    Chubby Nursing Student****

    Lennonninja replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in General Students

    The brand and cut of pants varies wildly. I have some size 10s and 12s that I can wear with one brand, but with another brand, I don't have any hopes of a 10 or 12 because of how they've sized

    How to study for med/surg

    Lennonninja replied to shjoll's topic in General Students

    This may sound silly, but it works for me. I try to relate the disease to an episode of House. Even if that particular diagnosis on the episode was wrong, I'm able to remember it better because...

    Fast Meal Ideas

    Lennonninja replied to Rachelsoon2bRN's topic in General Students

    Buffalo quesadillas?! That sounds SO GOOD! You should try making a buffalo sauce pizza with those Boboli crusts, they're really good :) I tried making chicken enchiladas this week and it was way...

    Ivy Tech LPN to RN or ASN

    Lennonninja replied to sophiejoey's topic in Indiana Nursing

    If you have mostly Bs, depending on which campus you are applying to, the ASN program probably isn't a possibility unfortunately. For my group in Bloomington, the lowest score that was accepted into...

    Lennonninja replied to StudentNurseElle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I like taking my iPod Touch out in the hallway while waiting for the rest of the class. I have a game called GeoDefense and I love killing some bad guys and beating some levels in there. It really...

    Gain or Lose Weight?

    Lennonninja replied to gams77's topic in General Students

    I don't have a scale but I've probably gained 2-4 pounds or so. I don't really eat while studying, it's more that I've been too tired to cook, so there's been a lot of fast food for dinner. And I...

    Ivy Tech, Purdue or IUN?

    Lennonninja replied to Jgarrison's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Have you spoken with admissions counselors? I don't see why Ivy Tech credits wouldn't transfer for rn->bsn... Let us know what you find

    Are A's Impossible at Ivy Tech?

    Lennonninja replied to milan18400's topic in Indiana Nursing

    As are definitely not impossible at Ivy Tech. You might just need a little more time to adjust to this type of classes and tests since you did business classes before. Don't give up

    Lennonninja replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Same thing here. 1 week left before Thanksgiving break and 3 weeks after. Not that I'm counting or anything ;P I'm finding much less motivation to study as hard as I did at the beginning of the...

    Any advice, spanish only speaking pedi patient?

    Lennonninja replied to EDRN-2010's topic in General Students

    Get a Spanish medical dictionary and see if you can both communicate using the dictionary? If you don't speak Spanish, I wouldn't try to figure things out without a translator of some sort. You could...

    What do you wear in lab?

    Lennonninja replied to tiffanyleigh0212's topic in General Students

    We only wear uniforms for clinical. Everything else is whatever you want to wear. I usually wear my scrubs from work since I go to work in the morning and go straight to school from work. (My scrubs...

    Lennonninja replied to toninz's topic in General Students

    I take out my ear piercings (tragus, daith, and industrial are the ones I wear to school) and my tongue piercing for clinical. I've had all of these piercings for almost 10 years so leaving them out...

    Married, no kids here. No real social life except for talking to classmates between classes, and talking to my work friends at work. You couldn't PAY me to go to a bar or a party though, that's never...

    Does anyone know if the Ivy Tech Nursing offers a "slow track" program?

    Lennonninja replied to pinkangellips's topic in General Nursing

    I think your only option would be to call the campuses closest to you and see if any of them offer a part time

    Most useful Pre-reqs

    Lennonninja replied to acubed's topic in General Students

    It would be nice if my school offered medical Spanish but I've looked and not found a listing for it anywhere. I have a BA in Spanish but I don't have that particular set of vocabulary. Maybe I'll...

    Most useful Pre-reqs

    Lennonninja replied to acubed's topic in General Students

    I think that Microbiology and Advanced Physiology (A&P 3 at my school) have both been tremendously helpful so far. I can't imagine going through this without having those classes
