   Thanks everyone. I wasn't worried about the redness, but it was the swelling. Is this a dumb question (probably), but is swelling different than induration? Can anyone explain the difference? It was swollen bigger than 10 mm, but I guess I just don't...

   dizze98765 posted a topic in Indiana

   Someone please tell me I'm imagining here... I have NOT started nursing school yet, so I promise I don't think I know what I'm talking about, but the nurse who read my tb test for a new job at clarian worries me. I had a TB test a couple of years ago...

   dizze98765 replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana

   This is probably a stupid question, but are they in a different category than regular employees? I guess I just assumed that since regular PT and FT workers get tuition reimbursement there that externs would be the same way, but I could totally be wr...

4. Ivy Tech Thread

   dizze98765 replied to stupidcancer's topic in Indiana

   Just curious if anyone has taken ANP online? How does it work with the lab? I saw one person say they had to order a fetal pig (WTH!?!). It seems a little odd to have a fetal pig in your house, so I was just wondering how exactly this works! ETA: I t...

5. Ivy Tech Thread

   when applying to Ivy Tech to start taking the pre-reqs, which option do you select in the "Program applying for" section. I see nothing similar to "pre-nursing" or anything. Never mind... figured it out.

6. UGH! I'm so confused... reconsidering school

   dizze98765 replied to dizze98765's topic in Indiana

   Thanks, I just found the course schedule/outline online. I guess I just don't understand why semesters 3 and 4 are part time. That makes no sense to me. Why divide what could be 1 full time semester into 2 part time ones. According to their list, the...

7. IUPUI second degree BSN?

   dizze98765 replied to dizze98765's topic in Indiana

   Sorry... just following up to my own message since I don't know how to edit... I am correct in my info that IUPUI doesn't look favorably at Ivy Tech pre-reqs correct? I know it's competitive enough to begin with so I wouldn't want to do anything else...

8. IUPUI second degree BSN?

   dizze98765 posted a topic in Indiana

   A few questions if you don't mind! I have a feeling nobody will know, but thought I'd give it a shot! I cannot get a hold of anyone in the nursing dept. at IUPUI so feel kind of clueless right now. Is anyone in this program or have gone through it ...

9. Nursing school with young baby?

   dizze98765 replied to dizze98765's topic in General Students

   Thanks, sorry for being one of those annoying posters who asks the same question that's already been asked! I did a search, but I must have been looking for the wrong thing. All I could find were posts about getting pg while in nursing school, posts ...

10. Nursing school with young baby?

    dizze98765 replied to dizze98765's topic in General Students

    Thanks, I definitely wouldn't want to attempt that!

11. Nursing school with young baby?

    dizze98765 posted a topic in General Students

    Can it be done?? Our problem is that DH and I were planning to have children before I decided to go to nursing school. Now that I've found my career path I'm struggling between feeling like I'm choosing education over children or vice versa. We just ...

12. UGH! I'm so confused... reconsidering school

    dizze98765 replied to dizze98765's topic in Indiana

    Thanks, I have been inquiring about IUPUI's second degree program but it's ridiculously hard to even get an answer from someone. I'm just confused because it affects my prereqs. IUPUI won't take ivy tech prereqs, well they'll take them but look more ...

13. UGH! I'm so confused... reconsidering school

    dizze98765 posted a topic in Indiana

    I was under the impression that since Ivy Tech's program (and other ASNs) are associates degrees they could be completed in 2 years. I just got a smack in the face when the Indy RN advisor emailed me back and told me that the nursing courses alone (s...

    Anyone know who should I contact at the Ivy Tech Greencastle campus to answer my pre-nursing questions?

15. Poll: How much do you study?

    dizze98765 posted a topic in Indiana

    How many hours would you say you put in studying outside of class during your nursing courses (prereqs aside)?
