  1. Just starting prereqs, single mom of 1, and I work...A&P I and Psych together??

    obicurn replied to GaMBA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is very doable. The only thing to consider is whether or not summer semesters at your school are condensed. At my school, summer semester is only 10 weeks long so you're learning 16 weeks...

  2. considering nursing, but...

    obicurn replied to CLJ1988's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think a little healthy fear is a good thing. If you have no fear or concern, it will be easier to get careless. We are going to be responsible for people's lives and that's not something we should...

  3. Teas Test (Advice-n-Support needed please)

    obicurn replied to snHealingz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Honestly, there wasn't a lot of chem and physics on the test I took. Most of the science was general earth science that you learned in high school. Or if you're like me....slept through in high...

  4. Single Mom, Full Time Job, Starting Nursing at Ivy Tech

    obicurn replied to megared22's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The deadline has passed for this year already..it was April 1, I believe. But save this info for next year. There is a scholarship out there for Ivy Tech students. It's called the The Nina Mason...

  5. Single Mom, Full Time Job, Starting Nursing at Ivy Tech

    obicurn replied to megared22's topic in Indiana Nursing

  6. ATI, PDA, and stethoscope.

    obicurn replied to Tabula-rasa's topic in General Students

    I've been looking for a PDA and I just bought an HP iPaq H4150. I haven't gotten to play with it yet but I will let you

  7. "Must Have" Gear

    obicurn replied to kmm5117's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This made me laugh. My kids run me ragged half the time. They are 10,9,6, and 3. I have a feeling they will be making friends with their PS2 on weekends so Mommy can study!

  8. School + Work + Mom = Goin Nuts?

    obicurn replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it were me.....and it's not, but: I would put my foot so far up my husband's rear, my shoelaces would come out of his mouth. Talk to him and make him realize that you going to school is only going...

  9. Free CNA Programs

    obicurn replied to smedwards78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about free...but most places you can find a nursing home to work for and they will pay for your CNA training as long as you work for them when you are done. At least it's that way around...

  10. There might be hope!!!!!!

    obicurn replied to MisStake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's awesome! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! 5 people could easily change their minds or not get all their requirements completed before late

  11. Letters of Reccomendation

    obicurn replied to Sylina2100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe put in a call to a previous employer and have them fax or mail something for you? Do they have to be from people you are not related to? Maybe a previous instructor or a public figure such as a...

  12. There might be hope!!!!!!

    obicurn replied to MisStake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another thought....even though only 11 have declined the spot, there are likely some that don't bother to call and decline, and just don't show up to class the first day. Maybe they take a spot...

  13. There might be hope!!!!!!

    obicurn replied to MisStake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, we had to score a certain % on each section of the TEAS to even be considered. I know someone that took the TEAS (4.0 student) and just didn't apply herself and she scored in the 40s....

  14. Single Parent In Nursing School?!?!?

    obicurn replied to HartfordSPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    forgot to add...this statement..... "i love:heartbeat my daughter dearly but i want to make nursing school #1 priority right now....." i don't want to sound harsh but here it is: once you have a...

  15. Single Parent In Nursing School?!?!?

    obicurn replied to HartfordSPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am a single parent of 4 kids ranging from 3-10. I've been trying to do this school thing since 1999 and am finally accepted to a nursing program and ready to finish and make life better for my kids....

  16. anatomy/dissecting??

    obicurn replied to dizze98765's topic in Indiana Nursing

    When I took 101, we did a cat for the muscles and things like that. This was way back in 2001 so it may have changed. I believe there were sheep brains also. 102, all we did were kidneys, brains, and...

  17. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    obicurn replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    I got the FSEOG my first year of school. I don't think I had to do anything but file my fafsa and the school automatically gave it to

  18. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    obicurn replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    Ok..i've got the skinny! I just called every single Work One and Work One Express in Indianapolis. I was told that WIA will pay for the last 2 semesters of nursing school only. They said their goal is...

  19. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    obicurn replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    I'm hearing that WIA is a really awesome program. It just doesn't seem right that they only pay for the last semester of nursing school. It is a federal program, isn't it? I'm curious as to why it is...

  20. Ivy Tech Valpo...

    obicurn replied to grace86's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I don't know about Valpo specifics, but your acceptance letter should have had a date for Orientation. Usually you schedule your classes and all that at Orientation. At Indy, we will register for...

  21. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    obicurn replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    I just got an email back from the lady at Work One and she said they only give WIA scholarships to people that are in their last semester of nursing school here. That just doesn't seem right to me so...

  22. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    obicurn replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    I still haven't received an email back so I am going to call today and try to set up an appointment to get the ball rolling. That's probably the best

  23. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    obicurn replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    I emailed the contact listed for Indiana but still haven't heard back yet. I'm really hoping I can get this grant because I was going to apply for the Indiana Nursing Scholarship but I have to sign a...

  24. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    obicurn replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    We have a Work One at my school and I was going to drop in there and talk to them about it. Noone at my school has mentioned this program before and I actually read about it here and did some...

  25. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    obicurn replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    Workforce Investment Act...supposedly pays for the program, books and supplies, and even gas
