  1. MedTech LPN/RN graduates

  2. Pay Scale for Flight Nurses?

    Hi Patty. I was very fortunate that I was given the opportunity to start a nurse based flight team for our NICU in Illinois. I graduated with an ASN and was working towards my BSN when I made the decision to join the team. I finished my BSN during th...
  3. NLNAC Spring 2011 Commission Actions. Wonder what happened.

    Most of the time it is due to not have fully qualified faculty. For example, adjuncts and full time faculty need to have a MSN. Not all schools do.
  4. Ivy Tech Fall 2011

    Aces13 - If you have any questions about this study, then you can contact the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, who is conducting the study and there has been press already about it. The simulation study they are involved in is with 9 othe...
  5. MedTech College

    I disagree...everyone can make a mistake, even pharmacy. Nurses need to know basic math. There are some situations where the nurse has to calculate the meds quickly. For example, a code or an emergency situation. Can't wait for pharmacy to calculate.
  6. New Ivy Tech RN/LPN students for Jan 2011

    Make sure to put your name somehow on your stethoscope..it sucks to lose your stethoscope especially if you spend a lot of money. There are times you have to put your stethoscope down and anyone can pick it up.
  7. ITT RN Program

    There is a lot more to accreditation than just the outcomes (NCLX pass rates). They look at how the program is organized, how students are being prepared in the courses, exams, etc. There is a whole list of standards the school needs to achieve. The ...
  8. Ivy Tech 'Fall 2010' Applicants

    It is obvious that many of you are very stressed. Ivy Tech has a very objective method to accept applicants. Having an interview would lead into subjectivity and is that a fair system? We would probably complain about that system also. Students are r...
  9. Scope of Practice / Nurse Practice Act

    Your workplace should have a policy on what an LPN can do. The Nurse practice act is very vague on the roles. http://www.in.gov/pla/files/ISBN_2008_EDITION.pdf see page 44.
  10. New ASN graduate seeking advice for further studies

    First, what is your long term goals? Will a BNS suffice or a MSN? Some hospitals don't reward for higher degree advance for the bedside nurse in terms of pay. There are many college out there that offer BSN and MSN programs. Just make sure to look at...
  11. Ivy Tech 'Fall 2010' Applicants

    If you are going to decline, do it early! That way someone else can get your spot. Do it before the orientation day. Congrats to all that have been accepted!
  12. MedTech College

    Here are the pass rates for anyone interested. Can't get information earlier than 2008. http://www.in.gov/pla/files/Current_Pass_Rates_-__PN_programs_January_2008_-_December_2008.pdf http://www.in.gov/pla/files/ASN_Passrates.pdf
  13. MedTech College

    I would have to agree with kgle. Ivy Tech does not conduct interviews for their nursing program. Which campus are you speaking of? Definitely not the Indianapolis campus. It is pretty cut and dry. The 4 required courses and the TEAS.
  14. Ivy Tech Indy Program- Ob and Peds

    Here are my thoughts - the lectures are provided to you in audio format prior to the class. So, I wouldn't believe everything you hear. Okay, so lectures aren't face to face, but I wouldn't say you're not lectured to, since you technically are. And t...
  15. Nanda nursing diagnosis for cephalohematoma

    A cephalohematoma means bleeding has already occurred in the scalp. The newborn is at a higher risk for developing jaundice. Risk for injury would be appropriate as would knowledge deficit. Actual NANDAs always come before Risk for NANDAs. Parents wo...
