IvyTech Fall 2016

Applied to lawrence, anderson & new castle RN & LPN programs with a 120/160.. hopefully that gets me in somewhere sucks because my TEAS could have been better. Goodluck

I applied to the Lawrence campus as well. I have 149/160, so I'm hoping that's good. I was reading posts from the class that started this spring and students were getting in with scores in the 120's!

I applied to Lawrence with a 149! I'm feeling pretty good, but don't want to get my hopes up!

Anyone know if a showing list for the first aemester....something we can, in hopes of being accepted, start pricing out? I won't buy anything without the letter but with 4 kids, I need to keep things on a budget here. :)

When I went to speak with an advisor at the Lawrence campus, they gave me a packet that had the cost breakdown. Let me see if I can find it for you!

The breakdown was for the total program.

Tuition: $8655

Technology Fee: $60 per semester ($300 total)

ATI Testing Package $460

NRSG 208 Fee: $275

Nursing Fee: $125 semester ($500+ total)

Books: $3000 (for entire program)

Background check/drug screen: $100

Background recheck/drug screen: $72

Uniform and supplies: $300

Plus other fees that vary such as CPR certification, physical exams and immunizations, NRSG 128 course fee

Total estimated was $13,662+

How about things like a stethoscope, pulse oxcemeter, lab coat,..... can we buy hunter green scrubs outside of the bookstore?

I remember the wait! I think we all started getting letters during the first two weeks of June. You could possibly initially get into PN program in Lawrence or Anderson. I think New Castle is only ASN. I started Lawrence fall 2015 in PN program with 131/160. The cut off for ASN was around 135. There was a girl who was accepted to PN in Lawrence that had the same score as me, but later accepted a New Castle ASN spot due to ppl turning down their acceptance because they got into different campuses. Also, it's said that there are less applicants in the spring which is why some lower scores are accepted. Fall is more competitive. Good luck!

Typically in the past anything lower than 134 won't get you into the fall RN program. 120-130 may get you into the fall LPN program. The spring cohorts typically accept lower scores only because less applicants apply.

no bc it has to have the ivy tech logo. its 26$ for the polo and $50 for the scrub shirt. you need both. but you can buy your black pants outside of the book store.

Which campus are you referring to, I'll hopefully be at Bloomington. I thought they had hunter green scrub bottoms, and white scrub top with Ivy Tech logo.

Yeah it's so nerve wrecking because some days I feel like 120 is okay then others I feel like I have literally no chance. A guy in my micro class said Fall of 15' he got into the Lawrence PN with a 118 so it makes me wonder if my score is "okay". Then after talking to a DON she pretty much told me PN programs are a complete waste but of course you expect that from a 40 year experienced RN. Huh, hopefully we all make the cut. I know 149 is great, your definitely in.

Stay possitive, scores all depend on how many applicants apply to each campus. We've said it before and it's worth repeating, scores don't indicate if you will be a good nurse. Often then indicate more the value of the schools investments in potential students but in my paramedic classes I had a professor that always said...I'd rather have someone streetsmart than booksmart. There is a lot of untestable ales in potential nursing students, so we just do our best aND keep pushing forward.
