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

    TooManyCats replied to guest798886's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Critical care. Maybe anesthesiology or neonatology if I can afford a masters program one

  2. Failed English 101 twice! Need advice!

    TooManyCats replied to DorianFrancis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to juju27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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?

    TooManyCats replied to WEEWOOWW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to Tiffany_84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to ktmt24's topic in Indiana Nursing

    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

    TooManyCats replied to iknoweverything's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    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

    TooManyCats replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    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)

    TooManyCats replied to sscherf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    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?

    TooManyCats replied to celinechub's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    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...

    TooManyCats replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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?

    TooManyCats replied to linzipinzi's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    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?

    TooManyCats replied to Canadianmummy's topic in General Students

    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?

    TooManyCats replied to JessicaWalker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to ktmt24's topic in Indiana Nursing

    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?

    TooManyCats replied to nursingjourney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to FutureNurse305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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. It's going to take me six years to get my ASN.. Frustrated! Not sure what to do until then

    TooManyCats replied to Irie.aries's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to Prettybirdy's topic in General Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to mirandaaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Way to go! Where are you applying? I think I saw you on another post for Ivy

  24. Pregnancy in nursing school

    TooManyCats replied to TooManyCats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    TooManyCats replied to GoodnessFlows's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...
