This thread is for all of us who were lucky enough to get into the Ivy Tech ASN/PN program for the Fall 2011. Many of the threads are concentrated on the TEAS test, scores, grades, and acceptance letters. As a prospective student, these are great. ...

@ szewc2nurse - congrats on getting in to lafayette! i completely understand wanting to bring your husband along. the next few years will effect both of you. but, i don't know what the rules are as far as that goes. i would call your campus and s...

Yay! orientation tommorow! I can't wait. I know it won't be anything spectacular, but atleast I will hopefully have my class schedule and all of the information I need for school. The fact that I will be going to nursing school will finally seem real...

Thank you for all of the information! I was wondering if anyone has had to work while in the nursing program? It sounds soo hectic with just school alone, much less working. I am not eligible for grants due to a previous degree, but I am hoping to...

Congrats on the acceptance to Lafayette! I too got the Lafayette acceptance letter today. I have already accepted kokomo's ASN program, and was sure I was going to stick with that...but now, I find myself wondering about Lafayette. Oh the decision...

I was sitting here thinking about gas prices and my commute to campus in the fall. Is there anyone who lives near the Flora area that would be interested in talking about a carpool to the Kokomo campus once we figure out schedules?

Well, maybe the added classes will help bump us over the full time mark on some of those semesters that were originally 11 or 7 credit hours. I wish that they had it all laid out for us online so that we could know what the course load was going to ...

Congrats on your acceptance TSullivan! I think I have come to the conclusion that none of the letters are the same! You would think there would be some standard info included in all of the letters, but from what I have seen, we all have little bits...

Oh I feel your pain! I wish there was a way to atleast get a little money up front for all of this! Right now, I am trying to pick up some overtime to pay for everything until the financial aid (hopefully I get a refund) comes in or I hear about a ...

Yay! Yes, I will see you next week. It will be nice to know someone before the program starts! I checked out the stethescopes. They look pretty nice. I would be interested in going in together if we can find a few more people. I just have to fin...

It said that we have to have either American Heart Association or Red Cross CPR for the healthcare professional. The immunizations were: a recent tetanus booster ( within 10 years), a two step TB Test within the last year, proof of MMR immunization,...

Thanks for the link! No, our letters said we had to have our immunizations, cpr, physicals, background checks, drug screens, and an official high school diploma by August 1st. But, they said that cpr cards take a while, so we should do it as soon as...

I have CPR next Thursday too. Are you by any chance taking it with Angie Heckman in Kokomo? And yes, I definitely need to look at the stethescopes and shoes. I want to get a good pair since we will be on our feet so much. I think I will be broke by t...

Thanks so much Wannabanrnin2012! I have been trying to figure it out for financial aid purposes, but they never told us at the info session I went to, and the online curriculum just lists all of the classes (but doesn't say which semester you take t...

Congrats mombutterfly! I'm glad it worked out for you! Good luck over the next few years...we're in for an adventure. If anyone is interested, I actually started a new thread for those who were accepted to Ivy Tech for the Fall, to talk about any...

I will be going to the kokomo campus. I have orientation on June 16th (can't wait!). I read on some other threads that some people are expected to pay for lab fees or other things at their orientation. My letter didn't say anything about this. Do...

@mombutterfly: I was in the exact same situation. Kokomo needed a response by June 1st or my spot would be given to someone else. But, Lafayette letters are not going out until after that time. I went ahead and accepted Kokomo and I think I will s...

Congrats to you too Red Hot Mom! There is so much to do between now and August...I can't wait for the orientation session to get schedules and everything. I have to work to pay my bills while I'm in school. I don't qualify for grants or anything d...

I made it into Kokomo ASN with a 178! I applied to Lafayette too, but decided to accept Kokomo because it's a little closer, and we are given a pretty limited time to accept the space in the class. I would have to accept or decline Kokomo before La...

I took my TEAS test last weekend and got an 86% overall. I actually scored lowest on the English portion. I have no idea why, except to say that I think I rushed through it and didn't read all of the answer choices close enough. I have been out of...

I think you're right Anna. I would be so upset to miss the cutoff by a few points and know that I could have taken it one more time and improved my score. Like Wannabanrnin 2012 said, maybe I can squeeze out a few extra points.. I think I will revie...

Thank you all for your responses! I haven't quite decided what I am going to do yet. I am applying to Ivy Tech and am allowed to take the test one more time, but I have to wait 30 days. So, that gives me some time to think. The rumors around the ...

I finally got up the courage to take the TEAS and took it this morning! I scored advanced, 86.0%, in the 97th percentile. I was pretty happy with my score since I have been out of school for about 8 years..but I am wondering if 86% will be good eno...

I have been out of college since 2003. I have always done really well academically, but that doesn't seem to make a difference on the TEAS. I am scheduled to take it on February 5th. I have been studying the study guide and have scored an overall ...
