  1. Pharmacology online?

    mamacashew posted a topic in General Students

    Has anyone taken Pharmacology online, while doing the rest of your nursing classes face to face? If you have, how hard did you find it?

  2. Ivy Tech Fall 2010 ~ Fort Wayne

    mamacashew posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    I was just wondering if anyone else on here is going to be entering the nursing program at Ivy Tech's Fort Wayne campus this fall. Would love to get to know a few people before the semester actually...

  3. Associates vs. Bachelors

    mamacashew posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ok, I have read through quite a few threads on associate degrees in nursing vs. bachelors degrees in nursing. I'm hoping someone can tell me if I'm thinking the correct thing, that the main...

  4. I am so sick....

    mamacashew posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of all these threads that keep popping up WARNING people not to go into nursing! Do the people who start those threads really think we don't know the job market sucks right now? It sucks for...

  6. Bad Interview...

    mamacashew replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    It was illegal for her to ask you anything about your personal life. Prospective employers are forbidden to ask about your relationship status, children, or anything else. Her scope of questions...

  7. Ivy Tech 'Fall 2010' Applicants

    mamacashew replied to Emmi7's topic in Indiana Nursing

    It's interesting to see the different uniform requirements for the different campuses and see the difference in prices for the books. Our uniforms are sandstone pants and top (with a logo embroidered...

  8. 1st semester book costs

    mamacashew replied to azhic13's topic in General Students

    I bought mine through my bookstore because they came in a bundle. I went on Amazon and priced everything and it was actually cheaper through my bookstore! I was shocked!! I spent about

  9. Ivy Tech Fall 2010 ~ Fort Wayne

    mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I finally went and got my books, and the lady that "helped" me kept telling me I needed the small nursing diagnosis handbook and I told her "no it's in the box". I had already emailed to find out the...

  10. 2nd degree in nursing WAS IT WORTH IT? GIRL LOST!

    mamacashew replied to Sophiamez's topic in Nursing Career

    I currently teach at a community college, and it is that same college that I will start nursing school in the fall. Yes, I still plan to teach while in school and even after I'm done and hopefully...

  11. Med Tech, U of Indy...which one?

    mamacashew replied to Emmi7's topic in Indiana Nursing

    How about explaining to your instructors what happened and asking for an incomplete? That way you can catch up and finish your classes and not lose your

  12. Ivy Tech Fall 2010 ~ Fort Wayne

    mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I was going to go today, but something told me to wait. Now I'm glad I did! Have you called the bookstore to find out about the duplicates? Did you also get your ATI books when you went

  14. Ivy Tech 'Fall 2010' Applicants

    mamacashew replied to Emmi7's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Do a search for the courses. The books are now required by law to be listed. And all the ISBN's for fall are there. I will warn you though, most of the fundamentals books are packaged together in a...

  15. Ivy Tech Fall 2010 ~ Fort Wayne

    mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm in section B. Which is the smallest section! Well we should be in Fundamentals and Med-Surg lectures

  16. Ivy Tech Fall 2010 ~ Fort Wayne

    mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I can't wait! What section are you in (A-D)? I just wish financial aid would hurry up because I want to get my books so I can start reading.

  17. Pharmacology online?

    mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in General Students

    Thank you everyone for the advice. Unfortunately, taking it face to face is not an option due to my work. I will start the Pharmacology class 5 weeks before my clinicals, so I will be sort of taking...

  18. Your desired specialty

    mamacashew replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Psychiatric nursing. Of course I haven't started school yet, so that may change once I go through

  19. How many classes do you take at a time?

    mamacashew posted a topic in General Students

    I'm really curious as to how many classes do you take at a time in your nursing program? I know where I'll be attending next month, we only do one class at a time for 6-8 weeks, then move onto the...

  20. Can I use my own laptop for a proctored test?

    mamacashew replied to pitterpattershoppe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    At the school I teach at (non-nursing classes), you must go to a proctored location and use their computer. You may say cheating isn't your thing, but there is no way for the school to know that....

  21. How many classes do you take at a time?

    mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in General Students

    I guess I should clarify. At my program, you would take your Fundamentals of Nursing Lecture and the lab that goes with it at the same time. But it's only those two. Then you move onto Med-Surg...

  22. Book rec. for those starting soon

    mamacashew replied to choc0late's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for posting this. I have been on the fence about buying this book since I got accepted into my nursing program. I'm off right now to buy

  23. iTouch or Old School?

    mamacashew posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen quite a few threads where people talk about getting an iTouch or PDA to use for nursing school and clinicals and I'm wondering if it's really something I should be looking into getting. At...

  24. iTouch or Old School?

    mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you get an iTouch or any PDA there is no cell phone bill cost because they aren't cell phones. I'm not talking about the iPhone or a smartphone. Most places I have heard of don't allow you to...

  25. iTouch or Old School?

    mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought the same thing at first when I saw people say this, but then I got to thinking: my school requires textbooks, scrubs, stethoscope, and tons of other things. I don't expect them to pay for...
