1. Club LPN / Fall '05

   RN4Mommy replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Me, too. If it works out the way I want it to, I'll be an RN in the same amount of time it would've taken me had I went straight into the 2 year RN program. That doesn't actually start until next May ('06) and will end in May '08. The way I'm doing i...

2. Club LPN / Fall '05

   RN4Mommy replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Finally got my acceptance letter last week! :balloons: My orientation is June 14 and I cannot wait to get there. My best friend got in, too! I've been looking for all white athletic shoes but I've only found 2 pair and I didn't like them at all (...

3. PSB Test for the Practical Nursing program

   RN4Mommy replied to new_mom26's topic in Indiana

   I'm not sure if every Ivy Tech campus is the same but at my campus, we had to score in the 25th percentile or above in each category to be considered. I can't think of anything specific to tell you about the math because there were so many different...

4. NCLEX Review Book

   RN4Mommy replied to Rivs's topic in General Students

   There are NCLEX review books specifically for LPN's. I know Saunders and Mosbys have one, Lippincott, too, I think.

5. LPN school rules

   RN4Mommy replied to chachacha's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm not sure what all my school expects yet (starting in August) but I know they want *all* white shoes with absolutely no color. They said if they have a little blue heart or the brand of shoe written in a color on the side, you can use white out. ...

   RN4Mommy replied to EMTtoRN's topic in General Students

   That last statement is *so* true! Wow, it sounds like you are so ready with all the stuff you've gotten. I got my steth and bp cuff. I looked at shoes but haven't decided on any certain pair yet. We have to order uniforms from a certain supplier, so...

7. new students - what do you fear most?

   RN4Mommy replied to speedykicks's topic in General Students

   I usually do really well on tests, even though I do experience some anxiety beforehand but I've heard so many things about tests in nursing that I'm already anxious and nervous! Thanks for the suggestions!

8. new students - what do you fear most?

   RN4Mommy replied to speedykicks's topic in General Students

   I think the thing I fear most is failing. Not so much failing a test as much as failing and disappointing myself and my family who are so proud of me. As far as the thing I fear most in clinicals, that would have to be drawing blood/starting an IV...

    RN4Mommy replied to EMTtoRN's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much. I almost cried when I read your post. I'm just so happy to be where I am right now. I prayed and prayed about it because this is something I've wanted for a long time. I do worry about having time to study like I'll need to but dee...

    RN4Mommy replied to EMTtoRN's topic in General Students

    I should've add that to my list of things to do this summer, huh? (re: husband/laundry)! My kiddos are 3, 5, 8 & 9. They have been putting away their own folded laundry, which is a big help to me. I called today to ask for a few items that I'...

    RN4Mommy replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That's disappointing! My school only starts LPN in August. I got news from the Program Chair's office that I was the top scorer on the entrance test. I was also told by the Chair that they didn't have a list yet because there were some people whose G...

    RN4Mommy replied to EMTtoRN's topic in General Students

    I'm taking Chemistry this summer, Tues. & Thurs. nights. I thought about getting a pt job but I've got 4 kids, I've always been a stay-at-home mom and I really think I should just spend lots of time with them this summer. We'll probably go to the...

15. IVy Tech Students

    RN4Mommy replied to Curious0599's topic in Indiana

    Jennifer, thanks for the heads up. I've heard the uniforms are not that attractive, (sigh). I need to start looking for a stethoscope and shoes now. I'm not sure exactly how much tuition/books/uniform are but the more time there is for me to spread ...
