  1. Waiting on an Authorization to test

    EmilysMama replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Students

    I called my state board of nursing, who checked the computer and "something just got lost somewhere". She marked me eligible in the comptuer and in 30 minutes I had my ATT. Good

  2. Medtech October '12 classes

    EmilysMama posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm going to be starting Medtech in October, and was wondering if anyone has anything recent to say about the school. Everything I see are reviews from '08-'10 but it seems to be better now? No news...

  3. Question about getting into Ivy Tech timeline?

    EmilysMama replied to blskinner13's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I would take care of any and all of your co-reqs before the program. You can't take any in the last semester, and the first is just freaking crash course disaster-ish, so just get them out of the way....

  4. new program at ivy tech

    EmilysMama replied to shana0's topic in General Students

    You need APHY 101 to get the points to get in, and you can take 102 while in the program. I'm 2nd semester and currently taking advanced physio while also doing nursing classes. I will tell you that...

  5. Ivy Tech Book Importance

    EmilysMama replied to HolisticASN's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm an IVT nursing student and we use all of our books, some people use them more than others. I would buy what they tell you and then use them to understand the concepts. You will pass tests just...

  6. Getting to the gym?????????

    EmilysMama replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you take one hour out of one day to go to the gym you will be better for it. I used to go 4 or 5 times a week for 2 or 3 hours a day but I just can't, mostly because classes take up time. But I DO...

  7. Ivytech application deadline september 1, 2014

    EmilysMama replied to beatrizcastro's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Tip for IVT.. if the deadline for letters is May 31.. plan on getting your letter June 1st. My letter wasn't sent out till the DEAD LAST DAY. The wait was awful. I start on the 27th though, I made...

  8. Can i ever become a nurse?

    EmilysMama replied to Dallanah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I first started this journey, I jumped in with both feet and wasn't completely prepared. Long story short, my kid got sick and I had to withdraw. Well I didn't but I thought I had to because my...

  9. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    EmilysMama replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

    I have the Littman Classic II SE in black with smoke finish. The bell is engraved. I justified the purchase because I use it at home as well as for school. It will get plenty of love. I may upgrade...

  10. Do you really need a laptop for nursing school?

    EmilysMama replied to xiomara17's topic in General Students

    I have a laptop for class and almost never use it during class. I like that it's portable so that you can work on papers next to everywhere, but when it came to notes and stuff hand wrote stuff down....

  11. What backpack do you use?

    EmilysMama replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    I have a Jansport and I love it It holds a TON of stuff, BUT if you need laptop space and it's bigger than 15 inches.. it's a feat to get it in there. I am looking at the UA backpacks, but people tend...

  12. Afraid of starting nursing Pre reqs

    EmilysMama replied to JPickett's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Normal to be nervous. One day at a time. Fortunately the first days of class are all about sylabusses (lol) an rules. It helps to break down barriers. I really enjoyed the science classes. It was the...

  13. What do you guys think of Medtech College?

    EmilysMama replied to bethers10's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Schedule for who? Ivy Tech or Med Tech? Ivy Tech is in the process of streamlining their program. But you still need to take pre-req classes and for those you choose your schedule. Im not sure about...

  14. Fall 2014 Ivy Tech Nursing

    EmilysMama replied to rnjacqui's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Our orientation is July 14. Lickity Split, soon as I got that letter I had my background and drug screening done, I've taken my BLS class and I just received word that my titres are good so I don't...

  15. Fall 2014 Ivy Tech Nursing

    EmilysMama replied to rnjacqui's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I got into Kokomo's ASN program. I cant WAIT for the orientation... it's about as slow to get here as the letter was! So freakkng

  16. Is this a realistic course load?

    EmilysMama replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats a course load. Some of those "busy" classes can be done over the summer. A&P has a lot of information you need to remember as it follows you forever and ever. If you are single and have a...

  17. Acceptance letters-Ivy Tech 2014

    EmilysMama replied to rnjacqui's topic in Indiana Nursing

    IN at Kokomo for the ASN program for Fall 2014!!!! I've already paid for my background test and sent in my acceptance email. I'll turn in my reciept Monday for the drug screening and then get a titer...

  18. How was microbiology for you? Grade for you? Topics covered?

    EmilysMama replied to starter12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I LOVED micro.. my very last test on immunities got me though because I had a final on Anatomy the day before so something had to give. I still got an A though. I was obsessed with the information in...

  19. anyone else struggle with Algebra

    EmilysMama replied to 30pls_rn_in_trng's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HATED math. Nothing but practice and tears here and I"m glad to be over the stuff I wont necessarily

  20. Acceptance letters-Ivy Tech 2014

    EmilysMama replied to rnjacqui's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm working solely towards the ASN. If it doesn't work out, I'll go back to being MOM. :) I've worked hard, and I want it, but if it's not to be, I have a solid back up plan

  21. Acceptance letters-Ivy Tech 2014

    EmilysMama replied to rnjacqui's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I think I've seen a few of you on the IVT boards :) I have all of my eggs in the Kokomo basket. I have a 4.0 with a 78.4 on my TEAS V. I'm cautiously optimistic that I'll be

  22. A&P or Micro?

    EmilysMama replied to Amylovesnursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Study Buddy! NOT buddies! More than 2 or 3 in a group promotes an all day BS session and nothing gets done (though there are exceptions) 101 is best before micro, since Microbiology is a lot of cells,...

  23. Which specialty would you like to end up in?

    EmilysMama replied to baseball mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PICU. Very competitive, I know, but I have no intention of working in a clinic. Working bedside and dealing with crabby parents is where I feel I can best be of use

  24. Summer classes?!

    EmilysMama replied to mrsvickerie2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me 101 was much harder than 102 and even though I hold high A's in both A&P classes, I am firmly convinced that I would NOT have done as well in an accelerated class like summer can be. If you...

  25. A&P 1, Any Tips or Tricks to get the most out of the course.

    EmilysMama replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was fascinated by Micro so just reading the book was about all I needed for that. For Anatomy, as much as I like science it fries my brain cells. Repetition, repetition, repetition.. I have a study...
