I think it just depends on the person's level of ability to do tasks. I am in orientation and there was another women who I'd say was in her late 70's to early 80's in orientation with me. She had been a nurse for 44 years and was hired to due PRN wo...

I just did my health screening for my first nursing job. I was honest and stated I had cardiomyopathy on the forms. Do they consider this a liability and rescind their offer of employment?

I almost hate admitting this but I got in with a 112. I wasn't going to apply but my husband talked me into it by saying even if I only got into the LPN program at least I could be a nurse sooner. So I applied for spring 2018 admission. I decided to ...

@Kotylynne hi! I am in the nursing program at the lawrenceburg campus. For myself, the best advice I can give would be to get healthy. I should be in my fourth semester graduating in December but... I'm only starting in my 2nd semester this fall as a...

The interesting thing about my drive is that it's so pleasant that the hour and forty minutes go by fast. I only spend maybe 20 minutes on the interstate. As for bad weather, there were a few days last semester, but fortunately I drive a four wheel d...

I go to the Lawrenceburg campus, it was one of the campuses I applied to. This is my second semester and there were at least six students in my class that didn't apply to the Lawrenceburg campus and they called them and offered them a spot in the RN ...

Hi Yoda Mans. I just finished my first semester at the Lawrenceburg campus for RN. The style of testing is very different. There were 18 students initially in my class. Five of them failed Med-surg and of course won't get to move on with us. It's sad...

I would think so. 147 is a pretty high score. I was looking through the post and seen someone got into the Gary ASN program with a 126

Hi simtes. The only thing i can think of is to talk to a nursing advisor or the nursing program chair. They will be able to give you the best advice.

Wow, I had no idea that they had LPN programs that short! No, my program is ASN. I seen your post when I was perusing through the student section a few days ago. I like to read about other students and future nursing students and I thought your initi...

I had my first nursing school orientation on November 14. There was a quote on the board when I walked into the room - "Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard and succeed on purpose." - G.K. Neilsen I agree, if you want something bad e...

Just because you're small doesn't mean you can't be quick on your feet or handle the demands of patient care. Let me give you an example that goes in the opposite direction - 18 years ago I gave birth via c-section. I bled internally for 9 hours befo...

I'm not sure what campuses to tell you. Have you tried going to the nursing board's website and looking at nclex pass rates? Have you tried the thread on all nurses called fall 2017 ivytech hopefuls? A person named 37changes could tell you about the ...

I just heard from my campus - registration is November 14, 10-1 and orientation is January 11, 9-3. The email mentioned something about having to pay for the back ground check that day. I don't know if they are talking about registration or orientati...

I haven't got anything yet for my campus at Lawrenceburg. Is there anyone else that hasn't heard anything yet?

Abumps that is great!! I am so happy for you.

Ok, I just went back to look at that thread. She said they are taking pharmacology at the Muncie campus and she heard that's not the norm. So I guess it's hard to say.

I was on Ivytech.edu went to the nursing page and I clicked on nursing overview and application booklet. On page 50 it gives a semester by semester schedule. What you mentioned looks right according to the booklet, but I had another student that star...

I had asked about pharmacology in another thread last night to a student who started this fall. She said you do take pharmacology the first semester. Ivy Tech used to have the classes listed for each semester but changed it. Yeah, I viewed the schedu...

Kpoole, on another thread for those that got into the fall program, someone had asked the same question that had gotten accepted for spring 2018. She said orientation is about 3 weeks before classes start. I know you can go on myivy and actually view...

Thanks 37changes, that's great advice! I have several questions. .. when do you take pharmacology? Also, my academic advisor said that the ASN program is done in one year now. Is this correct? She said you go through the summers now.

Hi Diggy! I was accepted as well into the ASN program. If I read correctly, after we have accepted our spot, it said we will receive information about all that stuff after September 22 when they are done with all the rounds. By the way, what campus ...

I had talked to a friend today who went through the program and she said the orientation is usually in December. Or at least in the past anyways.

At one time, I too wanted to become a doctor. I was going for my BS in biology, but because I was a single parent of five children, my mom and sister thought it would be a good idea if I went to nursing school first. I found out in my very first nurs...

Accepted into the ASN program at Lawrenceburg!
