    What's the deal with med-surg?

    Lennonninja replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    It might be that it's not the workload (as a student) in MS clinicals that terrifies people, it's the whole teacher watching your every move that might be making people nervous. When it's just me and...

    Lennonninja replied to SummerTimeCCRN's topic in Critical Care

    I would LOVE to be able to find out who my patient is and what their diagnosis is the day before. At my school, you show up for clinical and get your assignment first thing and hit the ground

    Lennonninja replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Is working during Nursing School a good idea?

    Lennonninja replied to BtownRNHopeful12's topic in General Students

    I worked all through my first year of school, and plan to work through my final year as well. We can't afford our bills if I don't work also, so there was never an option of not working. I've been...

    Ivy Tech 'Fall 2010' Applicants

    Lennonninja replied to Emmi7's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Unfortunately, it's not as easy as just opening more spots. There's a shortage of nursing instructors and Ivy Tech doesn't pay their entry level nursing instructors very much (the director of the...

    Lennonninja replied to candyjal's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Yep, each campus you're applying to, you must go to a session for it. It's lame, but there might be region specific information that you don't want to

    eng 211 online?

    Lennonninja replied to my2girlskk's topic in Indiana Nursing

    If Eng 211 is Tech Writing, it's a total breeze. I couldn't imagine taking it for a whole 16 weeks, it would have been sooo long and boring. It took it in a summer session with ANP 102 and it was...
