Yes, I believe all prereq's have to be completed before the application deadline. You might want to check with the nursing advisor at the campus you want to apply to. At the Nursing Information meeting I attended, they stressed that they are a bit ...

I got mine last Friday! :) I'll be attending Ivy Tech - Valpo for the Fall 07 RN program! :) My parents just bought me a Littmann Classic II SE stethoscope as a gift. I hear they are one of the best. Best wishes to all!
Hey All! Does anyone know what the required uniform is for clinicals at Ivy Tech? I'm applying for the fall RN program, and would like to get a jump on it, if at all possible. Thanks! :)

Actually, this has changed. At least for the Fall 2007 class. Because the cirriculum changed, they all allowing the classes taken in Spring 2007 to count toward admission to the Fall 2007 nursing program. This is a recent change, so check with the...

Thank you! That is very helpful! I'll be attending Valparaiso. I'll try giving them a call to find out the requirements. Did you have to purchase your stethescope from the bookstore also, or from an outside source? Thanks again! :)

Hi Lori... Which campus did you graduate from? Are the uniforms available at all the campus bookstores, or do you have to purchase from an outside source? Thanks! :)

You can count me in! I'm taking APII right now. I got a bit of a head start reading the chapter (Endocrine). My class is on Saturday afternoon (Yesterday). I was so glad I started reading it, as I felt very prepared. :)

You'll have the tubal ligation and rape problem with any Catholic hospital. That isn't just because it is Sisters of St. Francis. The rest is a concern.
Just curious as to why you are not happy about it. St. Anthony's in Crown Point is where I am hoping to work after graduation. They have the best L&D in the area for mom's that are hoping to avoid c-sections, and interventions. (I obviously wa...

The only problem with testing out is that most colleges give you a grade of a 'C' if you test out. If you think you can do better than a 'C' by taking the class, you're better off to do so. Reason being, with how competitive some programs are for n...
Hi All... I was wondering if anyone could tell me if you are able to use calculators on the Math portion of the TEAS test. I'll be taking it at Ivy Tech Valpo. Thanks for any information you can give me! :)
takapahaRN replied to takapahaRN's topic in Indiana
Thank you! I'll definitely get the study guide next semester. I'm already in a panic over the TEAS and I won't take it until March! LOL! Which campus are you attending? Best wishes to you! Amy

I'm curious as to which campuses are the most difficult to get into, and which have the most applicants. It just seems strange to me that if they have SO many applicants, that they don't expand the program to take more applicants each semester. It...
takapahaRN replied to jennifers's topic in Indiana
I think it will end up running you quite a bit more than that. I'm taking 4 pre-req's right now at Ivy Tech-Valpo, and my tuition for this semester alone was $1100. That did not include over $500 in books. That is the cost for 3 credit classes, to...

I'm currently enrolled at Ivy Tech, and trying to get into the nursing program for Fall of '07. What are the classed you have to take for admission to the nursing program at other schools?

I'm in NW Indiana, and the starting pay for a nurse graduate (before state licensure - for RN) at my two local hospitals is $21.30 and $22/hr. There is a $2/hr shift differential for nights, and a $.50/hr increase once you pass the state exam. An LP...
