I applied for the RN and LPN positions at the Anderson campus (207.7 points). Before reading through this thread I was pretty calm about the whole waiting game. Now I feel a bit nervous. We only have...

anomaly, Sorry, that was a typo on my part. I meant Spring 2011. I had originally hoped to start this May. I had started taking courses through Ivy Tech. When I met with the adviser at IUPUI, she...

Anomaly, Unfortunately no. I due to the classes I have to take, I might not be able to start as late as Spring 2011. If I can manage to squeeze my classes in, I could start as early as Fall 2010....

I spoke to an advisor at IUPUI about the Accel. BSN program. It looks like I have about seven courses to take (one of them is a retake) before I can apply. I hope to start Spring 2010. After some...
Wanting to avoid the microscope as much as possible, I'm wanting to take chemistry over microbio. I noticed that there are two chemistry courses listed, one at 4 credits and the other at 3. Is there...
I feel confused. Were you already in the military before and are now going back or something? I thought there was an age cutoff to join. I had wanted to sign up last year but was told I had just...

I'm a pre-nursing student. After reading your story I felt overwhelmed. In the short time that I have to train to be a nurse, will I be as knowledgeable as you? There were so many words and...
I spoke with an adviser at Ivy Tech months ago. I had it in my head that if I was accepted into the program in January of 2010, I would be done by December or May 2011? I'm still confused. The way...
I have two classes to finish before I can apply to the nursing program at Ivy Tech in Indiana. I have three other co-reqs that I would like to finish before I actually start the nursing classes. It...
Since I've decided to change careers and share that information with friends and collegues, it seems that there are several others wanting to change careers too. In my network of people I know there...

I laughed so hard at this. Nice and unexpected. After I finish school and get my first nursing job, I'll spend a part of my first paycheck taking my mother out to a lovely dinner. She's been a real...

I should have read this first before posting new thread about this under Indiana. I've run into several others who are making the switch from their careers into nursing. I initally felt nervous...
How do you go about getting a clerical job in a hospital if you don't have experience doing it? I'm still leaning on becoming a CNA this summer since I already know I won't be teaching in the fall....
You guys have great ideas. I appreciate your advice. I think I'm going to check out the CNA program at the school I'm going to. Saving money now is a good idea. It'll be tough to save but I'm sure...
Ok so jobs like Wal-Mart would be out. What kind of job could I expect in a hospital with no experience other than being a patient a few times there? I do like the idea of working in one to at least...

I looked at IUPUI's 2nd bachelors program. I liked the idea of having a BSN rather than an ASN at the end of 18 months. In the end I chose Ivy Tech to start my career change mostly because of...
