Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

Published

Is there anyone else out there, or is it just me? :)

I'd love to connect with others who are applying for the Fall 2017 nursing program.

I am signed up to complete my prerequisites in the spring. English and Public Speaking are already done with an A, from a prior degree with Ivy Tech. They are also going to waive the IVY112 class because I am an Ivy Tech grad.

So I am signed up for APHY101, MATH123, PSYC101, and SOC111.

On one hand, I can't wait for classes to start! On the other hand, with the Holidays, I know the time is going to fly by.

I have the TEAS study guide from Amazon (ATI TEAS Secrets Study Guide: TEAS 6 Complete Study Manual, Full-Length Practice Tests, Review Video Tutorials for the Test of Essential Academic Skills, Sixth Edition: 9781516703838: Medicine & Health Science Books @ Amazon.com) and I am studying it and looking through the first practice test. So far, so good! Lots of info there to cover. Will keep me busy, for sure.

About me: My degree is in Business Administration and my work history is mostly in accounting, but I've been home with our 3 boys for the past 16 years. We have homeschooled for the past seven years. They all went to public school this year, and they are doing GREAT! Now I need a new direction, as well... I've got maybe 30 years of working ahead of me, and I want to have a solid career. I hated being stuck at a desk. Nursing ~ here we go!

The wait is the worst part. Thanks for the compliment 37changes. I will do what I can to help, but I will be in my shoes soon enough for sure getting first hand abuse from the program. Lol

I'd choke before I got the bill down. Most of my hats are wool too so I'd need a lot of water. Ha.

Hello everyone! I just joined allnurses today and I've been searching for other Ivy Tech Fall 2017 hopefuls!

I applied to Bloomington with a total score of 145. 85 on my TEAS and 60/60 on my pre reqs.

I'm nervous. Very, very nervous!

Thank you very much! Your score is very competitive as well based on the research I've done, so you have a really good chance! I know it's only been a day since the application deadline passed, but I'm so ready for the email/letter.

U guys are in. I think they overhype the process a bit. Those scores are solid. With anything 150 it's a done deal. 140's seems like an 80% chance or more. I feel like most people I talk to had mid 130's-140.

Hey guys! I've applied for the fall and I have a question. Any idea when we're supposed to hear back about our applications? I'm freaking out like nobody's business up in here, and I have to know. I have received some mixed information from place to place, so I'm curious. Anyone know when?
