  1. What kind of RN do you want to be?

    Critical care. Maybe anesthesiology or neonatology if I can afford a masters program one
  2. Failed English 101 twice! Need advice!

    Community colleges usually have the most competitive scoring/grading because of the cost. The affordability and two year option brings an abundance of applicants. First, I'd talk to an advisor and see...
  3. Rejected, don't know what to do

    Here's how I look at it. Nursing is a licensed profession. Your skills and your license will speak volumes, more than the place from which you earned your degree (assuming you earned it from an...
  4. Is a B in Biology okay?

    That's a great GPA and most people get an occasional B. I personally found Micro a little harder *for myself* to understand than A&P. But I'm very good at
  5. Working full-time with three children

    It's going to be hard, but it's doable. I have a friend who is a single mom, working, with five kids, and she just got her masters. Be prepared for late nights, ingest a lot of coffee, make everything...
  6. Ivy Tech TEAS V for fall registration

    I applied at South Bend, I had 146/160. I didn't apply to the PN program though. I was going to and just
  7. What did you take Anatomy with

    I took Anatomy I and II back to back in two 8 week courses. That semester I also took Chemistry, and
  8. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    They were wrong. The nursing booklet says for Fall Admissions prerequisite courses must be completed by the end of the previous Spring semester. So if you were enrolled in a prerequisite now, the...
  9. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    Sort of, all grades need to be submitted because you can't enter with a gpa lower than 2.0, and some people are taking prerequisites this semester so those grades will factor into your
  10. POST TEAS V SCORES HERE (ivy tech)

    I applied at South Bend for the ASN program. I had all A's in my prerequisites and an 86.7 on my TEAS so
  11. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    I've heard end of May, early June. They need to wait until Spring grades are in. I believe ASN is sent out
  12. Question about the Drug Test?

    This exactly. Any time I've had to do a drug test for school or work, I was given a sheet to fill out prescriptions. I've taken drug tests while on post-surgery narcotics and "passed" because I...
  13. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    I'm all of a sudden super nervous that my high school transcript won't be accepted. I took the California High School Proficiency Exam and received a diploma from the state, so I just copied the...
  14. Professors who don't make their own tests...

    I've noticed this before. I don't consider it plagiarizing. It's common practice and doesn't really prevent us from learning our
  15. Is 71% in Chemistry enough?

    I am totally envious of your grading scale!! At my school we need a 2.0 gpa to be considered for the program, so I suppose a D in a class would be balanced by an A (even though D's are failing). If...
  16. Being a mom?

    I started when my kids were 9 months and 3. I'm sure it would be easier without kids, but who cares? This is my situation and these are my goals and I'll find a way to make it all work. It's what we,...
  17. How long did it take you finish your prerequisites?

    Two years, but I could have it done in one. I couldn't get a spot in anatomy and ended up using that second year to finish up my general ed and lighten my course load during the actual nursing portion...
  18. Ivy Tech TEAS V for fall registration

    I think that's a pretty good score. I think it's hard to remember that it's not like a regular test where a C might be disappointing. I scored an 86.7 and I think that was in the 97th percentile?...
  19. Who else is waiting for an Acceptance letter?

    I applied at one program at one campus, but I feel very confident. I won't receive my letter until the end of May/early June. I can't
  20. Prerequisites

    My school is on a points system, which is nice because there's no wait list, but awful because if your points are low sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. They *require* Anatomy and...
  21. So when I was 21 I wanted to go back to school and get into a nursing program, but I had to work full time and it was going to take me two years for my prerequisites and then two years for my nursing...
  22. Pre-Nursing student STRESSING PLEASE HELP

    I struggled with chemistry too. It took a lot, and I mean a lot, of work to scrape out a C, which is barely passing in my school. So I don't fault you for failing or having a hard time, I'm just...
  23. I Think I Did It

    Way to go! Where are you applying? I think I saw you on another post for Ivy
  24. Pregnancy in nursing school

    I should be starting my program in August, and we originally were planning on waiting until I finished to have our last child, but due to medical issues I am experiencing we don't have the option of...
  25. Chem Is Not My Favorite

    I feel like there are physical science brains and life science brains. Just like people who love geometry hate algebra and vice versa. I am in the same boat as you, LOVE life science, I enjoyed every...
