:balloons:spread the word: in response to the current nurse shortage, indiana university school of nursing has just announced that they will be starting two new accelerated bsn classes, in addition to the one that traditionally starts in the summer. ...

Yes, great attitude. I think a lot of people don't realize that, while med students are getting well-educated in diagnosing and treating disease, they often have less training in basic, direct patient care than nurse aides do. Heck, I was shaking in...

i posted this under the indiana nurses forum, but thought it might be more widely read in the pre-nursing forum. :balloons:spread the word: in response to the current nurse shortage, indiana university school of nursing has just announced that the...

Great info - Thanks! I was thinking it sounded too good to be true that most hospitals are HPSA. According to the online list, there are no such facilities in my county and most of those around me. It would severly limit where I could work, and su...

QMAs in this state are Qualified Medication Aides, according to the Indiana State Board of Health. They are CNAs with additional training and certification for passing certain meds, mainly orals. They can't do IV's, etc., like previously mentioned...

Sorry, I never posted back here after going to TJ Uniforms at Edinburgh Premium Outlets. The scrub selection was decent, but I'm not sure how the prices compare since this was my first scrub purchase. I got two Cherokee print tops off the clearance...

Thanks for adding the CNA forum! I recently started working as a patient care assistant (not certified) at a hospital, and start nursing school in a few weeks. I love working with patients!!! However, I am still quite nervous sometimes. This is ...

Erk, keep up you determination to become a nurse. It seems from your attitude that you will find a way. Yes, it can be very frustrating to figure out how to keep your family from starving to death or living under a bridge before you finish school! ...

Usually, that is called "tuition assistance", "educational assistance", etc. "Loan forgiveness" is what Energizer said, where they pay some or all of the student loans you had before becoming their employee. I'm hoping to find this benefit when I ...

Awesome. Thanks for the tip!

Wow, I loved that show as a kid! Adam-12, too. Funny, now my brother is a police officer, and I'm going to be a nurse. Okay, so I'm not a paramedic, but closer to it than CPA!

I found this on the "Spotlight On Nursing" website sponsor list, and just did a copy and paste. Scrubs & Beyond, 2 Indy locations: Clearwater Springs 5151 East 82nd Street Space #500 (next to Marsh Supermarket) Indianapolis, IN 46250 317-570...

I took Anatomy (5 cr) and Physiology (5 cr) in seperate semesters. I did very well, but would not recommend taking them during the same semester unless you have LOTS of free time and no other classes (well, except one really easy one), or have a very...

Handling toads causes warts. Hair's split ends can be repaired. Babies have to be bundled as if for an Anarctic expedition, even when its 90+ degrees outside. There is such thing as a "stomach flu". This is kinda fun. Lets hear some more.

How about the ol' "feed a cold, starve a fever" that our grandmothers (or great-grandmothers) used to tell everyone. I can remember my grandmother being genuinely worried that I was harming my first child by feeding her anything when she had a feve...

For IU School of Nursing at Indianapolis (IUPUI) and at Bloomington, students who did the majority of their undergraduate coursework at either the Bloomington, Indy, or Columbus campuses of Indiana U/IUPUI have priority over students from other campu...

first of all, take a deep breath and relax. you'll do better if you can calm your nerves. :monkeydance: i just took this test in march and did very well. keep practicing for the test, and if you can get your hands on a study guide for the teas, use...

Be proud of your recent accomplishments, and don't look back! :w00t:As long as your pre-req grades are good, you would be in fine shape for admittance to most schools. I, too had bad grades from many years ago. Recently, after three semesters of ...

Hello, all. I am new to this site, and just applied to IUPUI's traditional BSN program. Does anybody know how they determine your admissions GPA? Is it just the courses you list on the application, or do they count others on your transcript as w...

Hiya! Thanks for the replies. I did find out that they do go strictly by the pre-nursing GPA, at least for now. However, I decided to start with Ivy Tech's LPN program instead, so I can get a better-paying job sooner, to help me survive financial...

I just took the PSB-PN test today and did very well, but it was a bit tougher than I expected. It is my understanding that no study guide specific to the PSB-PN exists. Therefore, I would recommend using a study guide for any other common nursing s...
