Ivy Tech ASN program---> class schedule?

Published

what is a typical schedule for the ASN program. I have NO Idea.

anyone?

Congrats to you too!!! Nope sorry, my name is Amy. I'm at the Indy campus. Hmm, I had no idea you could even take the classes before the program start date. Did your letter say you would register for classes on the 25th? I wonder if it's possible at our campus. I'm not sure I'd be able to anyway because I'm taking Chem and already bought my books! Thank for the info though.

This is so exciting!!

At the Indy campus, you can not register for any classes prior to the start date. Your program chair will always register you for every semester, so you can't do it anyway.

Im not sure why it is different for every campus. My nursing director signed me up for the pharm course today when I asked if she could/would, yet I learned this information prior (taking pharm prior to scheduled start date) from other students currently in the program. This information was not made available by the nursing dept. I found out by chance. Not sure if I made the right decision as the course is half the time, but hoping it will lighten the load in the fall as I heard a couple of the courses are extremely hard as well as domestic reasons. We will all know very soon!! Let our stress begin....AGAIN!

pharmacology was HORRIBLY HARD at Valpo, I could not keep up or memorize half of what I needed in 16 weeks, so I cannot fathom 8! I had the understanding that they added the summer pharm for those that failed it last semester.

good luck!

and the first five weeks have fundamentals, the next eleven are med-surg.

I am greatly worried about pharm's level of difficulty. I have heard from others as well the class was torture. I wasnt sure what the best route was. I was hoping even though the course time was cut in half that it would be beneficial if it was my sole focus, instead of taking the longer route with other courses simutaneously. Time will tell...Ill have to keep you posted...I may be in hysterics by the first week...an overly active two year old that still does not sleep through the night nor naps for more than 45 minutes definately complicates things!!! Its back to the heroin look for me..yea!

Totally hear you on the 2 year old front!! Mine goes to bed late and doesn't nap either :banghead:

Best of luck in Pharm...I'm just expecting to be in over my head that first year - it'll all be worth it, right?

I'm with you all...got little kiddos also...AND i'm worried about Pharm. every person i have spoken too said that this class is really difficult. maybe I'll look and see if there is a pharmacology for dummies book and try to read it this summer.

S*T*R*E*S*S !!!

Pharm was a little difficult but not impossible. The instructor at the Lawrence campus is wonderful too so that always makes a class better for me.

Thanks Indymom4. I am very glad to hear that!!

Are clinicals one day a week?

Mine were 1 day for the first semester and two days for the second.

i don't know about everywhere else but in indy, your schedule is never final. they make considerations and changes right up until the week before classes. they change dates, times, instructors, and sites for clinical all the time. students are also allowed to trade with other students, which really messes things up. it's unfair.
