    Anyone starting Ivy Tech ASN pre-reqs this Fall ('14)?

    NurseGirl525 replied to MidWestGal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My Psych class was not really hard. I took it in person and had a great professor. English 111 depends on the teacher honestly. It is a lot of writing. A lot. It took up a lot of time. And if...

    Would an online A&P course affect admission?

    NurseGirl525 replied to uganurse19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only way to know is to check with the school and see if they accept online credits with lab. Many schools are having a problem getting their online sciences accredited. My personal opinion is...

    Male nursing dress code?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Wutermelon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes each school is different. I know at mine if as a woman you have long hair it has to be pulled up off the shoulder and it can't hang in your face. So I know with my hair style although it is...

    Anyone starting Ivy Tech ASN pre-reqs this Fall ('14)?

    NurseGirl525 replied to MidWestGal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting the ASN program in August at Anderson. Are math 080/123 the same thing? I thought any 0 level math class was remedial and you got no credit where a 100 level class was a college level...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Melarue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was accepted in Ivy Tech Muncie campus for fall 2014. I had all A's in the prereqs. You get 30 points a piece for the A&P's, 15 for English 111, and 15 for Psych 101. I was told to get at...

    how do you apply for prerequisites?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ichtus2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can apply online. It is really easy. They will send you something usually a couple of days after applying about whether you have been accepted or not. You then take the accuplacer to see where...

    Patients Cheeking medications

    NurseGirl525 replied to sdegracia's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    And while I understand what you are saying, when you have patients on medicaid they aren't visiting 3-4 times a year. They visit way more than that for several reasons. They are on medicaid for a...

    NurseGirl525 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't use the answers on quizlet. I make up my own cards from lectures and then use those to study. Once you enter your own stuff in it will mix up the flash cards for you and make like matching...

    How to study????

    NurseGirl525 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't have to take proctored tests? If not then I assume the professors know people open their books to check answers. All of my tests are proctored so I can't look at answers. But I am only...

    Nursing Cas

    NurseGirl525 replied to Hopenergy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have heard bad things about that website. I wouldn't use it. Plus the website hasn't even been updated since 2013. Seems shady to me. Just fill out the apps of the schools you want to go to....

    Alternate ways to being a nurse?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ash012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think a 3.66 is all that bad. Just make sure you get those A's!! Also write a stellar essay. They are most likely really going to look at A&P I and II and a couple of others if you are...

    Hello advice and thoughts

    NurseGirl525 replied to sunnylovee's topic in Canada

    I would go back and get your diploma. In the US you would not be able to be a LPN without a high school diploma or GED. You need to complete your high school education first then go from

    No-Pass in second half of General Chemistry

    NurseGirl525 replied to atberk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is your general GPA? If you are looking to be an NP a C won't cut it. It won't cut it to get into most nursing programs as a RN. Sciences are more heavily weighted in most colleges looking at...

    [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    ATBS I think you are way off base saying only Americans can go to another culture and expect everything in English. I think that is why I now have to press 1 for English or I have to specify my...

    Husband not supportive of me going to school

    NurseGirl525 replied to sweetpea2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also realize you will be questioned by many more, even sleazier people in nursing. What I don't to happen is you waste time and money and find out you won't be happy in nursing either. I am paying...

    Husband not supportive of me going to school

    NurseGirl525 replied to sweetpea2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on what you want. Why do you feel trapped in your job? Is it a well paying job? Do you have benefits? The reason I ask is because I see a lot of people come on here with a...

    how do you apply for prerequisites?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ichtus2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is a TEOFL? Not sure what that is. But just go in and talk to an admissions officer at Ivy Tech. They are very helpful. If you look on INtransfer.net it will tell you which classes will...

    Taking anatomy and physiology during same semester?

    NurseGirl525 replied to MsDanielle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as one is not required for the other it shouldn't be a big deal. Two sciences together isn't really an issue as long as you work on

    Would you move for a school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. But then again I have a child. Is it grades or test scores holding you back? I would retake any classes I needed to or retake my entrance exam test to make myself more

    NurseGirl525 replied to ailish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have to work so I won't through nursing school. But I also know I am one of the lucky ones. Many people in my shoes would have to work. All of my prereqs and coreqs are done so all I have...
