how do you apply for prerequisites?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi there,

I 'm trying to figure out how to start the prerequisites at ivy tech indianapolis. I intend to do an Accelerated Nursing Program, hopefully at IUPUI. I didn't finish my school in USA, I'm not a native-speaker do I need TEOFL for prerequisites? ( I know I need TEOFL for nursing school, I just wouldn't want to hurry with that as the test is available only for 2 years and I'm not sure how long it will take me to get in the program). Any help in figuring all these out is much appreciate it. Thx!

Fall semester starts August 25th. I'm not sure about all of the Indianapolis campuses. I go to Anderson so I am not familiar.

I did my prereqs for IUPUI's accelerated BSN at Ivy Tech; I didn't have to do the accuplacer, b/c I already had a master's, but once I met with an advisor who waived the accuplacer, I was immediately able to register for classes. You may still be able to sign up for summer courses if you hurry. There were some summer courses offered over 8 weeks instead of the 10 for summer, and they started much later.

The last summer classes started June 9th. They usually allow a week late. So it is probably too late for summer. But honestly if you apply online it tells you everything you need to do. That is how I applied last summer. I actually applied and got everything done a week before classes started.

I've applied, but I decided to start only in spring, because I have a newborn, cries a lot and it would be harder to start now, I'm hoping she'll get better in a couple of months :)

I agree with you. I couldn't imagine starting school with a newborn!! I know how exhausted I was and I stayed at home. So just take your time. School will still be here when your baby gets a little older.
