I'm going to Valparaiso University for Nursing and I was honestly wondering what the difference is between going to this or other schools? Besides money. Since VU is a lending college, I haven't had to take out any loans myself and financial aid has covered almost everything anyway. So far I know that our A & P is the same as taking A & P and Advanced Physiology out of Ivy Tech (one of my friends is doing that and transfering). I also know that I never had to apply for the nusing program, I was in from day one of my prereqs. I know that compared to friends at Purdue, I have had hardly any hoops to jump through, besides having at least a "C" in all science classes. AND I don't have to take the TEAS test. SOOOOO.... What I was wondering is what is the TEAs test, is it something employers ever look at, and whether going to VU makes a difference when it comes to the big time hospitals? I know my tuition is more expensive, but it's looking like it might be worth not having the hastle of horrendous competition. Thanks Guys!:typing

I'd have to say it depends on where you go. Talk to the teacher and see if you'd really be breaking new ground. I'm just getting done with my 1 sem. of A & P and I'm think retaining the physiology is a lot easier then the bare facts. Anatomy is the study of the body's form and Physiology is the function. Definately at least email the teacher and see what s/he thinks!
