  1. IU health and the disappearance of evening shift diff

    rockexrolloh replied to libran1984's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Ball still has night shift

  2. Loans for living expenses?!

    rockexrolloh posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all. I am applying to the nursing program this April for the fall. I won't find out if I am accepted into the program until this summer, but I need to fill out my FAFSA and am usually offered...

  3. Cost of living loans and paying them back?

    rockexrolloh posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    Hello all. I am applying to the nursing program this April for the fall. I won't find out if I am accepted into the program until this summer, but I need to fill out my FAFSA and am usually offered...

  4. Is nursing really a dirty job?

    rockexrolloh replied to xobeeautiful's topic in General Students

    Like others have mentioned, it depends on what type of nursing you want to do. You could have a job as a nurse that doesn't involve direct patient care, but you would still have to go through it in...

  5. Clinicals??

    rockexrolloh replied to NStiger88's topic in General Students

    My first clinical was in a nursing home. I volunteered to do evening clinicals (3p - 11p) but most clinicals at my school are 7a - 3:30p. We would have a pre-conference before we started our day. This...

  6. Gearing up for next semester : )

    rockexrolloh replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    Jpeters, we had to do 2 ATI tests last semester or we couldn't go on. However, if we didn't pass, we got to remediate on our own. It was easy. If your school is the same, I wouldn't worry about

  7. Hi, I'm screwed

    rockexrolloh replied to Snowii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with everyone else and that you should try not to take as many science classes all at once. It's hard enough just to keep up with one! I did want to add that I failed EVERY single class I took...

  8. Would you take this job?

    rockexrolloh replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Well, it seems like you kind of have your mind made up after reading this: "I didn't spend the last 3 years banging my head against a wall so I could work 2 jobs." I think you should keep looking....

  9. Starting to doubt everything...anyone else?

    rockexrolloh posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in my second semester of nursing school and I am seriously doubting everything right now. I get good grades and I love clinicals but I know that real world nursing is completely different. My...

  10. Starting to doubt everything...anyone else?

    rockexrolloh replied to rockexrolloh's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I am feeling a bit better about things today. I thought about volunteering at a Children's Hospital but the nearest one is a little over an hour away. I honestly can't...

  11. Gearing up for next semester : )

    rockexrolloh replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I will be starting my second semester this spring. I have Med Surg II lecture and clinicals at our hospital. I think our Med. Surg. clinical is on a floor dealing with neuro. Then we have Maternal...

  12. Problem with letters for SNT

    rockexrolloh posted a topic in General Students

    I just got hired as an SNT (student nurse tech). I am excited and was told I would be starting next week. Problem is, I need two letters of recommendation from 2 instructors or I will not be able to...

  13. Problem with letters for SNT

    rockexrolloh replied to rockexrolloh's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the reply. I just went and explained everything and was told it didn't matter, if I don't have BOTH, I can't start. Guess it just wasn't meant to

  14. How many new nurses are seriously thinking about quiting?

    rockexrolloh replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, since someone already revived this thread, I'll go ahead and say that you guys really know how to turn off a nursing student. Hah. I am now terrified and second guessing my career choices. Thank...

  15. No She/he Did Not!!!

    rockexrolloh replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    hahaha. that is

  16. Ivy Tech score to get in and program mean??

    rockexrolloh posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying to Ivy Tech's ASN program this April. I took my TEAS today and only got a 78.2%. I did extremely well in English and Reading. I was in the 90th percentile. The Math and Science is what...

  17. Ivy Tech score to get in and program mean??

    rockexrolloh replied to rockexrolloh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, you sent me a message but I figured I'd respond here. I only got like a 73 the first time but I studied and took it again and scored an 85. I checked out books about other nursing entrance exams...

  18. Working while in Nursing school

    rockexrolloh replied to ZootRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    We sound a lot alike minus the two job ordeal. I'm 20 and work part time (25 hours a week) and start nursing school in 10 days. I live with my mom, however, I help support both of us. I am completely...

  19. Financial Aid...waiting..waiting.........

    rockexrolloh replied to Innurse78's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I just checked mine (somehow it let me check it at 2 am..) and don't have it either. Now I'm

  20. Financial Aid...waiting..waiting.........

    rockexrolloh replied to Innurse78's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Mrs.frog I'm in the same boat you are. It's aggravating. They told us if our classes aren't paid for the first day, we're dropped from the program. Well, I can't pay it without a Stafford Loan so it's...

  21. Loan process

    rockexrolloh replied to kgle's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Okay, I just called my financial aid office. The lady told me that there is a new procedure to apply for Stafford loans this year and there would be an announcement on Campus Connect telling everyone...

  22. Loan process

    rockexrolloh replied to kgle's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I am going to lose it. Okay, so I tried to apply for my Stafford loan and the opennet website didn't give me the option; it would only allow me to apply for a private loan. It also kept saying it...

  23. Loan process

    rockexrolloh replied to kgle's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Do any of you take out unsubsidized? Everyone (outside of the nursing program) is telling me not to take them out, but I heard you get more if you do and I need money to live off of! For whatever...

  24. Loan process

    rockexrolloh replied to kgle's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Yikes. I hope I put that on my FAFSA. I am never approved for any kind of grant which is ridiculous because we're struggling. Anyway, now I'm nervous that I won't be able to get my Stafford loan if I...

  25. Loan process

    rockexrolloh replied to kgle's topic in Indiana Nursing

    How do you get that much on Stafford Loans? I go through the Sallie Mae website that Ivy Tech tells their students to use but last semester I only got $1500. That isn't even enough to buy books for...
