Okay so I am currently at Ivy Tech in northwest indiana. I am doing my pre-reqs now. I was going to apply to get into the ASN RN program in august. I have heard so many things about getting into the program. Its a wait, its ahrd to get in..blah blah...So..I called valporaiso Universiy and got all my transcripts and everything sent to them and everything. I need to take my anp 2 & my chem class which I am taking in jan. They accepted me into their BSN program! I start in august..DOWN SIDE: Very expensive and its gonna be a 4 years instead of 2. I can apply for the accelerated after im done with my 2 semesters of nursing. And the drive is about half hour - hour away! Question: SHould I still apply for Ivy Tech nursing program? I planned on going back for my BSN anyhow! Thanks!!

Are there any RN programs offered that you get rite into the Nursing Program? I am niot wanting to wait. I am currently at Ivy Tech and last I heard its extremely hard to get into the RN program and Im not wanting to do the LPN bridge. Any Ideas? Thanks!

I am currently taking my pre-reqs at ivy tech in gary. I want to become an RN. The problem is that they only accept 25 students in to the program so there is a wait. I was considering Trying to get into the LPN in august "09" and then when i am done with that then bridge over. If I take all my classes andtry and get in the RN program that wont be till jan "10" when i would be able to get in, if i was accepted. I want to see what other options i have. If anyone has any advice i would reall appreciate it. Thanks! i just want to get done!

Thanks everyone for the comments back. So, it would be in my best interest to work at a LTC facility to gain my experience and then go to a hospital?

Hey Everyone! Next friday is my last day of my CNA program! What is my next step after completing the program. I am also looking in going to Ivy Tech for LPN. What does anyone recommend??

Olympia college offers it but I really dont want to go there. You can work in a hospital with not going to college for surg tech?? WOW..news to me..Lol..Thanks for all the feedback

Does anyone have any information on Surgical Tech? How long is the program and where can i take it?? I am currently going through a CNA training program and Im done June 9th. thanks all

:welcome: I called my Workone office and asked them if they have any programs or classes that i can take to become a CNA. They told me I have to go to an orientation to see how it is done and the assistance. Anyone else know about this and how it is done??
