Advice needed.

I'm confused....wouldn't you have to retake the classes if you go to Brown Mackie or ITT Tech? Are you saying they might not require grades as high as IvyTech requires?

Yes you should go see a counselor! You don't have to do what they say, but they can give you information that might help you with your decision.

Nursing is physically challenging too, by the way.

I'm sorry for the confusion. I'm not saying Nursing isn't physical. I just know where I work, its very physical for the aides as compared to what the nurses do. Some help, some don't. I can only speak from my expierences and how it goes at the facility I work at..

I will need to see a counselor.I was also looking for opinions on Brown Mackie and ITT Tech guess I should have made that more clear.

I believe both Brown Mackie and ITT Tech cost alot more than Ivy Tech costs, unless you get financial aid of course. Where I live, we have all three schools and Ivy Tech has a better reputation. You might want to see which ones are accredited. That matters.

I can say that I have been in your shoes. I've been taking pre and co req's for the LPN-ASN program for going on three very long years. I finally took my teas last minute and applied this year. I was very suprised to get that acceptance letter...but all the stress, I believe has prepared me for what's to come. Nursing school will not be any easier. You never know until you try. Re-taking classes at Ivy is cheaper and smarter than risking going to an expensive and unaccredited/ unrespected school, IMO. Talk to a counselor...get the co-req's out of the way(most of them transfer anyway) and re-take the pre req class that you have a C in and shoot for an A. Apply with two A's and two B's...you def will have a shot. Study for the teas on semester breaks...pick one day a week where you do that for a couple of hours. If you want something bad enough and it's meant to be, it will happen. Good Luck!
