muncieLPN34

Well...I am in the same boat as all of you were...I have been an LPN for 3 years. Just sat for my RN on Monday, June 1st 2009. My test shut off at 75 questions and I think I read the last one wrong and it seemed easy and I think now that i answered it wrong. I was so overwhelmed when I started. It started with a disease I knew nothing about and got harder from there. Then got easier..then harder..then last few seemed easy..and i have heard that this isn't good. I was not able to take the Kaplan so I kept doing ATI's. I do not feel confident at all that I passed. And of course not results as of yet. Keep me in your prayers please, and I am very sick from all of this! Thanks, Jill in Indiana

I had one A, 2 B's, and one C, and a TEAS of I think high 70's and got in the Muncie program in 2005. I am just finishing the transitional RN program now. I had 2 A's and 2 B's and a TEAS of 82% for that one. I retook the class I had a C in and ended up with an A to get into the transitional. So if you can make it into the LPN, it is not as hard to get into the transitional RN usually.

OK, I will probably sound like an idiot for this question, but here go's anyway. I am an LPN and have been for a bit over 2 years now. Have worked in LTC, and now am on psych. I have not witnessed any codes. I am in RN school and have 2 semesters left. I always imagine myself working in a critical care unit, not sure why. I do love adrenaline rushes, maybe that is why. But I also love to bond w/ my pts. My biggest fear is a code. What exactaly is the nurses responsibility in a code situation? I know you obviously maitain the ABC's, but what do you do after the team arrives? When someone is "recording", what does that mean? I'm assuming it means documenting everything that is said and done, but how could you possibly "record" all that chaos? Any insight into the nurses dutys in a code siutation would be greatly appreciated. I feel my assessment skills are good for a fairly new nurse, but I am terrified of the "code" situation. Thanks, Jill:bow:

Congratulations...And it looks like you will only have to take another of the science classes like you said..ANP201, Chem, orPhysics...You can pick one, cause you only have to have 2 now instead of all 4, and you already have the Micro done. Then you will just have a 1 credit hour class to pick from that is a sinch. They are something like IvyTech LifeSkills classes. There are several to choose from and in Muncie they let us pick. But you don't have to have either of those done to apply for transitional program. I am currently in it in Muncie. They only classes they use for scores when you apply are: ANP 101 ANP 102 PSY 101 ENG 111 And then they take your highest TEAS score too. You also get 3 points added when applying if you are in that schools district. Jill:up:

Ok all, I just got online to view the syllabus for online Chem 101, and I'm freaken. I just ordered my book, well actually won it on Ebay yesterday, so I wont be getting it until sometime this week if I'm lucky. But after viewing the first chapter he has posted online, I think I may have gotten the wrong book. Is it the one w/ the big, white flower on it by Bettelheim? Mine says it was published in 2006, but his online says 2004, so now I am worried I have the wrong book. Also, the one I won on ebay did not mention a bundle pack, and a solutions manual. I did purchase the PIN online. Do I really need the solutions manual? I am so broke right now, my financial aid is not through yet d/t diffidulties w/ financial aid office. Anyway, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jill:bow:

Howdy Stranger, No, I do not have to take Pharm!..Thank God! I just have my transition class and then the Chem. So 8 credit hours. And now that I am going to Muncie, we are only going 3 days a week for an 8 week session...YEAH! Orientation was kind of unorganized...LOL..Just like I remember the LPN orientation. I sure am nervous about this Chem class though. Did you get my email I sent you last week? Anyway, hope all is going well. Jill:up:

Hello all, I am taking Chem 101 online this summer from South Bend campus. Does anyone know where to get a used book? Thanks, Jill:bowingpur:up:

Brenda, I am taking Micro in person at Muncie. I love it so much. The labs are the best. Well, I did it!! I just signed up for the Intro Chemistry too and dropped the ANP201. LOL...If this guy does give you the notes and it is pretty easy to follow, I better take it while I can. So I am in with you. Do you think I can handle doing the Interpersonal Communications for the psych online this summer as well? How many assignments did you have in communications? Was there alot of papers to write? Do you remember who you had for either comm. or psych online? Well, we are all ready to jump in again, like it or not! So I'll prepare to hold on for what i'm sure will be a bumpy ride. Tootles, Jill:up:

Brenda, Thank you so much for all your help. But can I please have the Muncie schedule back?...LOL..It sounded better....Oh well, it is what it is. So it sounds like I guess I should take something a bit more easy in the summer...LOL..When are you taking the online Chemistry? And how can we be sure to get that instructor you mentioned everyone likes so much? Astlavista, Jill:bugeyes:

Brenda, I can not find where to look that info up. I am going to Marion remember? We had to apply at Muncie and they picked which college you attend according to addresses. And since I don't have a Muncie address, they put me in Marion. Can you tell me how to look up Marion? I'm lost...LOL...I tried but with no luck as of yet. Thanks, Jill:bow:

Brenda, My orientation is not until April 22nd. Which is another reason I am not sure how to proceed with my 3 co-reqs that I still need to complete. I suppose if I call the office they may advise me of which to take if any for summer semester. I am in micro right now as well. I attend class at muncie campus and i absolutely love it. I'm so confused though as to what to do about the 3 co-reqs. Oh the stresses, will they ever end?...LOL:cry: Jill:banghead:

:bow:Brenda, No I am not planning on going for my BSN. But I will only have my Microbiology done out of the 2 science classes we have to choose. My friend who went through the transitional a few years back had to have all 4 of them. And she advised doing the ANP 201 instead of Chem or Physics. She said it was much easier. She also said the summer session of transitional was really easy, just the tranition to RN class which she said was basically a waste of time. So I just figured it would be best to take the extra class in summer. I still have to do the extra psychology and interpersonal communications. So I wanted to take one extra class a semester, as to not be too overwhelmed. Any info you have though is greatly appreciated. Let me know if you know any different. I want to plan this the best I can, but I have never me with an acutal advisor all through school. Thanks Jill:bow:

:up:Mrs Frog or anyone who took ANP 201 online, I signed up for the online ANP 201 today in Muncie, it says it is out of Terre Haute. My question is this; why does it have a day and time on it if it is an online class? Don't they offer this class totally online? I thought peope said they took it online and only had to go to one lab day in Terry Haute, but it has Wed. from like 8a-11a down as time of class. So, i'm a bit confused rifht now, cause I thought you could take it totally online, and I would like to. I start the transitional program this summer, and still need ANP 201. Thanks, Jill:bow:

Hello, I recieved an 82.5% on the TEAS, and 2 A's and 2 B's and got in Muncie's transitional RN program. I have been an LPN for 2 years this May. I just got my letter last week. Good Luck, Jill:up:

Yes....I got it today!...I GOT IN!!!!!!!...LOL:yeah:..But remember how I told you they take apps for Marion and Muncie? They let 20 in Muncie and 20 in Marion, and they decide where you go according to the city you live in? Well, I live a few miles outside of Muncie, so I got chosen for the Marion campus. Which is still ok, cause it's only about 35-40 mins away from me. I don't care...Just know I have no more waiting...Now to try and keep good grades will be the challenge. I did greatin LPN never below a B, but i'm sure it is a different story now. Thanks for you support, Jill

Brenda, I'm in Micro right now and love it. I do attend class at the Muncie campus. I still will need another of the health science classes to equal 2 of the 4 that you can choose from. I don't want to do chemistry, and I don't remember what the other option was, so I am planning on taking the advanced physiology next semester. Is advanced Anatomy one of the options? LOL..I don't remember, just know I will need another one. Jill

Has anyone met Janice Webster? I don't recall if all of you have had her online or in person. I think I may have had her for ANP2 about 4 years ago. If it is her, she is wonderful, but at that time she didn't teach online classes. Does anyone know anything about her? Does she have short dark brown hair,and also coach a womans ice hockey team or something like that?...LOL That is what I remember of her if it is her. If so, I will consider taking my Advanced physiology from her. I think I saw that she taught that online as well. Thanks for any input, Jill:up:

Brenda, Did you get accepted to Columbus as well? And how did you already know the answer? They are so tight lipped at Muncie even after making us sweat all this time. Thanks for all the support, Jill p.s. Do you know if they send letters if you don't get in too?

Hey Brenda, Still no word...LOL...I did get a date yesterday when I called. The secretary said the letters will be going out this Thursday. So should know by the weekend if they really get them out. Why are they trying to make us all crazy? GEESH! Jill:bugeyes:

Brenda, I had 82.5% on TEAS, and 2 A's, and 2 B's. And I had my app. in a couple weeks before it was due. I am in 2 of my coreq's right now. I have on other done, the math which I only got a C in. They just say when I call that they are working on getting them out, but have not sent any as of yet. So I will just keep my finger's crossed and pray. That looks kinda silly doing, but I am kinda silly about now!..LOL:smokin: Jill

Brenda, No, it wasn't the program chair, but I have called 3 diff times over the past couple of weeks, and got diff. people and the same answer. No, they haven't sent them out yet...LOL..What was the dead line they were supposed to have them out? I was sure I saw a paper w/ a dealine for letters. Anyway, I can't believe they told you over the phone...Lucky Duck!!!! I guess what will be will be, and not amount of speeding it up will change whatever the answer is. So I will hope and pray for a good one...LOL..And Muncie takes 40 for transitional. But you know you always hear people talking about they got int he 90's and have all A's on prereqs, so you never now.... Send in the TROOPS!!!

Hey Brenda, Listen to this...I called Muncie again this morn. I didn't sleep a wink last night. The lady who answered said. "No, we haven't sent them out yet, we are trying for this week, but if not we will deff. have them out next week." What the heck is up w/ that? ...LOL..We had to have our crap in by the deadline, now why arent' they abiding to their deadline?:angryfire Well, back to the bottle and candy bars...I will be an official ancoholic and 500lbs after all is said and done, and I wont be able to peform as a nurse....LOL Jill:bugeyes:

Brenda, Still no letter as of today. As of last Weds Muncie still had not sent them out. I will harrass them tomorrow once again and call them. Don't they all have a deadline they are supposed to mail them by? I was not so nervous before, but now I am beginning to get that burning feeling in the pit of my stomach...Oh well..at least now I wont eat everything in site...LOL:cry: Kate...Those are awsome scores. Your TEAS, and your grades are great to get in the program. Esp. if you get an A or B on your last pre req. GOOD LUCK...I'm sure you'll get in! Jill:bugeyes:

Brenda...Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm getting a little worried...Although as of Wed they hadn't sent them out...and every day seems like 7...So maybe tomorrow. I am stalking the mailman though! So they may take the to the crazy house. And my new comforter of choice is FOOD...LOL Plenty of junk food! Kate...How did you do on your TEAS if I may ask? And your 4 prereqs? Are you applying for the traditional RN or transitional(LPN to RN) Just curious..Oh and where are you applying..Which campus? Anyway...Good Luck to you too... Jill:up:

Brenda, I thought about you today at work...LOL...I broke down and called Muncie IvyTech again...and of course they have not sent out their letters yet. But I knew at least you were getting yours, and I was pretty sure you would get in. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Keep your fingers crossed for me and my sanity! Good Luck, Jill:yeah:
