Even tho we're at different campuses, I'm sure we'll be going thru similar things if you want to communicate! I have just finished all my health documents and am now waiting patiently for Aug 22! Ps Aren't the IU nursing scrubs really cute?!

my2girlskk. 17 Posts Jul 27, 2011 I was wanting to apply to IUK can you give me some information on how the program works there and did you fill out the online application?Sorry, I've been unable to log in to my account, so I had to create another one.By how the program works, are you asking about the application process? Well, first you have to be accepted as a student to iuk. )nce you're a student, you then need to meet with a nursing school advisor and they will let you know what you need to do. There are certain classes required to apply, and then even more required to start the program. You'll get your application online and then submit it by the deadline for the semester you want to start along with your background check and the teas 5. Do you have any pre reqs done yet? I took all mine at ivy tech as its cheaper and closer to my home. Let me know if I can help or answer any more questions.
alimasse 2 Posts Nov 16, 2011 Hello!I am a student at IU-Bloomington. After two years of trying to decide what degree to pursue, I have finally decided that I want to get into nursing. However, I will admit that my grades up to this point have not been competitive.I still have many of the prerequisites to complete, but as of now, I only have a 3.0 GPA. I believe that the admissions staff looks mainly upon the GPA of the nursing prerequisites over the cumulative GPA. Do any of you know if this is true? Also, what are some tips that you have for me? Thanks!

Thanks!Yes.. Admission is VERY competitive and alot of it is based on gpa. My overall gpa was a 3.95 when I applied with my "nursing" gpa being 3.8 on the application. All I can say to you is that you should meet with a nursing advisor and talk with her.. Also try your best to do awesome in finite and anatomy. They really look at the critical thinking classes.
