   I emailed, no answer yet. I will call if they don't respond.

2. IWU RN-MSN

   Is IWU strict on requiring you to have 10 years of nursing experience when applying to the RN to MSN program?

3. Paramedic to RN Fall 2016

   LCC6133 replied to fembotemt's topic in Indiana

   I felt the same way about the peds class/instructor. Just keep your head down and try to make the best of it. Real learning comes on the job anyway.

4. New to ED, Suggestions on Supplies

   LCC6133 replied to Nurse-please's topic in Emergency

   Decent stethoscope, shears, pen. Use your stethoscope, don't just have it as an accessory which I see so many nurses do. Also a cheap watch because it will get bodily fluids on it at some point.

5. Cautious ask: If you hated being a RN, would you enjoy NP?

   LCC6133 replied to rearviewmirror's topic in NP

   Not necessarily. Becoming a provider is way different than bedside nursing. It comes with new frustrations though. If dealing with patients and their families is tough, neither job is enjoyable.

6. Eliminating Physicians/Medical Schools

   LCC6133 replied to AAC.271's topic in NP

   NP's don't have the same level of training by far. Don't get me wrong, a NP is well trained but not to the extent of an MD.

7. IU MSN program

   LCC6133 replied to bae2012's topic in Indiana

   Did you get in? How was the program?

8. Ivy Tech Book Importance

   LCC6133 replied to HolisticASN's topic in Indiana

   Don't buy the bundle. The main course books are important but the drug guide and other books are a waste when you can find everything you need online.

9. What do we need to buy?

   LCC6133 replied to LacyMom74's topic in Indiana

   Don't buy the package. Use Amazon for books. Get a good quality stethoscope but not ridiculously expensive. You can get a nice Littman online for $35-50. Scrubs come from the university. I hated the male scrubs, I looked like a parking attendant.

10. Paramedic to RN Fall 2016

    LCC6133 replied to fembotemt's topic in Indiana

    I went through the course. Your medic experience will help but you will be frustrated a lot. Medics and RNs approach things differently. You have to be open to doing things differently. Care plans....not practical or useful but it's a hoop you have t...

    Do good in your course work, take a review class and NCLEX should be a breeze.

12. RN at Eskenazi health VS IU university hospital

    LCC6133 replied to YourFaveNurse's topic in Indiana

    I don't work at either but have RN friends at both. Eskenazi would be my pick. What did you end up doing?

13. Indiana State University FNP

    LCC6133 replied to HerbyRN's topic in NP Students

    Speaking of USI, I heard they no longer offer a RN to MSN. Is this true, and if so, does anyone know why?

14. ABSN Programs and Financial Aid Help!!

    LCC6133 replied to heidinsh's topic in Online Learning

    I am an ASN and want to do RN to MSN at Ball State or IUPUI. I agree, go for the ASN and start working. Make some money then have your employer help pay for you to further your education.

15. Why do some practices prefer PAs to NPs?

    LCC6133 replied to mep7296's topic in NP

    The hospital I work uses PA's more than NP's in the ED. As for the other areas, NP's far out number PA's. The majority are women in both cases.
