  1. Pregnancy in nursing school

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

    I actually have checked with my program and sitting a semester out is totally doable, though I didn't ask if it would delay graduation a semester or a year. The recommended sitting out your due date...

  2. Should I drop statistics?

    TooManyCats replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would drop if you can without repercussion. It's really hard to catch up when you've missed the foundation

  3. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    TooManyCats replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I considered it for awhile, but feel pretty okay with my score. Plus due to some issues, we're trying to another baby so I figure if I don't get it and have to take a year off, then oh

  4. Was my professor out of line?

    TooManyCats replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I get where you're coming from. My kids are my #1 priority and nothing even comes close to them. I am here for them 100%. That doesn't mean I don't take school very seriously, and it doesn't mean I...

  5. one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    TooManyCats replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    I feel like this is harassment. If someone expresses they are not interested (by not replying to a message, ignoring advancements, etc) they have the right to be left alone. By having someone else...

  6. Should I write an admissions letter

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

    Nope. Because if it's not part of the requested admissions packet they can't consider it as part of whether or not you are admitted. When they say a tiebreaker will be chosen at random, that means...

  7. HELP! failed pre-reqs

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

    Maybe you could start at a community college and take some more remedial type courses to build up the pre-requisites? It will add some time to your degree, but your foundation will be more

  8. retaking prerequisites

    TooManyCats replied to allivbb2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll have to check with your admissions department. When you can, what grade will be considered, do they average the grades, etc. My school allows you to retake a course regardless of grade but you...

  9. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    TooManyCats replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Are you looking at the most recent admissions packet? This year A&P II was dropped from the pre-reqs dropping the total points possible from 190 to

  10. Should I consider a retake?

    TooManyCats posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hello all, I am applying for the Fall 2015 asn program at Ivy Tech. Current point system is: 30 for an A in Aphy (B-20, C-10) 15 for Psych (B-10, C-5) 15 for English (B-10, C-5) and an adjusted TEAS...

  11. I could have been starting the LPN program this Fall...

    TooManyCats replied to anmckay01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry. It happens though. I got pushed back a year because my financial aid had some weird clerical error and I ended up losing my spot in an anatomy class. Now I might have to delay a semester...

  12. TEAS V before A&P I, II

    TooManyCats replied to studentbear's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    There were only a handful of anatomy questions on my test as well. There were a ton of chemistry and physical science question so if you have the choice to take a chemistry class beforehand, I

  13. marriage and nursing school

    TooManyCats replied to futureRN721's topic in General Students

    I'm a full time student and we have two very young children, and my husband works 80 hour weeks most of the time. We NEVER see each other, but we are working toward a common goal and make an effort to...

  14. APHY 101 - Ivy Tech Topics

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

    It's not that the material is harder, it's just done in half the time so you need to be really on top of it. I recommend writing our detailed study guides, using flashcard, and pairing up with a...

  15. Should I take Medical Terminology for nursing school?

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

    I think it depends *when* you're taking it. I took A&P I and II first and med term is a total cake walk and almost a waste of time. The only reason I haven't dropped it is that I need the credits...

  16. APHY 101 - Ivy Tech Topics

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

    I took the class at Ivy Tech South Bend (also in eight weeks) and we covered cellular anatomy and function, skeletal system, muscular system, integumentary system, tissues, senses, and the nervous...

  17. Ivy Tech Waiting on our acceptance letters for Fall 2015

    TooManyCats replied to kmccoy123's topic in School, College Programs

    I just dropped my application off at the South Bend campus today. As in all three pre-reqs and an 87 on my teas so 147/160 points. I feel pretty

  18. Ivytech 2015 Fall Admission

    TooManyCats replied to sierracherise's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I have the same score as you! Down to the .7 on the Teas! I'm pretty happy with my 146/160, and am applying for a Fall

  19. Nursing school with kids

    TooManyCats replied to Csutts1213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm halfway through my second year of school, applying for Fall '15 nursing. I have two little kids, 3 and 5, and it's hard but so doable and so worth it. I have a lot of late nights, my husband has...

  20. Biology & Chemistry

    TooManyCats replied to StartingOver48's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did accelerated A&P courses back to back this last semester and while they were definitely difficult, I managed an A in both classes. I graduated 2002 and have taken ZERO science since then. I...

  21. Retaking A Course

    TooManyCats replied to SunkissedRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think I would. I would take Psych and do everything in my power to get an A, and use that as my application course. As for future college applications, a B here and there isn't going to hurt...

  22. Should I consider a retake?

    TooManyCats replied to TooManyCats's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My advisor said he wouldn't retake in my situation but I'm not sure if they're supposed to be a cheerleader, if that makes

  23. November/ December 2014 TEAS Exam Takers

    TooManyCats replied to QueenWandaful's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took the TEAS last week and got an 86.1% adjusted. I'm pretty upset and thinking of retaking it, even though my advisor told me it isn't necessary. :-( I used the ATI study guide, practice tests,...

  24. To stay or to go

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

    I have kids and am a few years older than you. Honestly, I wouldn't, and you probably won't finish. Being away from kids that little for that long is just not worth getting your degree a little...

  25. What score determines a retake?

    TooManyCats posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took the teas today and got an 86%, after my school weighs it, it will be the same. I have all A's in my pre-reqs meaning I have 146 out of 160 with my schools system (Ivy tech South Bend, IN). Im...
