    Good for you. I know they are pricey - but depending on your circumstances I am sure you will be

  2. The aide is also the unit secretary! How???

    tonicareer replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    They switched over to this here too. Unit secretary was a good job for the disabled here - then they were laid off because they can't do the CNA duties. I quess it saves the hospital bucks to make...

    tonicareer replied to new_mom26's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Program is about 7500 - up front - FA is available but I don't qualify. They recommend another 3000 for extras. Full time and intense program Monday through Friday. They don't want you to work...

  4. Marion Community School of Practical Nursing

    tonicareer replied to new_mom26's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Marion community school won't accept any transfer from Ivy tech or any other college - so might just waste your money doing that. You have to retake all classes at mcs. I am not sure what they...

  5. Roadblocks and Choices

    tonicareer posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    It is obvious that Indiana does not have enough nursing programs. Many are way too expensive and others just don't have enough space available. Ivy Tech seems to be constantly raising fees for the...

  6. Roadblocks and Choices

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    St Elizabeth is a 4 year program full time - no summers would take me 3 to 4 years - college way above any limits on scholarships offered or loans combined - hospital scholarship was for already...

  7. Brown Mackie College

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Anyone know anything about Brown Mackie? I have heard they are expensive - very. Ivy Tech has 300 to 800 per available slot - many with the highest scores just like me - so lots of people don't get...

  8. Roadblocks and Choices

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    No lots of people with high scores/grades/points do not get into Ivy Tech even when they apply correctly!!!!!!! Not everyone lives in Indianapolis - other critera are used - and many more qualified...

  9. Roadblocks and Choices

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I looked at the fast paced/accelerated programs - very limited enrollment and again very expensive. I cannot get Student loans for a bachelor degree since I already have a bachelor degree in another...

  10. Roadblocks and Choices

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I don't live near the Michigan border and it is still a competitive program just like Ivy Tech - might take years to get into. Looked at massage therapy - Indiana requires a license - 2 year...

  11. IVy Tech Students

    tonicareer replied to Curious0599's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Sure is! They accept no transfer credit from any college - you must retake all classes. You must pay all the money upfront before beginning classes (like 10,000 bucks). You must be available for...

  12. Roadblocks and Choices

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Sunny John - yes Instate tuition in other states is cheaper - but you have to live in those states between 1 and 2 years to qualify for instate tuition - I like how you have seen how bad Indiana is....

  13. Roadblocks and Choices

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    If I had the money for Deaconess and plane tickets - I would just enroll at a private traditional college. Money is also a major factor for most students. Please do not tell me about financial aid -...

    tonicareer replied to montinurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Ivy Tech has selective admission into it's nursing program - they have a packet of info they can give you with the details for either LPN or RN. All nursing programs in Indiana are selective (in...

  15. Can I challenge the RN boards?

    tonicareer replied to jodyangel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know Indiana doesn't allow any challenging either of LPN or RN or anything else. I spoke to some idiot at a CC here who told me to begin an RN program at a state college and then challenge the LPN...

  16. Alternative Student Loans

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses. Well I was hoping this would work for me - but your answers and the research I have done indicate I would not qualify without a cosigner - (no relatives will do that). So I...

  17. Alternative Student Loans

    tonicareer posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone applied through them? It does not need a FAFSA. Are this alternative loans only for people who own a house or property? Or have rich cosigners? Or already have great jobs and money in the...

  18. Alternative Student Loans

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone know anything about these

  19. Orientation, what orientation!!

    tonicareer replied to LPN01112005's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sounds too risky for me. Time to get that resume made and look for a new job pronto. Make sure you line up something and can give a 2 week notice. There has to be something better than that place....

    tonicareer posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a new neighbor/friend who wants to return to school but is in default on student loans (bad marriage and he wouldn't let her have money to pay them) she is trying to support herself and kids...

  21. Ivy Tech Question

    tonicareer replied to mycorysmom's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Unfortunately if you go out of state to school it is very expensive to pay out of state tuition. That KY program sounds great for those who can get into

  22. Student Loans

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

    He doesn't even want to pay child support - she is jumping through hoops to get that. She is applying for assistance programs - childcare - long waiting list, food stamps - they will help make her...

  23. Student Loans

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

    She knows this - but the default is preventing her from getting anything to go back to school at all - she can't register for classes anywhere. The default will last more than 10 years - it will last...
