U.S.A. Indiana

Published

This is the "Not In" thread, or for anyone that's planning on applying for Spring Semester by the Sept 1st deadline.

We need love too! :loveya:

My Boring Stats:

A's in prereq's except ANP 2...taking that class now.

Horribly embarrassing TEAS at 76, still have two more tries. (Which is why I'm taking math and phys sci this summer. lol)

Hope to get into the Bloomington or Terre Haute programs. (Yay! Greene county gets region pts at both. lol)

Currently frazzling myself out with 5 online classes :bugeyes:

It's nice to meet you....whoever you are....

Welcome and congrats Xyra! So did your acceptance letter include a list of stuff to get done? Ours from the Indy campus did not include any other information about what all has to be done.

Thank you! My letter actually came in a big yellow envelope, so I had a good feeling about it as soon as I got it out of the mailbox. I even opened it while I was still standing in the street, lol. They sent me my acceptance letter, a heatlh statement packet for my physician, and instructions for purchasing the background check and drug test. The acceptance letter included the due dates for the health statement, background check/drug test, and CPR card. It also stated the date of the orientation and included the email address for the nursing department chair so that we could email her of our intention to accept or deny admission.

I'm still anxious and excited about orientation. Ours isn't until November 18th, but I'm already counting down the days!

Awww man I wish we would have gotten a big packet like that! I want to know as much as I can now and get started on it all! I want to go buy scrubs LOL.

My letter didn't come as a big packet, either. It came in a regular sized envelope and just had the letter, a paper to fill out to accept or decline, and an envelope to mail the accept/decline notification back to the nursing department. So, thinking about it, my envelope was a little thicker, due to it having an empty envelope inside it. That should have been an indication that I was accepted. I imagine it would've just had a letter if I had not been accepted. I wasn't really thinking about all that when I first got it though!

Seriously Fort Wayne Campus, Seriously? This is driving my anxiety up. Its almost to the point that when I do get my letter, all the excitement will be gone. Grrrr....

Ok, I feel better now.

For those who wanted to know what you need to get done between acceptance and the start of nursing classes, the Indianapolis campus gives all that information at orientation. There are healthcare papers to fill out, background checks, information on the CPR class, etc. They expect you to have everything done before classes start in January. Last year we had an orientation day a few days before classes started, and we gave everything to them then. By the way, be sure that you are on time to your orientation on the 3rd because they take roll and they replace anyone who is not there.

On November 3rd, you will fill out registration forms and they will ask you to put your side of town down. However, I know a couple of people who lived on the southside and ended up at Community North. They said they simply can't accommodate everyone. I'm in Med Surg II this semester and live on the southside and go to St. Vincents. There are several of us who carpool.

Also, this year at least, the summer classes were not mandatory.

Thanks for the info jsksmon! How do they decide who gets what schedule? Do you get to tell them your first/second/third choice for the blocks? It looks like there are 4 options, with all the sections of the first semester classes having an A, B, C, or D letter designation in the section name, and all the A classes of 100, 101, 102 etc 'fit' together schedule wise, all the Bs fit together, etc. Is that how it works?

We didn't get to tell them our preference for times. They picked those out for us. You'll be in a class of 30 for lecture and lab, and then a group of 10 for clinicals. And yes, I think the A's, B's, C's and D's each fit together in a block.

Hey, thanks for the info. I was wondering if you could tell us what vaccines we have to get. I know that this will be the most time consuming for me. I want to get a head start on them, but I don't want to get any that are not needed.

You can start; however, there are forms that need to be signed by the healthcare provider when you get the vaccines, and those forms are passed out at orientation. When I got accepted, I scheduled my doctor's appointment for the day after orientation, and I had plenty of time. You'll need the Hep B, two-step TB, and proof that you are immune against chicken pox, measles, and mumps. My doctor did a titer, but it is expensive, so, if you received those vaccines, you should try to find those records. I can't remember if there was anything else. The flu shot was not mandatory last year. We got an e-mail advising us that it would be best for us to get the H1N1, but that is not mandatory either.
