My care plan patient has multiple dx, and I am not sure which one would be considered a primary and then secondary. Admission MD dx:hypoxemia,potential sepsis, diffuse edema, left leg swelling, obtundation, anemia. Also included are: End stage kidney...

Maybe I wasn't very clear on my post, sorry;( I know the nrsg dx part of the care plan. However, under the H&P I have to write in the medical primary and secondary dx. Then make a concept map on the primary dx of that patient. I have several n...

The wait list the other post is referring to is referred to the "Alternates". If someone who made it in the program decides not to take the spot, then the spot it offered to an alternate. Some refer to it as a wait list.

I was hearing all these rumors as well. I know several people who have been nurses for 15+ years w/ degrees not from IvyTech, and they say that Ivy Tech's nursing program is outstanding, and hospitals are pleased with the nurses that come from ther...

It can be frustrating. You have done so great, and would have totally gotten in at the CC around here. Don't give up. I am 36 and have always wanted to be a nurse, and had to give up college 15+ years ago. I finally am in a place to go back, and my o...

lilboop, I called my highschool and they no longer have my vacc records ( I graduated in 93). SO frustrated. THe little booklet my mom had for me when I was a child is not all the way filled out, so some vaccs are missing on there. Looks like I will ...

I felt alittle overwhelmed. The cost is okay with me, because I know it is more than three times as much at other colleges. Still hurts to have to pay that much, but we've been preparing to spend it. I am getting overwhelmed with the vaccination reco...

Good news... I got the call from Anderson today, a spot opened up and I have been accpeted into the ASN program. I'm so excited. I was happy to be in the PN program, but really wanted to go straight into the ASN. Doin' the happy dance!!:)

I'm feeling overwhelemd with starting in the fall. I think because I am taking Microbiology right now, and it ends July 31, and we go away for a week vacation, then the kids start school, and then I do. So not much of relaxation or down time. Plus I ...

You should do fine. I took Chemistry in HS, and even a college Chem... that was 15 yrs ago, and I had to retake the Chemistry now due to it expired. I didn't remember anything from back then, and I managed to get an A in the class. Some of the stuff ...

Maybe some people lose their passion, but only you can speak for yourself. (Just a sidenote example, my sil is a dancer, and began teaching dancing becuase she has always been passionate for it... well it became a "job", even though she wasn't passio...

I've only been through 1 week of it so far, and can say it's going to be a rough summer. I have spent at least 3-6 hrs a day trying to understand and remember everything. I'm curious to see how poorly I will do on the exams. Our class was told that t...

Yikes 4 weeks?? I just started the 8wk class, and am feeling the pressure. Idon't think it would be as bad if it weren't comprehensive. I'm not sure how well I can do with that. I guess all I can hope for is to get a C or better, so I wont have to r...

Congrats to you all:)

Congrats mmills63!! so does that mean you will turn down the alternate spot in Anderson :)hehehhee Sorry, I just really really want to go straight into ASN, instead of transitioning.

Please don't quit nursing school. You have made it this far,don't let it pass by. I understand the importance of healthy weight, but I also know our society pays WAY TOO MUCH attention on appearances. Get your degree, and if you are wanting to lose w...

I'm taking Microbiology, my last prereq:) Then I start the nursing program in the fall.

I'd retake it again. Oh congrats on your 3rd child, and best wishes.

Thanks kiche123 I found several places through AHA and Amer Red Cross. Thank goodness for www :)

Hugs kayruhh{{{hugs}}} I'm so sorry. I know this must be very frustrating and discouraging. In my area, they say the gpa for nursing is 3.7+, but I know a few colleges that have lowered the gpa to 3.1 to get in. I know that doesn't help you feel any...

mmills63 WTG!! Let's hope several don't take their spots so we both get ours:)

The TEAS was just pure evil!!! I studied alot for it, but I took it two days after having to take 3 mid term exams, so I had fried brain!! I was warned when I started that you pretty much have to have all A's in the prereqs to get in, and if not then...

xaviersmommie00 My scores weren't the greatest. It was 161 . I can't even remember. I got a 76 on the TEASV, and All A's in all my prereqs(well the ENG111 was from 15 yrs ago was a B, so that hurt me, even though I took ENG112 & got an A) It suck...

Okay, so I saw the maillady drive by, and ran to get the mail, I then saw an IVyTech envelope, and my stomach & heart dropped. I began shaking like crazy with nerves. THe verdict is that I made ALTERNATE for the ASN at Anderson. I guess that's be...

Thanks for the update on Anderson. I'm thankful for the PN acceptance, but I am really hoping that I get into the RN at Anderson. I've notice my hair has been falling out lately, hmmm wonder if the waiting is causing it, HAHA!! :)
