Anyone know anything about this school? Good, bad? Thank you :)

Anyone know anything about the program or is anyone attending it now?? I live in Indiana right now, but I'm from Cleveland, and my mom has been employed by the Cleveland Clinic for almost 20 years. They have a smartloan program that is for employees...

What about if you go full time? What is full time-everyday?

Well, we decided to go ahead and move back to Cleveland so that I can do this program. I gather that I need to go to Tri-C first and complete pre-reqs before I can apply to Hurons program. Any information that anyone can give me on the program would...

Thanks! They have quite a few campuses in Illinois-and I haven't come across anything bad about them yet...so I went ahead and applied. We'll see :) Thanks again!

yeah! go colts!!!!

We live around Shadeland and Fallcreek and it's about 10-15 minutes to downtown, and we only pay 505 a month for a one bedroom apartment that's about 900 sq. feet. There are quite a few good places around for cheap, I actually have a friend who lives...

I don't understand why when nursing is in such high demand, they make it damn near impossible for you to succeed. You can't get into any programs, and the ones you can cost a million dollars. You can take your pre-reqs, and by the time you finish, yo...

You don't have to attend the nursing info session until before you apply to the actual nursing program right? So like, while I'm doing pre-reqs I could attend one? Oh-and if you're going to apply to more than one Ivy Tech campus for the Nursing progr...

If you don't mind my asking-where did you go instead? Ivy Tech is one of my options because of cost and cost only, but because of all the other BS (waiting lists, etc.), I've been looking elsewhere. I'm just curious where you ended up at. Thanks!

Hi there! I've been hanging around here reading stuff for a while, and I just wanted to get some advice if that's cool. I live in Indianapolis. Right now, I'm a massage therapist. I like it a lot-but I just feel like as much as it helps people, it's...

I looked into BSU and it's not gonna work for me. 4 year program only. I NEED to do the 2 year and start working as a nurse, then finish up the Bachelors. Marian and U of I are still my top choices :) It's good to hear you are liking Marian!

Wow-I'm glad to see this, I don't know how I haven't seen this part of the board yet. I'm a massage therapist and I'm going back to school for nursing this year. I'm glad there are enough people that do that to warrant an entire section of the board!

Wow-I hadn't even considered BSU-that's a good idea! I'm gonna PM you for some info :)

Oh I completely understand-I definitely don't WANT to pay more money-not at all. I already have PLENTY of college loans that I am paying off-so the cheaper the better. I'm still not giving up on Ivy Tech-but I'm just trying to decide if that's going...

Thank you for clearing that up for me :) Is it just Ivy Tech that does it this way?

Thanks for all of the replies! All the information I can get helps! I just applied at U of I online last night, and I'm still planning on applying to Marian. You guys all have a great point-I can get the ASN now, and start working as a nurse and hope...

Cool-thanks for the info! If everyone is only wanting to hire BSN nurses, then they really need to start doing away with ASN programs. I mean, why even make it an option if your not up to their standards when you finish it? That's what it seems like-...

Do they offer an ASN? So it could take up to 5 years there? What if you're a transfer student-I've already taken all my English/Speech/Pysch. I will need math, science, etc.

I'm considering Marian College-but I actually don't know the cost...how much are we talking?

Okay-so here's something else about Ivy Tech. I don't remember if I asked about this somewhere else, or what-but I was reading through the stuff again, and it says about the pre-req courses: Points will NOT be awarded for courses taken in the semeste...

I'm trying to decide on doing ASN or BSN-and I was wondering, is there any benefit to doing the ASN and then working as a nurse while I get the BSN? Or is it better to just go straight through to the BSN?? What about becoming an LPN and working as t...

Cool. That's good-that's what I figured. It's probably a lot easier to get the ASN and then get that good pay while going for the BSN. Thank you! Do you think it's a waste of time to get a CNA and do that while in the ASN program? Or is that just t...

Thank you so much! This is all very good advice and information. This is exactly the kind of stuff I need to know and had no clue about. Thank you so much! I hope you can get back to nursing school sometime if you still want to!

Good point :) I'm gonna start looking into IUPUI-I mean, it doesn't hurt to apply there and see what my financial aid would be there-right?? :) Thanks!!
