1. Waiting on an Authorization to test

   EmilysMama replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Students

   I called my state board of nursing, who checked the computer and "something just got lost somewhere". She marked me eligible in the comptuer and in 30 minutes I had my ATT. Good Luck!

2. Question about getting into Ivy Tech timeline?

   EmilysMama replied to blskinner13's topic in Indiana

   I would take care of any and all of your co-reqs before the program. You can't take any in the last semester, and the first is just freaking crash course disaster-ish, so just get them out of the way. Having said that, the application may be due by S...

3. new program at ivy tech

   EmilysMama replied to shana0's topic in General Students

   You need APHY 101 to get the points to get in, and you can take 102 while in the program. I'm 2nd semester and currently taking advanced physio while also doing nursing classes. I will tell you that if you can AT ALL take your co reqs first do them t...

4. Ivy Tech Book Importance

   EmilysMama replied to HolisticASN's topic in Indiana

   I'm an IVT nursing student and we use all of our books, some people use them more than others. I would buy what they tell you and then use them to understand the concepts. You will pass tests just following the powerpoints and such, but having a firm...

5. Getting to the gym?????????

   EmilysMama replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you take one hour out of one day to go to the gym you will be better for it. I used to go 4 or 5 times a week for 2 or 3 hours a day but I just can't, mostly because classes take up time. But I DO have Monday and Tuesday off, so I go those days an...

6. Ivytech application deadline september 1, 2014

   EmilysMama replied to beatrizcastro's topic in Indiana

   Tip for IVT.. if the deadline for letters is May 31.. plan on getting your letter June 1st. My letter wasn't sent out till the DEAD LAST DAY. The wait was awful. I start on the 27th though, I made it!! Good luck :)

7. Can i ever become a nurse?

   EmilysMama replied to Dallanah's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When I first started this journey, I jumped in with both feet and wasn't completely prepared. Long story short, my kid got sick and I had to withdraw. Well I didn't but I thought I had to because my type A personality said that If I have perfect atte...

8. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

   EmilysMama replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

   I have the Littman Classic II SE in black with smoke finish. The bell is engraved. I justified the purchase because I use it at home as well as for school. It will get plenty of love. I may upgrade for a graduation present.

9. Do you really need a laptop for nursing school?

   EmilysMama replied to xiomara17's topic in General Students

   I have a laptop for class and almost never use it during class. I like that it's portable so that you can work on papers next to everywhere, but when it came to notes and stuff hand wrote stuff down. Having to think to write the words sealed stuff be...

10. What backpack do you use?

    EmilysMama replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    I have a Jansport and I love it It holds a TON of stuff, BUT if you need laptop space and it's bigger than 15 inches.. it's a feat to get it in there. I am looking at the UA backpacks, but people tend to love them or hate them.. so for right now I'll...

11. Afraid of starting nursing Pre reqs

    EmilysMama replied to JPickett's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Normal to be nervous. One day at a time. Fortunately the first days of class are all about sylabusses (lol) an rules. It helps to break down barriers. I really enjoyed the science classes. It was the gen ed stuff that I hated! By the way, 27 isn't to...

12. What do you guys think of Medtech College?

    EmilysMama replied to bethers10's topic in Indiana

    Schedule for who? Ivy Tech or Med Tech? Ivy Tech is in the process of streamlining their program. But you still need to take pre-req classes and for those you choose your schedule. Im not sure about Medtech.

    Our orientation is July 14. Lickity Split, soon as I got that letter I had my background and drug screening done, I've taken my BLS class and I just received word that my titres are good so I don't need anymore shots, so my physical is complete. Noth...

15. Is this a realistic course load?

    EmilysMama replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thats a course load. Some of those "busy" classes can be done over the summer. A&P has a lot of information you need to remember as it follows you forever and ever. If you are single and have a lot of study time go for it. If not.. I'd cut back a...
