  1. Working during NS -- CNA or desk jockey?

    ErinRN2B replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is stressful enough as it is, I wouldn't advocate switching jobs and having to worry about money. Like others have said, being a CNA is hard (and often thankless) work, and is very...

  2. Should I take A&P I and Micro together?

    ErinRN2B replied to nat2310's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally LOVED Micro. I took it at the same time that I took A&P II, along with a math class and Abnormal Psychology. I got As in all of the classes. Science has always been a pretty good...

  3. This is why you should be careful what you post on facebook

    ErinRN2B replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    They definitely do, and that is exactly why my Facebook profile is private and no one is able to search for my name to find me. I have nothing illegal or shameful on my Facebook - I'm friends with...

  4. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    ErinRN2B replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in nursing school and have a Facebook page, and am friends with many of my classmates on Facebook. Our class even made a group so that we can share news and announcements. It's been EXTREMELY...

  5. Pretty sure I'm the only nursing student ever

    ErinRN2B replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    I had Med/Surg I last semester. I liked the class (even though I got a B in it - missed an A by a few points) because I find diseases and pathology pretty interesting. I wasn't a big fan of the...

  6. Student Loans got you down?????

    ErinRN2B replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in General Students

    Depending on how much money I'll save up this summer working (hopefully a lot!) I'll graduate with my RN with between 15 and 18,000 in federal loan debt. I'm considered an independent student, so I'm...

  7. Are moles, molarity, and geology on the TEAS V?

    ErinRN2B replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the last version of the TEAS, but I remember having several geology questions, and a couple of physics and chemistry questions. Barely any A&P! I think I got a 75% or maybe a little higher,...

  8. MedTech College

    ErinRN2B replied to lasdrs07's topic in Indiana Nursing

    That's what I meant by "merit-based" enrollment - it's based on your score, which is calculated by adding together your points from your pre-req classes and your TEAS score. I believe that starting...

  9. how far do you drive for school

    ErinRN2B replied to tierra399's topic in General Students

    My drive is about 15-20 minutes under ideal conditions, but Indiana just got hit with a big snowstorm and today (on the first day of the new semester!) it took me about 40 minutes to get to school,...

  10. Fast paced Pharmacology!

    ErinRN2B replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    We had a 16-week Pharmacology course last semester. We didn't go too deep into the chemistry and pharmacokenetics and focused more on commonly administered drugs and drug interactions, side effects,...

  11. Where are you doing clinicals this semester?

    ErinRN2B replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    My semester is kind of complicated. I'm in my second semester of an ASN program at a local community college. We have 8 weeks of OB/Peds clinical, where the time is split between doing growth and...

  12. MedTech College

    ErinRN2B replied to lasdrs07's topic in Indiana Nursing

    All of Ivy Tech's campuses operate on the same system, although I specifically attend the Lafayette campus. I got in without having to

  13. New Ivy Tech RN/LPN students for Jan 2011

    ErinRN2B replied to Hopetoheal's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm not a new student, but I started my second semester of the ASN program today! I have Maternal/Child Health the first half of the semester, and Med/Surg II the second half. Two clinicals and two...

  14. MedTech College

    ErinRN2B replied to lasdrs07's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Ivy Tech has no wait list. They have merit-based entry into all of their health science

  15. Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    ErinRN2B replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    ImThatGuy, I completely agree with you on your last point - definitely the pot calling the kettle

  16. Out of shape, how can I prep for clinicals??

    ErinRN2B replied to theantichick's topic in General Students

    Invest in a pair of well-made, comfortable shoes designed for nurses. They will save your feet. I'm not terribly out of shape physically, but I do have occasional back pain that's exacerbated by...

  17. Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    ErinRN2B replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I smoke socially and I would never smoke in my clinical uniform or around my nursing classmates - I'd rather not make an issue out of it. I don't have a problem going 8+ hours without a cigarette and...

  18. Ivy Tech Nursing program scores for LPN/RN? Please Respond.

    ErinRN2B replied to Carla0912's topic in General Students

    I got into the RN program at the Lafayette campus with all As and an 85 on the TEAS. I think that gave me a 208 overall, because I had the region points. I know that this year the changed the points...

  19. Anatomy & Physiology - Indianapolis, IN - urgent need help!

    ErinRN2B replied to missybell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Ivy Tech's RN program. I took all of my pre-reqs there, so I'm not sure how transferring credits for A&P would work, exactly - if I were you I would talk with an academic adviser and then...

  20. How hard is chemistry as compared to anatomy class?

    ErinRN2B replied to northmississippi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought Chem was harder than A&P and Micro... I got an A in it, but just barely. My instructor wasn't very good, and I think if I'd had a good instructor it would have made a huge difference....

  21. I did it! I survived my first semester of NS!

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in General Students

    I passed all my finals - I officially did it! My grades weren't as great as I'd hoped they'd be - it was a pretty 50/50 mix of As and Bs. But I did get an A in Pharmacology, which was definitely our...

  22. ATI Pharmacology exam advice?

    ErinRN2B replied to melissa0's topic in General Students

    If you have the codes, definitely take the time to take the ATI practice pharmacology test on their website a couple of times. Depending on how you do, the review sheet will tell you which subjects...

  23. % of people failing your program?

    ErinRN2B replied to woahmelly's topic in General Students

    ^ Me too. Supposedly this semester a lot of second-semester students failed OB/Peds. I was really looking forward to that class, so I hope the instructor isn't as hard as people are

  24. % of people failing your program?

    ErinRN2B replied to woahmelly's topic in General Students

    I just completed my first semester, and we didn't lose too many people. A couple of people left due to personal issues. Pharmacology was the big class that supposedly weeded people out this semester,...

  25. What to expect for Med-Surg?

    ErinRN2B replied to nalaa83's topic in General Students

    I'm in a two-year ASN program, and just completed my first semester of Med/Surg. I thought it was very difficult - I got a B in it, and I'm usually an 'A student.' It wasn't as bad as some people say...
