Hi,

They do have an Accelerated BSN program starting in July 2007. I just received an email from Karen Hoffman, program coordinator this week with the following information:

Applications will hopefully be accepted in December with notifications going out in March. Cost of the program is currently set at $31,499 for 63 credit hours of instruction. May be a bit more or less as final decisions are made. Pre-reqs should be completed by May if possible.

Good luck to all who apply.

Do you know if it is competitive to get into their traditional bsn program?

Sorry, I don't really know. You could probably call Karen & ask. She was very helpful when I talked to her.

Another option might be IU Kokomo. They are expanding their BSN program quite a bit (double?) next year because they are getting rid of their ASN program. Morris Starkey, nursing coordinator, is who you need to talk to at IUK. I have several friends in it. It is an excellent program & the cost is very reasonable. I would imagine competition wouldn't be as big an issue next year since they are expanding so much. Campus phone number is 765-453-2000.

Good luck to you.

The traditional program isn't competitive at all, all you have to do is maintain your GPA, I think you have to keep a 2.75 in your nursing classes.

I just spoke with Barbara Ihrke at IWU, and it is definitely true what Pinksi said. They have no waitlist and as long as you have A&P I and II, Micro, and Chem completed by May 31st, 2007. They will have a spot for you in the Fall. I was told they have no program limit.

Now, I have all other core classes including Chemistry completed. I have took an abbreviated version of A&P in both my MA and EMT diploma programs. I really want to start the nursing sequence in Fall,2007. Does anyone think I could take A&P I and II along with Micro? i know it would be hard, but I am a very bright student, and I am willing to do whatever takes. I would appreciate all feedback.

Have you thought about taking the CLEP test to get college credits for those classes? I would think that would be really easy but, you should probably check with the college before taking the test.. I know that people in the military use CLEP tests to get credits for college.. It would be worth checking out.. Ivy Tech use to offer Clep testing once a month and you had to pay a testing fee and you could only take 1 test at a time.. You can get books at barnes and noble book stores on the clep test.. Just an idea.. also there is a website that gives you the isbn numbers for the books to use to study for the subject that you want to take a test in.. http://www.istudysmart.com Hope this helps..

Is this a program for LPN transition or to BSN or is it open to anybody who has taken the pre-reqs?

I think anyone can take it.. I would just call and ask the college you are thinking about attending to see if they will accept the credits.. Also, it might be worth doing a search for more info on the clep tests..
