    cheesewhiz replied to Rhubarb J.'s topic in Indiana Nursing

    cheesewhiz replied to TGrider853's topic in Indiana Nursing

    yes. you have to fill out an entire separate application for the LPN program. they do the RN applications first. then the LPN. so if you apply for RN and don't get in, then if you get into LPN you can...

  6. IU Health Intern/Externship

    cheesewhiz replied to lilop's topic in Indiana Nursing

    yes, i agree. they do typically tend to hire 'their own', so i think it would be great to get your foot in the door. MOST of the nurse tech/nurse interns end up working as an RN on their unit once...

    cheesewhiz posted a topic in General Nursing

  9. ASN to BSN with another BS degree?

    cheesewhiz replied to cheesewhiz's topic in General Nursing
