Ivy tech LPN - RN Transition summer 2016

Published

I plan on applying to the LPN-RN transition for summer 2016. The deadline is feb1st. I've seen everyone make posts for it for every year except this year? Does that mean nobody is applying ??? Lol. Just wanted to know what grades / Teas score everyone got.

I had

APH101 A

ENGL A

PSYCH B

got a low TEAS score, planning on retaking it in a few days. Very nervous abt TEAS. Not sure how people are getting freaking 80's & 90's, but kudo's to you guys, seriously. I'm jealous..

Anyways, the majority of my corequisites are completed. I'm just one class from being done :)

Absolutely excited & ready!!! 2 days

Lol, we are too much for words right now. :) Counting down the days until orientation! Wait until we are counting down days until graduation! :roflmao:

Sooooo.. How did your orientation go???

I have mine next week. I already have my background check, drug screen, updated CPR, PE, 2 step PPD, and vaccine schedule all done. It's not too bad once you get started with it. CertifiedBackground is a pretty easy website to navigate.

It was exciting ! Im glad you have all your ducks in a row! We have until May13th. 10 days before school starts. I think i'll get started the week after this . We definetly are going to have to come out of pocket over $1000.................. Probably more than that to be honest. We have new uniforms, which we'll be the first class getting to wear them since the class starting in jan hasnt recieved them yet! Lol i think they r really cute, i havent decided if i prefer the old one ( white n green ) more yet . But the scrub shirt is $50 í ½í¸© Lol and we hve a new polo shirt for lab / class which is like $26. Lol ( @hislilnurse -- THEY BETTER HAVE OUR SHIRTS IN BEFORE WE START CLINICALS . I cant even imagine clinicals w/o a scrub shirt & pockets! Lol ).

all in all , nurse emmy , it was great. Very excited about our clinical spots! How was yours??

Haha!! I know, right?! I'm kinda freakin out about how much we have to pay out of pocket! Lord help me. :dead:

I messaged u bck :)

Mine isn't until Thursday this week. Why do you say out of pocket? Won't financial aid help cover some of the costs? I cannot believe you have to have a separate top for lab than clinicals. It should all be the same uniform (save some $$$).

I would get started on it all right away. Time slips away! Good luck. It's nice to know we are all in this together!

:banghead: My orientation isn't until April! I am hoping we don't have to pay too much out of pocket!! I already only recieve very very little from financial aid!!! You guys are making me nervous!

Had my orientation. It sounds like they have a pretty good plan for our class. I met some of my classmates. I knew a few from other classes. It's nice that we have a good mix of younger and older students. I am so ready to get May started :woot:

Hey for anyone whose already gotten startes on their certified profile-- how long until we get the email for our drug screen?

I registered and had to print proof that I had paid. I then took that to the Nursing Sec. who gave me the drug screen sheet to then take to another facility.

I will say certified profile is a bit frustrating with your vaccines, especially the flu one. I would get stuff uploaded or faxed to them asap.

Hello everyone. I've been MIA for a while, I did not get accepted to the Gary campus like I had hoped for. I was really down. Then 2 weeks ago I received a call from the Valpo campus to be on the wait list. Did not know there was a such thing. As of 1:45 today I was officially accepted and will be right along with you guys. I will have a personal one on one orientation next week. Can anyone fill me in on what I need to know. Do I need to do the 2 step TB or wait to do the second TB.
