  1. Memphis Hospitals Starting Pay

    Can anyone tell me the starting pay for new RN grads at hospitals in the Memphis area?
  2. Waiting on Ivy Tech acceptance letters thread

    I am in Terre Haute. Please don't get so uptight...you will make it. Get uptight once you are in. Then you will have a reason to! Pharmacology is a bear. The testing now emulates NCLEX questioning...aka...more than one right answer. You pick th...
  3. Waiting on Ivy Tech acceptance letters thread

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but I went to class with somebody that got a 98 on the teas with all A's in the prereqs! Don't get too worried though. Last year I was in the same spot waiting for my letter. We didn't get them until the middle of June. Fo...
  4. RN or LPN?

    Definately go for the RN. It is only one more semester than the LPN. If you transition to RN after getting the LPN, it is 3 semesters just to transition.
  5. Best Ivy Tech Online Courses

    After being out of school for 34 years, I took 12 semester hours at first. I believe the second semester was 9, and then 6...had to stretch out to wait for the grant help.
  6. Best Ivy Tech Online Courses

    I liked it better online than going to campus! You did have to go to campus for tests and the one time big lab. The other labs were virtual online from your home computer. The final was on all the at home labs.
  7. I have a couple of questions.

    I worked full time and did all prereq's online...except advanced physiology (not available online), it is possible. As for being accepted with a c in one of the core 4...I don't believe so. I was accepted at Terre Haute and it was way to competitiv...
  8. Fall semster

    I finally got the books yesterday.....my thoughts exactly...uh oh!
  9. Ivy Tech Thread

    In Terre Haute they are telling us at the bookstore that there is some kind of problem and not all financial aid is posted at the bookstore yet. Wouldn't you know it.....I am one that is not posted. Now it's try back in the middle of the week! The...
  10. Ivy Tech Thread

    I only applied once to get in. I made sure all pre-reqs were done and retook ANP101 over to get an A before applying.
  11. SSACI nursing scholarship

    I did get it. It is the Frank O'Bannon Grant. The school automatically submits an application for you if you qualify for FAFSA. It is not posted until almost a month after school starts. Since it can only be used for tuition and books with no ref...
  12. Ivy Tech Thread

    Does anyone know when we can get our books if using financial aid? The bookstore at IT told me we could not get them yet. It would be posted statewide when we could. The online bookstore says the 11th. Is this the same for campus bookstores?
  13. Best Ivy Tech Online Courses

    I took every pre-req online except advanced physiology which was not offered online. I took all of them through the Terre Haute campus. Did not find any of them intimidating. You just have to be very self-disciplined and basically teach yourself!
  14. Another Fin. Aid question...

    Financial aid finally got posted today after calling two days in a row and last week. I didn't even get an email telling me to accept....I surfed the sight and found unsatisfied requirements. When I clicked on it, it was accepting the award. I did...
  15. Another Fin. Aid question...

    Do not ever feel bad about getting financial aid. Think of it this way. You have worked for many years...or will in the future. Part of the taxes you pay will repay that aid. I am 55 and going through school now because I am tired of living paych...
  16. Another Fin. Aid question...

    I will be full time in school and still have to work. Car payments, insurance, etc still go on. I will have to move in with somebody though to help cut they housing expense!
  17. Ivy Tech Thread

    Yes, it is okay they say. This is just a new procedure that was just implemented this semester that they didn't even know about until they researched it when I called. They also said there were a lot of students who haven't posted yet and they are ...
  18. Ivy Tech Thread

    I haven't gotten mine either. There is no hold, but they had to email somebody about something which is new this year and they didn't do until last Friday when I called them. They are waiting to receive an email back. I wish it would post soon, I ...
  19. Financial Aid...waiting..waiting.........

    I haven't had mine posted. I called financial aid and they have no idea why. They informed me they have to email the main branch. When you applied, on the sar it should have your efc. Just call financial aid and tell them what your efc is and the...
  20. Financial Aid...waiting..waiting.........

    It cost me $125. for two scrub tops, one lab coat, and the 2 sets of patches to put on the sleeves.....and it was just standard sizes. You got away with $70.?
  21. Financial Aid...waiting..waiting.........

    I know what you mean. I have paid for everything but the tuition and the books. They said we can't use financial aid to pay for the books until after the 4th of August. We had to order the scrubs from a company and pay TOP dollar out of our pocket...
  22. Itawamba Community College

    I am not sure what you mean by challenging into the program. I did email the program director about transferring and she told me there are almost never any transfer openings. Could you explain what challenging is?
  23. Itawamba Community College

    I was thinking of applying to Itawamba for the RN program. I have done all my schooling thus far in Indiana. Five of the prerequisites here are actually in the clinicals there. I got accepted here, so I am starting the clinicals here. If they wou...
  24. Ivy Tech Thread

    I took it online. Both 1 and 2. I did not have to order a fetal pig. We had quizzes which were open book online. They were based on the material from the Pierson website and questions that were to be done in the study guide. Then we had to go to...
