   indiana state fnp online

   thenursemandy replied to graciellie's topic in NP Students

   No. I'm in Florida currently, but I'm from Indiana. Indiana just happens to have several quality, affordable options, so I'm looking there instead of locally Good luck.

   why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

   thenursemandy replied to murseforever's topic in Relations

   A girl that I worked with was a no call, no show. A few days later she showed up. Her excuse for not coming? A tornado pushed her car off the road and she need stitches on her scalp. I sympathized and tried to look at her scalp. I don't know why she wouldn't let me see!!!

   indiana state fnp online

   thenursemandy replied to graciellie's topic in NP Students

   I will be applying soon, as I'm I'm my final semester of my BSN currently. I'm originally from Indiana and am considering Ball State, IPFW, ISU, USI and Indiana Wesleyan. My GPA is under 3.5 though. I had a complicated pregnancy and delivery, so I didn't focus on my studies as well as I could have. I hope that doesn't prevent me from getting in.

   is it nurse's week?

   thenursemandy replied to NurseCard's topic in Nurses

   We got a cookie, milk, and a multicolored pen. I felt more like a school girl than a grown nurse.....but I was happy they showed appreciation. I truly like my job.

    Looking into Excelsior

    thenursemandy replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Excelsior

    Excelsior does NOT want you to fail! They are truly happy when we pass. They're making sure we are safe and competent. If people fail its because of nerves or lack of preparation. I studied diligently, went in without nerves and passed.

    Medtech's program .. LPN vs RN

    thenursemandy replied to jewels2829's topic in School Programs

    I would avoid them like the plague. Their credits rarely transfer, they charge way too much, accreditation issues....I could go on. Please consider IPFW, Ivy Tech or IUSB. LPNs mostly work in LTC, occasionally in Drs offices or clinics, and very rarely in hospitals. You'd be limiting yourself.

    Ivy Tech NCLEX pass rates

    thenursemandy replied to kellen91's topic in School Programs

    I went to Ivy Tech South Bend. I learned a lot, passed NCLEX the 1st time and found a job right away.....but that was in 2004. It was very affordable too. I'm glad I was chosen for the program, as many that applied were not. Some people apply several years before getting accepted.
