I started a weekend option hospice job 8 months ago after working medsurg for 5 years and then ER for 5 years. I work saturday 0800 to monday at 0800. I have to say I do love being off all week but i'm already thinking of a career change. Weekends ca...

I am in ISU's online LPN to BSN program which recquires 2 semesters of foreign language. My local community college, Ivy Tech in IN, offers Spanish 1&2 online but I am scared of what I might encounter. Has anyone taken Spanish online and if so wh...

Stressed? Me? That is putting it mildly:rolleyes: I took almost all of my prereq courses through Ivy Tech...to me it is much simpler to do it that way than trying to study for a test out or trying an impromtu speech...acckk. I was told that there are...

I was at work last night trying to finish the reading from this week @ 2 a.m. when I clicked on module 3...yikes! I did nearly have a coronary (no pun intended:)) I actually enjoyed chapter 8 but chapter 9 gives me a headache:confused: I have taken ...

Have you taken 450? and if so have you graduated from ISU or are you about to graduate? Chelle

You are funny...my friend April, who is also in our class, told me that it is really hard...I'm still working on finishing my Stats for this week...frequency distribution tables....ugghh and then I am starting on 424....sound like a fun Saturday huh?...

Check and see with your clep, I believe the one you want to schedule is called Freshman Eglish Comp...there are a couple different english exams and according to to transfer sheet I think the Freshman is the one you wan to take...just check it out. I...

Yes, they had said that 450 would most likely be offered in the summer but then Jeanine looked at the number of people who had completed their test outs and said that it didn't look likely...there had to be 15 people who wanted to take the course *an...

Most definately the CSM will be enough...just know it well and study the practice exams. The exam was tough but after taking it I realized that the material I needed to know was all in the study guide.

What do I mean by a "test out"? There are four courses, challenge exams, I call them test outs that you study for (either on your own or by buying the CSM material) then take an exam (you have two tries) and if you pass you essentially "test out" of ...

Is 106 the Mental Health test out? If so, then yes, I used the CSM material and did fine...study the material and study the practice exam...I think quite a few questions were the same. I have applied for a fall '09 graduation....I am taking 14 credit...

When I went to school to become an LPN our IV therapy class was very basic. We practiced on a dummy arm but were not allowed to practice on each other. My real IV experience came from working. There is really nothing like the real thing and practice,...

Chaxanmom-Do you mind if I say that I think you are nuts:D Do you work too? I work full time and I really don't think I can handle 424 and 450 at the same time....I am also finishing my last two prereqs (spanish II and statistics) so two heavy nursin...

Hi all...just checking in with my fellow ISU classmates:wink2: I am so excited to be starting class this spring, I will be graduating this fall, Dec. '09 and I feel like I am finally on the home stretch. It has been a long road but one that will be s...

I have questions for those of you doing clinicals at your place of employment. I have done mine so far at the hospital I work at, I am in NUR324 right now so I have the 400's to finish, but the director at my hospital is not wanting myself and anothe...

I just took and passed 224. It wasn't too difficult but the study guide is a huge help. I was lucky enough to find someone locally who let me borrow theirs and it made all the difference in knowing the material that was on the test. I have two more t...

I satisfied my computer information systems requirement by taking a course at Ivy Tech Community College, CIS101, very easy I thought. Sometimes I have found that it is just easier to take a course for a semester then to spend tons of time studying f...

If I could get the CSM for phase II I would be really excited...has anyone seen those on Amazon? I looked but didn't see them. Michelle

They are available at the ISU library to be copied but I have not found anyone willing to do that. Some people have them but they are apparently thick and would be difficult to copy. I simply cannot afford to buy them, the College Network wants to ch...

It depends on which GE credits you are testing out of and where you will be testing. For instance, if you are testing out of Lifespan Development, you will be taking a CLEP test, CLEP test centers can be found at www.collegeboard.com which is the CLE...

I would talk directly to ISU about it but a friend of mine had a similar situation and they did not accept any of her nursing credits. My friend had completed Excelsiors program and then failed the clinical, as so many do. She then started the ISU pr...

Linda, I am glad to hear from you. My name is Michelle and I am a current BSN student. There are a lot of new students but very few who are further along in the program. When I talked to ISU @ 6 months ago I was told that there had only been @ 6 gra...

When I started I had part of phase one complete, but still had a few prereqs to do. To complete phase one, two, and three will probably take me close to three years in the end. I have taken 2-4 courses each semester but what really starts to slow you...

Just heard back from Dr. Miller, they will accept Dantes Stats but...I did some reading and I don't think statistics is an easy course to test out of....not impossible but not a breeze either. Ever heard of this site http://www.instacert.com/ ? I th...

Dantes offers a Statistics test out. I am emailing Dr. Miller right now to ask and see if it will be accepted. ISU accepts other Dantes exams so I don't see why they wouldn't accept this one. Michelle
