1. Return to work

   angmcav replied to moonrose2u's topic in General Nursing

   I think it just depends on the person's level of ability to do tasks. I am in orientation and there was another women who I'd say was in her late 70's to early 80's in orientation with me. She had been a nurse for 44 years and was hired to due PRN wo...

2. Will cardiomyopathy keep you from getting a hospital job?

   angmcav posted a topic in General Nursing

   I just did my health screening for my first nursing job. I was honest and stated I had cardiomyopathy on the forms. Do they consider this a liability and rescind their offer of employment?

   I almost hate admitting this but I got in with a 112. I wasn't going to apply but my husband talked me into it by saying even if I only got into the LPN program at least I could be a nurse sooner. So I applied for spring 2018 admission. I decided to ...

   @Kotylynne hi! I am in the nursing program at the lawrenceburg campus. For myself, the best advice I can give would be to get healthy. I should be in my fourth semester graduating in December but... I'm only starting in my 2nd semester this fall as a...

   The interesting thing about my drive is that it's so pleasant that the hour and forty minutes go by fast. I only spend maybe 20 minutes on the interstate. As for bad weather, there were a few days last semester, but fortunately I drive a four wheel d...

   I go to the Lawrenceburg campus, it was one of the campuses I applied to. This is my second semester and there were at least six students in my class that didn't apply to the Lawrenceburg campus and they called them and offered them a spot in the RN ...

7. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

   angmcav replied to 37changes's topic in School Programs

   Hi Yoda Mans. I just finished my first semester at the Lawrenceburg campus for RN. The style of testing is very different. There were 18 students initially in my class. Five of them failed Med-surg and of course won't get to move on with us. It's sad...

   I would think so. 147 is a pretty high score. I was looking through the post and seen someone got into the Gary ASN program with a 126

   Hi simtes. The only thing i can think of is to talk to a nursing advisor or the nursing program chair. They will be able to give you the best advice.

10. Current LPN Student

    angmcav replied to Marieh's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Wow, I had no idea that they had LPN programs that short! No, my program is ASN. I seen your post when I was perusing through the student section a few days ago. I like to read about other students and future nursing students and I thought your initi...

11. Current LPN Student

    angmcav replied to Marieh's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I had my first nursing school orientation on November 14. There was a quote on the board when I walked into the room - "Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard and succeed on purpose." - G.K. Neilsen I agree, if you want something bad e...

12. Am I too small to be a nurse?

    angmcav replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    Just because you're small doesn't mean you can't be quick on your feet or handle the demands of patient care. Let me give you an example that goes in the opposite direction - 18 years ago I gave birth via c-section. I bled internally for 9 hours befo...

    I'm not sure what campuses to tell you. Have you tried going to the nursing board's website and looking at nclex pass rates? Have you tried the thread on all nurses called fall 2017 ivytech hopefuls? A person named 37changes could tell you about the ...

    angmcav replied to Jbailey155's topic in School Programs

    I just heard from my campus - registration is November 14, 10-1 and orientation is January 11, 9-3. The email mentioned something about having to pay for the back ground check that day. I don't know if they are talking about registration or orientati...

    I haven't got anything yet for my campus at Lawrenceburg. Is there anyone else that hasn't heard anything yet?
