I think there are various possibilities of what your schedule can look like. I know 2 people who started in Aug @ the Columbus Campus....For the 1st 5 weeks, one went 5 days a week, at least 4 hours most of the days; however, the other person only went 3 or 4 days...They have some 'morning' schedules & some 'afternoon' schedules...Starting Week 6 of the semester, your schedule will be something different because clinicals will begin... From my understanding, the schedules will be handed out at the 1st Orientation... All the "unknowns" are driving me crazy too!

I believe you will be fine since the Summer semester is between your classes ending and the Fall start....However, I'm not sure if you will have to submit your grade to the Nursing Dept or if they will automatically pull it after the spring semester is over.

I remember them talking about this at the Info session...If there is a tie, they will take the other classes into consideration. If it is still a tie after that, they will take the TEAS score... I took the ATI practice test online too...My score on the 'real' test was much better than the online practice. (hope that makes you feel a little better :loveya:)

Congrats!!!

csab~ I would have 188 points....The extra 10 to 20 points would be soooo much better! I am going to take the TEAS for the 3rd time...Hopefully I can bring that up a little too...We'll see.

Anyone have any luck with Lab #3? I feel like I'm going in circles....

welcome to allnurses.com! you will find tons of helpful information on this site! each campus has information sessions about the nursing/paramedic/dental programs. i encourage you to go to one early on if possible. the information they provide may help you decide what route you want to take. good luck!

I haven't received anything back on Lab 1 yet. For the decimals on the 1st quiz...However many decimals were in the problem, I used that in my answer. If the problem had one or two #s after the decimal point, that's how I entered it. In cases there wasn't a decimal in the problem, I used my best judgment & referred to practice problems. If you haven't taken the quiz yet, Good Luck! It wasn't as bad as I was anticipating...I think Lab 2 was so much harder!

I've taken APHY 1 & 2 & have passed both with a high "B", but would like to raise my grade to get the extra points for the nursing progarm.... I would love to hear any feedback, pros & cons, about the online classes any of you've taken. Thanks in advance!

You're fine, I did figure it out. I appreciate all the help I received! Thanks so much to my Chemistry-pals!

Initially, it comes up: 1.Hydrocholoric Acid 2.Water After the reaction: 1.Hydrocholoric Acid 2.Water 3.Unkown P.S. Hmmmmm.......... So, it's the 2nd chemical I added?...That is not listed! Wow! Can I make it any more difficult? :-)

I'm a little confused about the 1st Lab.... How can I tell what chem comp. has been used up? My contents are listed 1. 2. 3.

Our 1st lab is posted @ Late Nite Labs. Do any of you know how many times we can do each lab? Do we get 1 chance & then have to submit our report? I'm a little nervous about clicking on the lab & starting it.

I looked those pages over...They look horrible!! I completed the 1st 1/2 of our assignment for Week 1 last night. I feel okay about it so far... There are 2 Practice Problems that have me stumped (I think they're the last 2?). I'm starting to think the textbook has the wrong answers in it, but I don't know... I'll keep working on them & will post something if I can't get them. I hope everyone else is feeling okay so far too!

the following message just appeared on blackboard... [color=#33cc00][color=#33ff00][color=#330000]we apologize for any confusion regarding the availability of your courses. some courses have not been made available like they should be today, monday, june 8th. i hope this doesn't include our class...

Hello Everybody!! I thought I would go ahead and start a thread for the CHEM-101 online class for the Summer of 09. Hopefully this can be a place where we can help each other out if any of us get confused!

I think heartbreaking is okay...That shows you care!! As a parent that has been having different tests ran on my child, I would love to have you as a nurse! We have dealt with some people that I believe could care less. I agree with another post...We shouldn't rule anything out. Good luck to you in whatever area you choose!!

Labor & Delivery or Peds of some sort...

Amen to that!

I signed-up thru SB for CHEM-101-11B

I am signed up for this class too.... I'm starting to get nervous!

They do post every position on the website, which is nice. I believe if you take CNA classes it will help you in the future if you do apply for a position at the hospital. As you can imagine, the patient-care experience is highly desired! Have you had a chance to contact Ivy Tech?

Okay...I'll keep you in mind....I'd say the best thing is to keep an eye on the job postings on the CRH website. They really aren't doing a whole lot of hiring right now..I believe most positions are for people with degrees or certificates in various fields.

I really believe your feelings are more than normal!! I understand about the social life! I have not had one in sooooo long, but it isn't really because of school. I work 3rd shift, so I pretty much will chose sleep or study over fun any day. You are doing the right thing by asking questions! I believe the more research you do & the more questions you ask the people who are going through it, the better decision you'll make! (I know I've probably been driving people crazy asking questions about online chemistry & microbiology....) I do live in the Columbus area....I'll send you a Private Message to give you a little more info! :-)

ha! I am definitely not one of those book smart nerds...I only dream of being one! I think doubting yourself is normal. At least I hope it's normal... It seems like I go through that every few months or so! lol The compass test is something everyone has to take to enroll at Ivy Tech....I have never heard of it preventing anyone from getting in, you would maybe have to take some brush-up courses before you take any courses that are for college credit... As far as the Saturday classes, I only go on Saturday from 8am to 11:50a (sometimes we get done earlier & can leave if we want or we can stay & study or work on our assignments)...Of course we have homework and we do have some assignments we have to submit online, but the class does not require any other time on campus. Have you checked out the Ivy Tech website? They are starting to get the Summer & Fall courses posted. You can pick what days/times would work for you or you can view all days/times.... Go to www.ivytech.edu/columbus (the home page has the links for you).... Looking at the site may help you "plan" things out a little more. I really believe if you go & talk to someone in Admissions & take the Compass test, you will get so many things answered. I remember feeling like you & once I took the Compass test & enrolled in my first class, I finally felt at peace. Another poster talked about Financial Aid....This is one thing I don't know anything about since I have mainly been taking 1 class per semester....I have also been fortunate enough to get a job that pays my schooling. Sorry I can't offer any advice in the finance part of it...I know it was hard to budget the classes & books before I started my job. I am excited for you!
