   Yeah there are many that get together for study groups. I have gotten together with other students to study, but I study much better on my own and then bouncing off questions to the other students. Many of the cohorts of classes start their own fac...

   kjj007 replied to forgop's topic in Indiana

   I am currently in my third semester in the Marian Accelerated Online Program. It is a lot of work, but I am glad of my choice for the online program. The clinical experiences have been great. The people that are in the program come from a diverse ...

   kjj007 replied to kjj007's topic in Indiana

   I just finished my first semester and this week just started my second. It is definitely possible to have a part time job, but you will probably feel overwhelmed even if you were not working. The first semester of nursing school is tough because yo...

   kjj007 replied to kjj007's topic in Indiana

   I was able to get some financial assistance, but may still need to get some private loans further on in the program. We start clinicals in two weeks. It should be fun. There are approximately 65 students in my class right now. We are the biggest ...

7. Any 2011 Marian ABSN applicants?

   kjj007 replied to kjj007's topic in Indiana

   I start clinicals in a couple of weeks. I was able to get some money through FASFA you may be able to too. I was able to quit my job in January to concentrate on prereqs so that helped. I took 22 credit hours in the spring and 17 this summer. It ...

   kjj007 replied to kjj007's topic in Indiana

   The tests were not too bad, but I did study quite a bit. You definitely have to know the material to do well. Anatomy is something that you are going to need to have a good grasp of in physiology and nursing classes. I got an A in Anatomy and in C...

   kjj007 replied to kjj007's topic in Indiana

   Chemistry and Anatomy were not too bad through Marian. Microbiology was the hardest. I took it during the summer through Ivy Tech and it is way too much information to go through in 10 weeks, but saved a lot of money going through Ivy Tech so in th...

    kjj007 replied to forgop's topic in Indiana

    I'm currently in the program at Marian. I quit my job in January 2011 to focus on prereqs and finishing my Masters full time. There are many people that have taken prereqs and worked full time with kids so it is possible. I took two of my science ...

14. RN versus LPN

    kjj007 replied to TGrider853's topic in Indiana

    Just from talking to other Ivy Tech applicants, the LPN program is something you would have to apply to separately from the RN program.

    kjj007 replied to forgop's topic in Indiana

    Hmmm, maybe there is a way where I could do the fall semester online and then start in the spring in the campus based program. If it's the same price that is something definitely to look into.
