Yep! You can go to the VA! Our program has been known for switching things up last minute, but it's all good. You will see me at the orientation, I do all of them for ABSN! Hope to see you! And please ask more questions, I will answer what I can.

I received my acceptance letter last Saturday! I'm super excited!

Oh and one last piece of advice....DON'T plan anything the first six weeks of summer! Med/surg in the summer is a feeling I can't explain and you will possibly want to quit nursing school all together, but don't! lol! It was pure hell and my classmat...

I will tell you that I went to VA for fundamentals and we were turning circles around our classmates. So your location does have something to do with it. I originally choose Wishard and it changed to the VA last minute. Honestly, I did more at the VA...

IUPUI will give you loans and you can also sign up for $15,000 scholarship to work 2 years at IU Health or $10,000 for Community Health and commit 2 or 3 years. You just have to fill out that paper I told you about that we all completed.

Hmmm....i think you will get a good experience at all of them! Which ever you are closet to and you can't ever go wrong downtown.

Study hard and remember don't plan anything the first six weeks of summer! It will be the hardest time of your life! Also use time mgmt and just do what you have to.

WOW! How much is IUPUI's out of state program?

We all got hit with that this past summer. You are okay, just fill out a form and take it to the advising office (nursing) and in two weeks, you are approved. Your loan limits are based on how much you borrowed from your prev degree. You will be fine...

I attend the accelerated program at IUPUI and I would say weigh out the pros and cons for each school. Take EVERYTHING into account and you'll be fine!

Ha! I definitely need to read the post again. That's what I get for "browsing", hey I'm tired studying right now....give me a break!

Love these books! I just put down ECG Made Incredibly Easy, as I have my cardiac test on Tues. I also use the RN NCLEX Made Incredibly Easy for every test. They are good books to use instead of the "official" book. I always use my outside books to st...

We use HA as headache....

I would have used my RN NCLEX book earlier in med/surg and received my A, like I deserve!

BUMP!

Your boyfriend breaks up with you! *starts singing, "so what, I'm still a rock star and got my rock moves and I don't need you!" (Pink)* Your kid only says to you, "Mom are you about to study? Mom are you studying? Mom why aren't you studying?" You ...

When you pull up to church and see no cars.....oh yeah it's Saturday! *drives back home and finish studying*

You can go west or somewhat far east and hop on 70E or 70W and get there pretty quick. I live far east and it takes me 15mins. You can also check out places right outside of downtown.

Yes, you will have several occassions where you will be downtown by 7 and depending on clinicals 6:30am. The hours vary and it will depend on what block you choose, but our first two semesters where are on the same time schedule.

Yes I agree, It's amazing! I'm having a blast and I can tell you, I'm a single mother and I'm making it work. Like my friend stated, the REAL fun doesn't start until summer. You will have spurts of free time, but you will be busy. I like to read up o...

I am and it's amazing! The only difference between us and the traditional folks, is that we go all year w/o summers off.

I'm in accelerated program and have one child. I will tell you, it's tough, but it's doable if you use time management. I study when he's sleep and if I get some extra time during the day, I'm studying. Having a great support system is mandatory! Cli...

No regrets! We learn at the same pace, it's different b/c we go all summer. We end up with the same amount of clinical hours.

The first week was so, so. It's starting to pick up, but the first semester doesn't seem like it will be bad. It's every semester after that! :) Scholarships are based on GPA and an essay. You will then be chosen for an interview and it's determined ...

Check with the schools first! Indiana Weslyan will accept SOME courses from those programs. You will have to re-take a nice amount of classes.
