  1. HELP PLEASE-Endorsing into CA, do I have to verify my original state of licensure?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to sjrupert's topic in General Nursing

    I have been told by at least two travel agencies that California is a "walkthrough" state and that if you go to Sacramento (some agencies said they will pay for the trip) that you can get at least a...

  2. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info. You will note my "sample" budget below. Clearly, any "successful" move is predicated upon certain "key" elements: 1. A significantly improved economy/job market. 2. Improved...

  3. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I don't disagree with the paying off the debt (in fact I essentially have no debt save for the student loans and a mortgage) BUT I am also working on my BSN! Also, I plan to keep going to...

  4. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Well we make decent money now with two nursing incomes. However, the problem is that we both have about 50K in school loan debt which we keep in deferment (basically forever) by taking at least six...

  5. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Well I drive a car with 330K miles live in house with no washer and dryer or central heating/Ac and plumbing which will hardly flush with a good rain storm so I wouldn't call our current standard of...

  6. Thinking about moving to Texas from Indiana

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    My wife and I are considering moving from Indiana to Houston. My wife strongly prefers Florida (she likes the beaches and waterparks), but the job market seems really weak there right now. I have one...

  7. Ivy Tech Indy-how do you like it?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ginger Vitus's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Here's what I like: a. They have one of the highest NCLEX pass rates in the state: around 97.5% average over the past two years. b. Their tuition rates are very reasonable. c. Some of their teachers...

  8. ivy tech/ lawrence HELP :)

    Ceteris Paribus replied to coltsgrl's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Also, keep in mind that the ASN/LPN programs at Ivy Tech (espcially in the Indianapolis area) are rather competitive so you really need to maximize your grades. Grades are points (for admission) and...

  9. Any Ivy Tech Indy students out there?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    If so do you have any advice for maximizing my experience there? Will be starting the ASN program in

  10. Anyone take the Anatomy Class at IUPUI instead of Ivy Tech?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to ljohnsonjr's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Have you considered taking it at Ball State? I'm not saying that it was easy, but the instructor was great. Their physiology was also really

  11. What is the proximal/physiological cause of glossitis anyway?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This came up in my Med/Surg class tonight and no one (including the instructor) could really explain why this happens. Now, I know that glossitis is associates with a variety of pathological...

  12. What is the proximal/physiological cause of glossitis anyway?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The nursing application is that in general increasing our understanding of disease processes can increase our ability to provide effective assessments, and

  13. What is the proximal/physiological cause of glossitis anyway?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, inflammation, but why the tongue? What is special about the tongue's physiological or metabolic makeup that causes it to become inflammed in the presence of nutritional deficiencies like folate,...

  14. What is the proximal/physiological cause of glossitis anyway?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I checked out the link that you provided and it provides a definition, but doesn't go into the physiological basis for the glossitis. However, thanks for the reply I also have a post at...

  15. Nursing resources to listen to while commuting/working out? CD's tapes?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in General Nursing

    I haven't been able to find much of anything on tape or CD/Rom. I thought surely that they would make most of the nursing textbooks in an audio format for the vision impaired. As a busy nursing...

  16. Why so few LPN Programs in Indiana?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Here's a few good things in Ivy Tech's favor: 1. They have LOTS of campuses. If you live in Central Indiana and are willing to commute an hour or so you can apply to at least six campuses that I can...

  17. Apts near Marian College

    Ceteris Paribus replied to bethin's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Woodruff, has some BEAUTIFUL homes and we always love going to their community sale during the Summer, BUT both Michigan to the South and 10th street to the North hold roughly the same risks for...

  18. Apts near Marian College

    Ceteris Paribus replied to bethin's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Had I seen your post earlier I would have cautioned you against those locations as being "borderline" in terms of crime risk. I recently had a buddy who almost rented an apartment near 79th and...

  19. Ivy Tech - Indy

    Ceteris Paribus replied to butterfli325's topic in Indiana Nursing

    There are quite a few factors at play. Here are a few: 1. There is a discrepency between the supply of nursing programs slots, and the demand by students for those spots. 2. It is not easy for...

  20. Ivy Tech - Indy

    Ceteris Paribus replied to butterfli325's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Well my overall TEAS score was only 89 and I was accepted on my first attempt into the Indianapolis ASN program (that put me in the 97th percentile nationally and in the program meaning that for every...

  21. Ivy Tech - Indy

    Ceteris Paribus replied to butterfli325's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Keep in mind that with Ivy Tech they have MULTIPLE locations. If you are willing and able to commute you can increase your odds of being accepted by applying to multiple programs. For example...

  22. My best friend didn't get in!!!!!

    Ceteris Paribus replied to ILWannabeRN's topic in General Nursing

    As pointed out above there are schools where she can get in right now it comes down to how far is she willing to go to achieve her dream? That might mean to moving to rural New Mexico or Pennsylvania...

  23. Indiana Scholarship for Nurses

    Ceteris Paribus replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I am not aware of any preference to those on Welfare in the nursing program at Ivy Tech Indianapolis. All applicants must pass the TEAS exam with minimum scores in all areas and all applicants are...

    Ceteris Paribus replied to lyndsaynicole's topic in Indiana Nursing

    You can APPLY for the Fall classes (so long as you meet all TEAS requirements ect), but only those classes completed by the application deadline will be counted in terms of "points". In a competitive...

  25. Need some program advice...

    Ceteris Paribus replied to SafetyLady's topic in Indiana Nursing

    They didn't publish their nursing class schedules this time for some reason (they sometimes act as if people are so anxious to get into the nursing program there that "psycho" nursing students might...
