  1. Best Way to Learn Skills for Check off

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to try making a script and record it and listen to it over and over. We only have lab 1 day a week and I'm finding it hard to get enough hands on practice. So I...

  2. Best Ivy Tech Online Courses

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to tlofflan's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm signed up for PHIL 100 for spring but am trying to decide between it and HIST 245 (I think that is the one). It is through Kokomo though. What can you tell me about the class? assignments? Papers?...

  3. Local places to buy scrubs?

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm going scrubs shopping for school in the next couple of days. I'm going to go probably to the Uniform Shop in Kokomo, just because I don't know of any other stores nearby. Does anyone know of any...

    Yep..I love nursing school too!! I'm getting all A's in my nursing core. I even really like pharmacology so far! (remember I said so far) It's that other stupid required class Microbiology that I...

  5. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    It doesn't usually bug me when an instructor answers a question with a question. But, there are times when I don't really think it's necessary. Sometimes, a simple answer will suffice. If the...

  6. Are there any 1+1 programs in Indiana?

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to WhoNeedsaShot?'s topic in Indiana Nursing

    Ivy tech offers transition from LPN to ASN. I'm sure there are others, some may even be online. Seems like I remember seeing something about LPN-BSN too but, I can't remember. Maybe someone else will...

  7. cholesytectomy during nursing school

    wishNhopeNdreamN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure this is where this post needs to go, so feel free to move it if it is not in the right place. My question is who has had a cholesystectomy by Lap? If you have how quickly were you back to...

  8. From death row to pediatrics. Say WHAT?

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    I just want to say how great I think it is that you are following your dream. My dh is an old burly guy who works in state corrections. So I realize what a complete change this is for you. Kudos for...

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I apologize for not being better about posting to this group. Trina, I'd like to welcome you. Unfortunately the group my self included hasn't been very chatty. Maybe we could get started again. I fell...

    Like this one?

  11. A NON- Ivy tech question-- Bloomington nurses???

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to zoo*moon's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I don't see a problem. If you want to talk about something else do it. If you don't want to read Ivy Tech posts don't. Really what is the big deal? How would Ivy Tech posts interfere in anyway with...

  12. IUPUI Second Degree BSN Option?

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to stupidcancer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I have a cousin who will graduate there with his BSN in December. I don't get to see him very often. But, I saw him just a couple of weeks ago. He seems very happy, but he is very busy. He is still...

  13. Indy Star article..

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I did an essay on this subject a couple of semesters back. I agree with frog that it is a combination of things. Old nurses leaving, as well as too few instructors and space, and of course the widely...

  14. Best Ivy Tech Online Courses

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to tlofflan's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Thanks Colt, that was helpful. I will take Chem for my BSN, and was hoping to do it online. I am scared to do any science or math online, but it would be convenient. I will keep this class in

  15. SSACI nursing scholarship

    wishNhopeNdreamN posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    Who else has applied for this? Does anyone have any details when they will announce the awards? Will it show up on Estudent with the other state grants? Has anyone gotten this in the past? if so how...

  16. does age REALLY matter?

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! And how can the fact that someone who is 20 be a better nurse because they are younger? It goes both ways. Don't we need both kinds of nurses? Imagine the possiblilities if they could...

  17. does age REALLY matter?

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    you are right that nursing is hard on the body, and younger bodies are certainly more resilient. but what i don't understand is the argument that just because one is older, that they will not be able...

  18. "No, I am not pregnant"

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to Tysmommy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I didn't read the other responses but I just had to post. My dd who is 17 is slightly overweight carries it all in her middle just like her mama. In the past month she has been asked 3 times whether...

  19. does age REALLY matter?

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think age has anything to do with it. Even if the older (or for that matter younger) nurse only had 5 years to give, and she was an excellent nurse for those five years wouldn't she have made...

    I didn't take any pre reqs online, but I have taken 3 co reqs so far online. SOC 111 ENG 112 COM 102 I took mine from Kokomo. They were all really easy. It was a bit of a curve to get used to doing...

  24. Another Fin. Aid question...

    wishNhopeNdreamN replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I guess this might sound weird, but at this time I am thankful that I have 4 kids still at home to support. It allows me to work full time and also get federal and state money. I might get flamed for...
