The Richmond campus requires us to buy uniforms from the bookstore, but they run really, really small and they can't get any larger sizes from their new supplier. I saw on some postings that others of you from other campujses are getting Ivy Tech sc...

Were the other bookstores bought out by Follett like Richmond campus was? They won't give ISBN numbers anymore. Nice, huh?

Finally, finally, finally financial aid awards are on campus connect. Woohoo!

What is the estudent website? I'm not familiar with it. Can you post or send me a link for it? Thanks!

I think you will still get your full Pell and Higher Ed. Award as long as you don't exceed your cost of attendance minus. This assumes that your estimated family contribution (EFC) is zero. If not, this has to be taken into account as well. Richmon...

We had computer issues too. I tried to register and got a "Major Restriction" or something like that, but no one knew what it was, so I had to do all mine on paper too. Whose group were you in? Wouldn't that be a hoot if we were in the same room t...

I was at Richmond's orientation today too. What sections did you get in to? I have clinicals at Fayette Memorial Hospital in Connersville. That's gonna be a long drive twice a week from Richmond! I tried on the uniforms, but didn't buy any today. ...

:ancong!:

I just nearly wet myself I was laughing so hard at reading your message! I logged in and just automatically clicked to go to the last page to get to the most recent messages and there was yours at the top. I guess I missed the page before because I...

Since I'm just entering nursing school in August, I haven't seen a death in a professional setting (obviously). But I was with both my parents and my brother when they died, so I hope that experience will make it a little easier to deal with my firs...

I don't know about Greencastle, but what questions do you have? There are lots of Ivy Tech folks here who might know some answers.

Don't give up hope yet! I have a friend who was an alternate and was admitted even before the deadline for those admitted to return their acceptance letters. People drop out often for many reasons. Some apply to several schools to raise their chan...

There is one other thing you may want to consider. Were you told to research insulin dependent diabetes or Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes? I am Type 2 diabetic, but I am insulin dependent. And this is not at all uncommon. Type 1 and Type 2 are defini...

A friend of mine who is an RN didn't make a charting error, but what happened was kinda funny nonetheless. She charted that the cardiac patient was SOB. AND THE PATIENT SAW IT! He was enraged and spoke to her supervisor about it! lol :chuckle

I would second the advice about not mentioning it to instructors. I know of a couple of people who were actually failed in their clinicals because they talked too much about their personal/home lives. They had the knowledge and the skills, but thei...

I'd be interested in finding out about this too. It might influence where I'd look for a job when I graduate.

I've just finished my pre-reqs and will be starting the nursing program in August. I'll be 43 next month and I've been through heart bypass surgery. If I can do it (AND I CAN!), then SO CAN YOU! You bring a lifetime of experience to this career th...

Congrats!

Our letter (Richmond campus) didn't say anything specifically about fees to be paid at any time that I recall (but I'm on vacation right now in Orlando so I can't check). I hope everything can come out of my financial aid, or I'm gonna be in real tr...

If you can do a second bachelor's with a BSN in 18 months, I'd go for that. Not only are your job opportunities more varied, but the pay is greater. There may also be a financial aid issue if you finish a bachelor's and then go for an associate's. ...

After having ANP 101 and 102 in the classroom, I can't imagine doing it online. It's just one of those classes where you really need that classroom and lab experience. Hope this helps!

:ancong!: We are gonna rock the Richmond program!

I just got my letter from Richmond and I'M IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clpty:
