  1. Monitor Tape Reading?

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse so I know I won't be able to get into a nursing class (I wish). Don't get me started on that sad story. I will see if a non nurse class is offered. I am surprised a unit clerk...

  2. Monitor Tape Reading?

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

    Actually it was called rhythm strip interuptation? Not sure what department - I didn't get past the preinterview, since I didn't have this class. I thought unit clerks did more secretarial type...

  4. Anyone starting clinicals this fall, and where?

    IU, Purdue and Ball State and Indiana State and Vincennes University and all the others have selective admission as well. Just as difficult to get into as Ivy Tech. Ivy Tech has control over almost...

  5. Winona Hospital Closing

    tonicareer posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    With the poor economy in Indiana - how many other hospitals will be closing in the next few years? I know many hospitals are laying off nurses and other staff. I think many of these people will have...

    tonicareer replied to NurseExplorer's topic in Online Distance Learning

  7. Roadblocks and Choices

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I know all the school options already. I have been at this for a long time. The problem is Indiana simply does not have enough LPN programs or ADN programs. The BSN programs are scarce also and the...

  8. Roadblocks and Choices

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Well I could walk out on my family respondsibilities but I do not want to lol. That would not be fair to them. Also take into account that if I could move out of state then I would have to pay out...

  9. Del Mar/Texas A&M program

    tonicareer replied to NurseExplorer's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It sound like a good program for those who live in Texas but I cannot see Indiana allowing nurses to learn this much online. I am sure you have to have labs and practicums and I don't think Indiana...

  11. how much Indiana nurses make

    tonicareer replied to nurseluv9's topic in Indiana Nursing

  12. Why isn't Indiana joining Compact?

    tonicareer replied to Town & Country's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Indiana is so behind the times of the other states it is ridiculous. No wonder we have a brain drain and are losing jobs to other countries. This state needs to wake up and smell the

  13. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    tonicareer replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    My state has 5 times more MA programs than Lpn programs. That is why so many people do become MAs. Actually the MA program is 60 hours of credit and the LPN is 52 hours of credit. I keep asking why...

  14. How much Training?

    tonicareer posted a topic in General Nursing

  17. Blooddraw Techniques

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

  21. Indiana Information

    tonicareer replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing
