Waiting on Ivy Tech acceptance letters thread

Just called and they "hope to get the letters out by Friday."

It probably won't work.......but maybe you could call from a different # (or have someone else do it) ask to speak to the health coordinator's assistant. Then tell you you are going out of town, or some other important event, and you won't be back until after (guess at response date, but don't go too far ahead of that). Tell them you really want in, but don't want to miss your chance. (If they get hesitant, you could always ask that they call your cell, but then they have your info, and if they forget, you can't really call back)

If they won't do it, they don't know who you are.
If they will do it, you could always say plans changed.

And yes, I've spent a lot of my life waiting for information.......and trying to get around the rules.

(I asked nicely at TH, and they just TOLD me...you may not have to go through that mess)

Hey Blindmouse
Thanks so much for the reply! I know i want to be a nurse and i have some experience in the medical field. i work with autistic kids; passing meds, giving showers, doing daily vitals, working diligently on physical therapy...
i guess i was worried after i read that thread... it sounds like a lot of nurses actually hate it. i always second guess myself... but i am working on my confidence...
Thanks though and those dance girls really were just weird. after i left that school i stayed true to myself and joined the chorus at my next school.

good luck with spring!!!

I have doubts about going into nursing all the time. At this point I really am interested in L&D, PostPartum, or I could do women's health med/surg (like at the Women's Hospital). I often wonder how it will be to go through nursing school, if I can handle clinicals in all the areas that I am not interested in at all. . . I know it is possible to handle anything for the short term though. But yes, I have doubts a lot and some days I still can't really believe that I am actually going to apply in Sept. . . it's like I'm just 'pretending' that I'm going to right now, but to actually DO IT will be tough and scary for me. Of course, if I didn't apply to nursing school I honestly have NO IDEA what else I would do with myself, so I guess I will be doing it LOL.

Anyone taking Micro 201 online thru Terre Haute this summer (Melissa?), are you using the Micro book by Black 7th ed? Are there any other materials for the class, any lab kit or cds that come with the book or anything? I'm signed up to take it in the fall and have been looking around on ebay and craigslist already for the book but was wondering if there is anything else needed for the class. Thanks!

Hi csab,
Yes, that is the book. It has little walking satellite looking things on the front, which I'm sure are some kind of bacteria. There are no cds or lab kits or anything like that, just the book and that's it! Sorry if this is too late to be helpful!

Thanks Melissa! How do you like the class so far?

I like it but it's definitely challenging!!

Which schools have sent out the LPN acceptance letters already? Did most students apply to multiple schools, if so which ones? I've applied to Richmond and Muncie, but I have not heard anything yet.

Columbus said this morning (Monday, 6/15) that they "hope to get letters out today."
