  1. overwhelmed!

    Ceteris Paribus replied to lyndsaynicole's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Well, I can only speak for Ivy Tech and Ball State (and to a lessor extent IUPUI where my significant other went). BSU, and IUPUI looked pretty much ONLY at your grades. Also, they only looked at...

  2. Information about Marian College

    Ceteris Paribus replied to r010127's topic in Indiana Nursing

    You should be able to take care of EVERYTHING at the Lawrence campus. One of the very valid criticisms of Ivy Tech is that many of their administrators (especially at the Meridian campus) behave as,...

  3. overwhelmed!

    Ceteris Paribus replied to lyndsaynicole's topic in Indiana Nursing

    No and here's why. Points are only awarded for courses completed by the application DEADLINE . For example the ASN deadline for the class starting Jan 01 2007 was something like Sept 15 2006 (and...

  4. Information about Marian College

    Ceteris Paribus replied to r010127's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Also, no disrespect but for many of us paying 17K per year for tuition (not including books/supplies) is simply not an option! Ivy Tech at about 15% of that figure is a tremendous bargain (I would go...

  5. Information about Marian College

    Ceteris Paribus replied to r010127's topic in Indiana Nursing

    My significant other graduated with an ASN two years ago (Indy Area) and had eight job offers within four weeks. Offers ranged from $18.00 (Martinsville and Wishard)/hr to $25.00 (Saint Francis...

  6. Need some program advice...

    Ceteris Paribus replied to SafetyLady's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Well, I will be starting the Ivy Tech ASN program in Indianapolis on Jan 08. I am in the "night" section and here is my full time schedule: 1. Tuesday 5-9 Nursing Fundamentals 2. Thursday 5-9...

  7. overwhelmed!

    Ceteris Paribus replied to lyndsaynicole's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I have a bit of insight into your situation. My significant other is a nurse and I was a nursing student for two years at BSU. Unfortunately, we lost our child care and I had to drop out of that...

  8. LPN's is this true?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to CantWait2Nurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I work as a home health care aide (starting Ivy Tech Indy in Jan) and the LPN I work with made 70K last year as an LPN. Granted that was with about 20 hours overtime per week, but her base is $25.00...

  9. do you think...?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to haa's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Although, I disagree with not providing medications to prevent pregnancy in the case of sexual assault I actually consider their "conservative" policies to be a huge benefit. Consider, that someone...

  10. Information about Marian College

    Ceteris Paribus replied to r010127's topic in Indiana Nursing

    How can you "buy" your way through? You still have to take the NCLEX and pass after graduation! Are you saying that they don't make you take and pass exams during nursing school? Note, I say this...

  11. TEAS Test--Study Buddy

    Ceteris Paribus replied to michbry's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I got a 90% on the Science portion of the TEAS despite my overall score only being 88% (English brought my overall score way down thanks to a 78% showing). There were some questions about the food...

  12. TEAS Test--Study Buddy

    Ceteris Paribus replied to michbry's topic in Indiana Nursing

    You actually CANNOT offset it completely because many colleges (that use the TEAS) set "cut" scores in subject areas that must be met BEFORE they will even look at your overall score. For Ivy Tech I...

  13. Apts near Marian College

    Ceteris Paribus replied to bethin's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The "village" of Broad Ripple (56th and College North to about 70th Street) is really nice (perhaps a bit pricy because the area is trendy for college students and night life so you will probably pay...

  14. New Grad Pay Rates

    Ceteris Paribus replied to ctunurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Keep in mind that shift differentials for third shift and weekends can also make a BIG difference! One hospital might pay a higher base but sufficiently less for nights and weekends to the point of...

  15. Indiana Wesleyan University nursing program

    Ceteris Paribus replied to new_mom26's topic in Indiana Nursing

    How would you say that Indiana Wes. compairs to a "total online" RN- to BSN program like IUPUI? My wife is just finishing that program and it has been largely a piece of cake (although not very...

  16. another ivy tech post

    Ceteris Paribus replied to jennifers's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Maybe, I'm not understanding something but whether or not you attend Marion, or Ivy Tech (Indianapolis) you will have to move in order to make the drive reasonable. Keep in mind that you can take the...

  17. another ivy tech post

    Ceteris Paribus replied to jennifers's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Well you make some good points: a. Your TEAS test in Indy (which is always open M-F basically 9-4 PM although you must arrive by about 1PM to test) will count at ANY Ivy Tech campus. b. I have found...

  18. another ivy tech post

    Ceteris Paribus replied to jennifers's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I just got into the Indianapolis ASN class which starts in Jan 2007. I don't know how many applicants there were for this class. My GPA was 4.0 (actually 3.75 overall but 4.0 in the four courses...
