So who has orientation on Monday at 8 in room 214?? I want to know who to look for so I don't have to sit solo!

Wow, can you really not call the cops for an impaired driver at the risk of them filing a slander suit? I didn't realize the driver would even be able to get your name from the authorities---and if you witnessed them driving erratically (as the OP di...

Break has been great---Just got back from Disney! I'm excited for summer classes, but nervous too--I just don't know what to expect. I just wish I knew what hospital I was going to---I wonder when they'll tell us. Is anyone else waiting to know their...

Oh I see, well I'm pretty sure I'm a B....anyone else???

At least most of us will be at school for lecture at the same time---maybe we will see each other at breaks sometimes?? MistyMiss, excited that you and I might finally have class together! PM me and let me know which instructor is listed for your cli...

I hate that I haven't had any of you in class, but it looks like I will for summer, so that's great! Hooray for OB/Peds! This semester has been fabulous but I'm SOOOO glad it's almost over. Now I just have to study for a million hours for my finals (...

I have a 3-year-old and I'm in nursing school and working part-time as a Realtor. Sometimes it's tough because I have to spend an evening studying for an exam rather than spending time with my family, but it's really not as crazy as I thought it woul...

Based on the limited class/clinical availability in these programs, I would guess that if you had already started classes here and then moved, you would have to wait for a spot to open up at the other campus in order to stay in the program. Otherwise...

I'm re-living this whole waiting game watching your forum now! I'm in the program at Ivy Tech Lawrence (with Csab) and I went through the same nail-biting that you guys are going through now! You'll have those letters before you know it! I'm sure you...

Geez, I just looked on here and nobody has posted since the middle of March! I guess it's a true testament to how busy we all are! Good luck to everyone on your catheter competency if you haven't had it already. I passed and couldn't believe it---the...

I'm jealous of everyone because I don't even know my schedule yet! haha! I think I got it early last time, so maybe it's a trade-off and I'm one of the last people to be registered this time. Oh well, more time for me to pray for OB/Peds! It's defini...

Yep, those were my drugs....I heard those a lot, so I think all of the stations had those two. Of course, they could always switch it up for another group--just to keep us on our toes!

Congrats on your job!! 3rd shift will probably be tough to start, but your body will adjust. My friend works nights and she said that she sleeps with an eye mask and a fan during the day to "trick" her body into thinking it's night time. You will be ...

Had my PO meds competency today...went fine. I wish I didn't get so freakin' nervous before these things! I swear my hands were shaking so bad that I thought I was going to pour Phenobarb all over my patient! Hopefully as we do them more and more, th...

Amen! That's what we're all here for, right?! Definitely makes me feel better to know that so many other people are questioning their decision to even be in this program---Obviously it's a rash decision to be making, but that's what happens when you ...

Well, I'll eat my words. I looked at the agenda and definitely didn't notice that part at all. Guess that will teach me to read my agendas more carefully!

Yes, everyone check your Ivy Tech e-mails because we have extra drug cards due just to be "admitted" to lab Monday. I can't believe they're doing it this way b/c we knew NOTHING about these being required and I feel sorry for the people who don't che...

Oh I'm so glad to hear everyone say that because it crossed my mind too! I will definitely be back next week, but I hope it gets better. I can't have many more weeks like last week....Not sure I'll make it through!

Well, how did everyone's first week of patient clinicals go?? My day was incredibly awful and I couldn't even believe how stressed I was. My assignment was very difficult and I really felt completely unprepared. I kept forgetting things and I really ...

Yeah, I wish they'd make a decision on APA and stick to it because it seems like everyone keeps asking for different versions of the same thing. I haven't started drug cards yet, but our instructor also suggested that we copy and paste from a site li...

Hello strangers....I've been MIA for awhile, but I'm happy to see everyone did well on their vital competencies! I finished my two quizzes, but now I have the biblio (plus the post on someone else's biblio), the drug cards for my clinical next Thursd...

Hello everyone...hope you Indy folks ae enjoying a night of no lab quiz! WOOOHOO! I think that the academic dishonesty policy is stemming from some incidents that did not involve improper citing, just to quell your fears. Proper citing is definitely ...

Hi Tamimay! Well, congrats on taking the first step to becoming an nurse! That's awesome! As for your scores, I know that each campus has different point cutoffs for each program. I'm pretty sure that 3 B's would not work for the ASN (RN) program at ...

Hey everyone! I've been MIA for awhile (shocker) but wanted to tell everyone good luck on their Pharm/Fundamentals exams....Mine are both on the same day (Tuesday) LOVELY! I am just now doing the nutritional paper (I did the cultural diversity paper ...

Great job so far, Xyra! Sounds like you're adjusting well! It is funny how a B seems so "devastating" after receiving such high marks on the pre-reqs. As for our Cultural Diversity paper, I actually did it Friday night (I'm such a party animal) and ...
