Hi everyone, I am thinking about applying to St.Francis in Crown Point, IN. Is there any nursing students that go to the school or anyone who is looking into it? So far I think it is a nice program and everyone I have spoke with there seem pretty nic...

Wow! I am really surprised to hear that, all I have heard is good things about the school and Nursing program.

I was gonna go to Itt in Merrivile myself in Sept. I changed my mind and told them to give my seat to someone else. I just prefer to go to a school that is already fully accredited. Good luck to you.

Does anyone know what the lowest a person can get but still be able to apply for Ivy Tech? Also I have the old Teas ATI book, is that the one everyone is talking about you need to study?

Hi, I am also thinking about tranferring from Ivy tech to St. Francis in Crown Point. I am taking psych201 and intro to sociology this semester, next semester I am taking chem 101. I will apply to the program for Fall 2011. That is the earliest I can...

DECISION IS IN: I decided to give my spot to whoever else wants it. I did sooooo much research on Itt and just didn't want to waste my time nor money. I decided to go to USF.

The ATI book I have. Are you talking about the one for the TEA's or another one? I have the one for the TEA's already.

I have taken all the prereqs already, this semester I am taking psych 201 and sociology. I needed chem 101 but it was closed. I am gonna be at Ivy Tech this semester and next. The only thing I have to do is pass that darn teas test. Hey I took math 1...

Thank you all for thw support. I have a question for you all....I was thinking about going to St. Francis University in Crown Point, Indiana (very good school). However, they charge 692 a credit hr because they are a non for profit private school. Yo...

I decided not to go to ITT Tech. It is just so much going on with the school and I don't want to have a RN license and be limited to the jobs I can get due to the school I graduated from. I also don't want to hold a RN license that I can't build on a...

I want to thank you very much for this info, I did not know this. I am so upset because this is information ITT Tech didn't tell me or other prospective students. I will most def bring this up with the other things at orientation. I don't think I am ...

OMG, That is my story with the praying and stressing. I said the same prayer, if I pass this test and get in then that is where the lord wants me to be. And guess what I got in. I got sick because I was so stressed and confused at the last minute. I ...

Hi I recently got accepted in Itt Tech's rn program and I am a little bit worried. I know they are in candancy to get NLNAC accredidation but have to wait til the 1st class graduates and takes the boards in 2012. I have read a few post where people g...

I work for a hospital owned by physicians. I make $12.30 hr eve shift, if I work midnight shift $14.80hr. Weekends $15.25hr. plus incentive for xtra shifts we pick up.

I agree, I have never heard of a CNA making that much money, not event working for agebcy or home health.

Where are you from? I have never known of a CNA to make that much, not even working for agency.

Wow great CNA pay, that is like LPN pay in Indiana

There is a big difference from CNA and MA. I CNA mainly does bedside care,etc. A CNA can not draw blood, give injections, start IV's ( If MA most can't start IV's but some have the training for it). There is a lot that an MA can do that a CNA can't. ...

What childrens home do u wrk in. I love working with children but never had the opportunity. By the way where I work we have the most plane khaki uniforms. Sometimes I wear navy blue but that is plane to. I wear very comfy shoes (Merrels) because I w...

OMG this is something that gets under my skin big time. Another thing is when you need to get pts vitals for the DR and pt ask can you come back because they are on the phone. Excuse me, I am here to take care of you and get you better so you can go ...

I also agree with the others. To long and the order needs to be most recent and so on. Also when you do a resume you want it to stand out right away and be easy to read. If I was an HR director I would give this resume one look and toss it to the sid...

Yes I did do a lot of research and calling around believe me. I was going to change my mind and go to St. Francis University in Crown Point, In but I decided against that school because it's to expensive and I already was accepted in to Itt Tech's pr...

I did get the book and the book was not good. You said that Itt Tech students may not be able to sit for boards. NOT TRUE. ITT Tech is accredited already by indiana state board of nursing. Graduates will be able to sit for boards. Itt Tech has a clas...

May I ask where you are for it to not be any jobs for a nurse? I am in Northwest,IN and there are overloads of jobs for RN's. About working as a CNA and having an RN license I dont think you can do that. You have to have a CNA license to work as a CN...

So how are things going in the nursing program? I start in Indiana sept 2010.
