Hello! I'll be starting my RN program come August with the hope of eventually becoming a CRNA at some point down the line. Earlier today I was talking with a friend of mine whose aunt is a surgical nurse in South Bend, IN. According to this friend ...

varies depending on the school to which you apply. go to aana.com, and you should find a complete list of crna schools, along with the links to their school websites. most schools have a list of prerequisites on their website that they require an a...

Well, I actually did end up getting the B (I scored the exact number of points on the final that I needed to earn the grade lol). But since I have to still take Orgo, and god knows how that class is gonna go, my question still stands: Will taking gr...

This kind of goes along with this thread's topic, so I guess I'll post my question here and hope to get an answer... I actually have a question about the Chemistry requirements for the CRNA program. The programs I'm looking at require Gen Chem I, Ge...

So, I have to admit: I'm a bit miffed about the fact that the Ivy Tech-Indianapolis' scrubs are as expensive as they are. I mean, I'm saving a butt load of money by going to IT as opposed to somewhere else, so w/e. But, I was just curious to see if...

Ivy Tech doesn't have waiting lists. They mostly use a point system for determining who gets accepted into their nursing programs and who doesn't. The points are awarded based on grades achieved in ANP 101, ANP 102, PSYCH 101, and ENG 111, along wi...

I looked it up. If any of you are like me and didn't know, an SNE is a "student nurse extern."

What's SNE?

Well, actually I wouldn't be so sure about that. If you try getting into a program that's not within the same system you were in when you were in your undergrad, the selection committee might overlook those non-prereq grades. I say that because whe...

@ Faypha I've been reading some of your posts, and hopefully I'm not overstepping any boundaries by asking you this, but have you tried getting into any of the BSN programs in the state? I mean, I'm just asking because if I remember correctly, you h...

@ the lab fees THANK GOD!!!! lol

I found this thread: https://allnurses.com/men-nursing-forum/being-hiv-positive-328007.html One of the posters on it said that he was HIV+, and was still able to work as a nurse. It may be different depending on which state you're in though. So, if...

Just going off the test that I took back in February... Know your chemistry, know what the equation is for the photosynthetic process (yeah, that was one of the random questions that got stuck in mine lol), review your anatomy and physiology, and als...

omg, mcjones and hope, thank you both so much for the pointers! very helpful. :)

@ Chocolateskye I see that you got the job back in September of 2009. How long did you work there before the termination?

Well, I don't start my RN program until this next fall semester, so I can't really give you too much information about job availability. However, as far as schools are concerned, the Carmel Clay school district is probably one of the best public one...

Actually, I take back what I said about the credit hours. I just looked at the new and updated version of the program, and they've added some classes. So, I don't know how many credit hours each semester is any longer. Boy, orientation sure is go...

Btw, how much is your CPR class gonna cost you? I've looked at a couple different ones, and the cheapest one so far is 60 bucks. And you know, between the stethoscope, the scrubs, the CPR class, the lab fees at Indy, the background check, the phys...

Hi! I'm currently in my undergrad, and will be (hopefully) starting an RN program this fall. My ultimate goal is to go on to become a CRNA, so I've done quite a bit of research on various schools and the prerequisites their programs have for conside...

Yeah, in my letter it says that we'll be registering for classes during orientation. I almost feel as though if we were to combine our letters we'd have the real letter the schools actually meant to send out lol Does yours say what kind of immuniz...

Hey, this other thread on here is kind of related to CPR certification, along with which type is preferred by some hospitals. You might want to check it out. https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/still-cant-obtain-571109.html Also, did yo...

No problem, I hear ya about the fin aid, though. I'm purposefully putting off taking some classes just to make sure that I'll be able to maintain full time status at Ivy Tech during the bulk of the nursing program. For instance, I was gonna take Ab...

The first semester it's 13 CH, the second it's 11, and then the 3rd and 4th are each 7 CH. I'm not too sure of the exact order of classes we take though...

Thanks! I saw that you got in as well, so happy dances for you too, and good luck with the ABSN application at IUPUI!! :clpty::clpty:

ah. So the AHA CPR= BLS instead of just CPR like the ARC's?
