3. Question regarding Ivy Tech Nursing program

   jgtdolphin replied to hfullerCNA's topic in Indiana

   The wait list the other post is referring to is referred to the "Alternates". If someone who made it in the program decides not to take the spot, then the spot it offered to an alternate. Some refer to it as a wait list.

   jgtdolphin replied to nurseinthemakin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It can be frustrating. You have done so great, and would have totally gotten in at the CC around here. Don't give up. I am 36 and have always wanted to be a nurse, and had to give up college 15+ years ago. I finally am in a place to go back, and my o...

   jgtdolphin replied to Mama_Cashew's topic in Indiana

   I felt alittle overwhelmed. The cost is okay with me, because I know it is more than three times as much at other colleges. Still hurts to have to pay that much, but we've been preparing to spend it. I am getting overwhelmed with the vaccination reco...
