   Similar to leadkrm, I applied to three jobs, was asked to interview and shadow, and turned down two offers to ultimately accept my dream job at Eskenazi ER. I’ll also be starting on Monday! Definitely no struggle finding a job, the majority of my cla...

   It's been a month since graduation and I wanted to check in earlier but the site has been under construction. Has anyone taken their NCLEX yet or how has NCLEX studying been going? I took the NCLEX January 5th and found out I passed on the 7th! It's...

   Yes we're almost done! A month until graduation it's going by fast but finding motivation to study has been challenging. I'm sort of burnt out and just ready to be done. I had my first interview last week for a nurse residency on a progressive care ...

   That's pretty much what I've heard from LPN students. The tests are really difficult no matter how much you study. I'm most nervous about this class than any of the other ones, but we'll get through!

   @Leadkrm That's awesome. I have no idea where I want to work. Working as a PCA is invaluable experience. Congrats and yes I have class on Thursday mornings. Have you already taken OB/Peds? Any advice?

   Just popping back in to see how it is going for everyone. I'm only about 4 weeks away from being done with second semester and I'll be going through the summer taking complex medsurg. This semester I'm taking pharm, medsurg 2 and mental health. Men...

   terpturnedRN replied to BuriedSet127's topic in General Students

   I'm in my first semester of nursing school at Ivy tech in the Lawrence campus. Not sure what campus you're going to but every Ivy Tech campus is different so I can only speak for where I go. I've also read a lot of the same things you've mentioned. ...

    I'm at Lawrence as well. Yes like leadkrm said all our classes run 16 weeks. Clinical starts 2-3 weeks in just so we can get the basics done vitals, assessment, PPE, transfers and safe positioning and as we continue learning things in lab and get che...

    First week was definitely overwhelming just getting oriented but once I organized everything I'm feeling a little better. There's definitely a lot of good resources for studying provided to us and I enjoy all the professors you can tell they love wha...
