  1. How do you take notes for class, anyway?

    ErinRN2B replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Students

    My teachers use Powerpoints during lectures. I print off copies of the PPs, and take notes on them during class. When I read the assigned chapters at home I take notes of the important concepts on my...

  2. GPAs in NS school

    ErinRN2B replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    4.0 - ASN

  3. What do your schedules look like?

    ErinRN2B replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    I'm a night owl too, and the adjustment has been hard. Right now I only have three classes. Fundamentals Lecture, Fundamentals Lab, and Pharmacology. In late September, we end Fundamentals and throw...

  4. Has anyone gotten pregnant and continued w/NS?

    ErinRN2B replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    I'm not pregnant but I have a 14-month-old son and I just started nursing school last week. It's tough, and it definitely makes finding time to study difficult. I made it through two semesters of...

  5. Sketchers for clinicals?

    ErinRN2B replied to VVCN2012's topic in General Students

    I bought a pair for clinicals - I hope they're comfortable, I haven't worn them yet! I agree about the Shape-Ups.

  6. A question about prices of CNA/PCT programs and getting what you pay for

    ErinRN2B replied to jgreer425's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    $13,000 for a CNA class? The two-year RN program I'm in costs less than $2,000 a semester at community college. I don't know what the job market for CNAs is like in Atlanta, but I know here there are...

  7. Dental Screening for nursing school?

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

    Yes, they just want to make sure that you're physically able to carry out the duties of a nurse (standing for long periods of time, bending over, reaching up, etc.) and that you're of no risk to...

  8. A&P and Micro at the same time?

    ErinRN2B replied to rcfj2290's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P and Micro at the same time last Spring. It was tough, but I did it. I dedicated specific days of the week to studying for each class, and just tried not to get overwhelmed. I was also...

  9. I am not going to itt now!!!!!

    ErinRN2B replied to Born2BANurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm at the Lafayette campus. I like the program so far, but it's definitely a lot of work. The schedule is rough, all of my classes right now start at 7:30 AM. I'm still getting used to it. ....

  10. Just wondering about you guys....(I have questions)

    ErinRN2B replied to Frazzled_One's topic in General Students

    1. I've gained a couple pounds, but sadly I don't think I can blame that solely on nursing school. I have a 14-month-old and I've just been finding it hard to cook healthy meals for myself while...

  11. How I Got My First Nursing Job

    ErinRN2B replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is such an amazing story!

  12. What do you eat at 5am for breakfast?

    ErinRN2B replied to sandyfeet's topic in General Students

    I usually grab a granola bar in the morning and take it with me to school. I'm trying to drink less coffee, because it's making me really jittery (in a bad way) during classes, and it makes it harder...

  13. I am not going to itt now!!!!!

    ErinRN2B replied to Born2BANurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What more do you need to complete at Ivy Tech? I just started their RN program this week. I know they changed the math requirement and the points allotment, but I think that's it. I don't think the...

  14. I am not going to itt now!!!!!

    ErinRN2B replied to Born2BANurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you made a very wise choice. I was watching the news last night with my husband and we saw a report about illegal practices documented by many for the big for-profit schools (UoP, ITT, Kaplan,...

  15. Only 2nd week into school and already stressed. Anyone else?

    ErinRN2B replied to peas&carrots's topic in General Students

    Today was my third day, and I'm already very stressed-out! We all are, you're certainly all alone. One of the first thing that our theory instructor told us is that nursing school is a whole different...

  16. Ivy Tech 'Fall 2010' Applicants

    ErinRN2B replied to Emmi7's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Biz - I'm doing pretty good, all things considering! I'm at Lafayette, too. I finished the med term quizzes 1-5, along with the Curren assignment that's due on Monday. I also need to review the first...

  17. Shopping for Nursing School

    ErinRN2B replied to SCSUStudent's topic in General Students

    Nursing school put quite a dent in my bank account this summer. I'm having to live pretty cheap until I get my financial aid disbursement in September. Required texts / materials / other: -...

  18. Supplemental books for Nursing School

    ErinRN2B replied to nneokill175's topic in General Students

    In addition to an NCLEX book, my theory instructor suggested buying a high-quality care plan book. She said that they will be provided for the clinical sites, but it's helpful to have a good one at...

  19. Becoming A LPN While In RN Program

    ErinRN2B replied to Ccutie515's topic in General Students

    That's interesting, I've never heard of that before. I'm going to ask my instructor on Monday. I know that after we finish our first round of clinicals we can work as CNAs, but I'd much rather start...

  20. I just got my Acceptance Letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ErinRN2B replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! That must be a ton of stress off of your

  21. Microbiology

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

    I love love LOVED Micro, too. My instructor was awesome and incredibly smart. Our labs were fun and I always came out of them feeling like I actually learned something. I took Micro a couple of...

  22. School, Work, Family...

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

    It all depends on what your study habits are, how hard your particular classes are, and how much time you need to dedicate to each particular class. Personally, I did not have a problem holding a...

  23. What bag do u bring to school?

    ErinRN2B replied to Newbiestudent's topic in General Students

    I had always used a tote bag, but I found that as my books got heavier it was starting to hurt my back. This semester I invested in a decent North Face backpack. I usually only have to bring one or...

  24. Ivy Tech Fall 2010 Students

    ErinRN2B posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    I figured that I would make a new thread now that the semester has officially started. :) How is everyone's first day going? In our Fundamentals Lab this morning we pretty much just covered the...

  25. What do you bring to class?

    ErinRN2B replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    Most of my questions about what to bring to class were answered today. No need to bring books, and just look ahead on the syllabus and if a lab calls for a stethoscope or a bp cuff, bring one. My...
