Now the waiting begins.....

U.S.A. Indiana

So, yesterday was the deadline for applying to the Ivy Tech RN program. NOW THE WAITING BEGINS! In my understanding, it will be late may before we hear anything. Yikes! I don't think I'll have any fingernails left by then...I'll bite them all off! (Maybe I'll have to go buy some). I gues now I just have to focus all my energy on maintaining my A in ANP 102 to be sure I get in. Anyone else a bit nervous?

:wtosts:

You guys have a much longer wait then the transitional students. We wait anywhere from 2-5 weeks for our notice.

Thats the hard part......the wait.

Been there, done that.......only advice I can give you is stay busy and focus on your ANP.

You can do it!!!!

I'm here waiting with you. I am finishing up ANP 102 too. I am also doing 3 other classes that are co reqs . You wouldn't think I would have time to obsess about the "Letter" but somehow I do!!

Hurry up June!

I'm in the same boat. I have A's in all the pre-reqs and I'm taking ANP201 and Micro now. After these two, I'm completely finished with all co-reqs and have nothing but Nursing core left.

Tick-tock!!!! My fingernails are already gone, btw. Chewed them all off in the 2 days before I took the TEAS. I'm not good at waiting. I need to know -now- if my scores are good enough to get me in at Indy.:uhoh21:

With all A's and a great TEAS score, I am positive your a shoe-in for the course!

I was accepted to Indy with 3 A's, 1 B, and an 84.2% TEAS.

Of course, everyone can tell you that but if your like I was, you need to see that letter.

Just keep thinking.................yeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwww, I'm going to school!

Brenda :yeah:

Awww.....I miss Florida! I grew up in Tampa and used to drive down once a year for vacation. With gas prices being what they are, I had to give that up =(

My mailman is gonna hate me before this is all over! LOL

Exactly!!!!

I have really been trying to just give it over and not worry about it, but it's taking some work.

Heather, I am envious at least you can't pester the mailman while you are in FL.:lol2:

Good Luck! to all of us!!!!

I am flying cause my car could not make it there haha. My boyfriend is stationed there in the Air Force and he gets out in June..soo excited! We've been doing the long distance thing for 4 years. I try to fly there as much as my bank account will allow, and sometimes he will pay for my ticket.

I think I have an average chance of getting in... I have 3 A's and 1 B and got at 82% on my TEAS. If the rumors are right and they are only taking 10 traditional RN people in Bloomington my chances are slim to none. I applied to the LPN program as well as a potential back up.

Who knows....it just depends on how everyone else did!!!:anbd:

I applied to the LPN program too, Heather.

I really want to get into the RN program because it is a part-time evening class. I will be able to continue at my current job. They are taking 20 for it. Just about everybody in my ANP 102 class has applied.

But, I will be happy if I get into the LPN too. I just want to get in somewhere. LOL! i need a starting point!

It's tough but we have to stay positive!!!

IMAGINE yourself in that room with all those practice dummies, inserting catheters and stuff!...and all the other students oohing and ahhing over your "nursely" talent!!! LOL!!!

WE will get in!!

Heather, you may want to try Indy and Columbus also. I know Indy took 30 last fall but they are supposed to be taking more this Fall. They also do a Spring entry class as well....not sure if B-town does that or not. Only taking 10????? Geez!!!!! That stinks~!

Does anyone know what the clinicals are like? I'm trying to prepare as early as possible for my kids. If I have to be at clinicals at 6:30 in the morning, I will have to find someone to get my kids off to school. Anyone know if we have an option to choose clinical days and times? If I was able to be at clinicals at 8 am or 9, that would be awesome. 6:30 is gonna be really hard for me being a single parent of 4.
