  1. Ivy Tech, GPA, etc.

    Innurse78 replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Yes, I used the ATI and I loved it. I also found a web site that had practice quizzes on it but after taking the test once and failing, I switched study guides. ATI, in my opinion, is the most...

  3. Ivy Tech, GPA, etc.

    Innurse78 replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The TEAS minimum scores that you quote are universal on all TEAS tests for the nursing programs. You are correct in saying the more A's ( points) you get on pre-req's , the better your chances of...

  4. Ivy Tech, GPA, etc.

    Innurse78 replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    PS...............there is no record at my local Ivy Tech or the 3 that I applied to that got 100 on their TEAS. We even had a Math prof apply and she only got a 96 on her

  5. Ivy Tech, GPA, etc.

    Innurse78 replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I meant total GPA. If you had four C's in credit courses that did not count towards nursing like Math..but yet all A's in your 4 co-req's and ended up with a 3.4 GPA, it does not mean anything at any...

  6. Ivy Tech, GPA, etc.

    Innurse78 replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    For the math part- study percents, algebra, ratio/proportion, fractions and adding/subtracting. They also throw in some written questions that require you to really read what exactly what they want to...

  7. Ivy Tech, GPA, etc.

    Innurse78 replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Hi, Unfortunatly, GPA scores do not count for Ivy Tech admission to nursing. The only things that count are your co-reqs and TEAS test and you get an extra 3 points if you are in the counties they...

    Innurse78 posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    Hi, I am almost done my pre-req's for the transistional LPN to RN. Question is: Is it easier to get into Columbus Ivy Tech or Bloomington Ivy Tech? If I do not have my Micro done and have to do it...

  11. B-town Ivy Tech Vs Columbus?

    Innurse78 replied to Innurse78's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I was going to take Chem through South Bend. Excellent teacher I have heard. I had to drop it though and will take it in the fall. Micro I find interesting but very hard to digest without having taken...

  12. Columbus IVY TECH students

    Innurse78 replied to IndyMitchell's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Tina, Both B-town and Columbus have a 100% pass rate for both the ASN and the NCLEX tests!! They really help prepare you for them as much as they can. I have been an LPN for 17...

  13. B-town Ivy Tech Vs Columbus?

    Innurse78 replied to Innurse78's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I am taking Micro through Terra Haute as we speak. I had an excellent experience last semester with ANP2

  14. Columbus IVY TECH students

    Innurse78 replied to IndyMitchell's topic in Indiana Nursing

    This is just my personal opinion........... When I applied at Indy for the transitional program alomst 2 weeks ago, I found them very cold and not helpful at all. The secretary was way to busy for...

  15. Another TEAS question........... :o)

    Innurse78 posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    I just finished my third and final TEAS test which was 84.1%. I flunked my 1st two times-missing them by 2.5 points on the science part. Question is: Do they use the total scores of all the test...

  16. Another TEAS question........... :o)

    Innurse78 replied to Innurse78's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Hi, Indy takes 40-60 transitional students; Columbus takes 40-60 and Blomington takes 20. I got 3-A's and 1-B on my co-req's and an 84.1% on my final TEAS. I applied to Indy but was really not...

  17. how much Indiana nurses make

    Innurse78 replied to nurseluv9's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I make 58.00 an hour; got a 25,000 sign on bonus up front; I work only 10 hours a week but get paid for a full 40 hours and I have a 2 hour paid lunch everyday and only look after 2 patients-- Johhny...

  18. Another TEAS question........... :o)

    Innurse78 replied to Innurse78's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I applied at Indy today and they only take the reading from the highest test. I thought that they would use all the three results and average them out.........but that was incorrect.( IE: if I had an...

  19. LPN's is this true?

    Innurse78 replied to CantWait2Nurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Excellent reply! We were thinking of moving to Florida a few years back but the home-owners insurance skyrocketed which quickly changed out minds. Health insurance is also a huge must-know benefit...

  20. LPN's is this true?

    Innurse78 replied to CantWait2Nurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Like the other posts mentioned, all depends where you wok. Here is Bloomington, they offer about 22 in a LTC facility; Bloomington hospital is not hiring LPN's anymore as they are truying to get...

  21. Ivy Tech Program entry

    Innurse78 replied to cherrypick's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Exactly! Like I always tell my husband, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. But you are very correct. Nursing has so many different

  22. Ivy Tech Program entry

    Innurse78 replied to cherrypick's topic in Indiana Nursing

    After being an LPN for 17 years, I can deal with the dead body thing of an elderly person............but I know I couldn't with a child. That would just tear me up inside and out. I guess I am...

  23. Ivy Tech Program entry

    Innurse78 replied to cherrypick's topic in Indiana Nursing

    At times, I wonder WHY I am in nursing! Mortuary science is looking better and better all the

  24. Ivy Tech Program entry

    Innurse78 replied to cherrypick's topic in Indiana Nursing

    It depends also on if you have your co-req's done. The more you have done, the less school time. At Bloomington, once you enter their nursing classes, they own you. They tell you when to jump and how...

  25. Ivy Tech Richmond

    Innurse78 replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Indiana Nursing

    With the shortage of nurses, you would think that they would smarten up and get those instructors hired. I have seen a few ads in the paper for nursing instructors for the B-town campus. I think they...
