    NurseGirl525 replied to 7237dallas's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I will probably be out the week before trying to get everything I need. I will be purchasing a nice stethoscope because from what I understand you get what you pay for. I already have some scrubs...

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

    I really like IU Health. My neurologist is at IU in Indianapolis and I have been very happy with them. I also like Community. Ivy Tech partners with St. Vincents up here and they generally pick...

    NurseGirl525 replied to juligo26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are ways to get over the aversion to blood. I just did a paper in my Psych class on hemophobia. I read an interesting paper on a girl who wanted to be a nurse but the smell of blood made her...

    Thinking Ahead about References

    NurseGirl525 replied to ammil87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a SAHM also and have been for 8 years so I will have a large gap on my resume. I will work that out when I get an interview, I am hoping. I have kept in touch with some of my previous employers...

    Help! I missed their call and now I can't get a hold of them.

    NurseGirl525 replied to ManekiNekoRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would think the reason they were calling was to see if you had relocated to Florida or not already and finding out that you weren't, they realized 2 weeks was too short of a time span for you to...

    Just signed up for my pre-reqs at Mesa Community College. So excited!

    NurseGirl525 replied to bellabee32's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I first started 15 years ago I had taken A&P I and a communications class and I got to keep mine. There wasn't an issue with it. I don't know if it is because I went back to the same school...

    Pre-reqs need advice

    NurseGirl525 replied to angela82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II and micro together. A&P I is a requirement before micro because you need a basic understanding of cells before delving into micro. I would wait on

    NurseGirl525 replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    You may not like the term busybody but you know what comes to mind when you describe what is going on? The neighbor lady on the show Bewitched who was always sticking her nose in where it didn't...

    Seriously on the verge of going crazy..

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

    If you have been accepted already just keep the C. That is all we need to pass a class and if I had already been accepted, I wouldn't worry about it too

    TEAS Test Results

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

    I think it is pretty good. I got a 78 and am very happy with that. It just depends on what the other applicants who are applying to your program are

    Anderson has 20, Muncie 30, and New Castle 20. I can't drive the whole way to New Castle. Muncie is about 20 miles where Anderson is only 10 so I am really hoping to get into there. We've all been...

    Dismissed From ADN Program After 2 Course Failure

    NurseGirl525 replied to 2bRN2014_1's topic in General Students

    The question is, why did you fail? I would ask myself that before trying any other programs especially accelerated which usually have stricter standards than regular programs. I would then call...

    Acceptance letters-Ivy Tech 2014

    NurseGirl525 replied to rnjacqui's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Oh yes, I have heard about Lawrence. Many people come to Anderson to take classes because they are really, really hard down there I have heard. It's not that Anderson is easy, I just think we have...

    Accelerated ADN program?

    NurseGirl525 replied to mommycruz3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes. If they are not regionally accredited, they will not transfer. It pretty much means nothing. I have a friend going for her LPN right now at a for profit school. She is paying double for her...

    What to do about a classmate that is a pathological liar?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Why do you care though, is the question? So what if he is telling people lies. I feel sorry for him. He is probably doing it either to try and fit in or feel better about himself. He probably...

    NurseGirl525 replied to rnjacqui's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I am applying to the Anderson campus. You retook a 76%? That's a pretty good score. I got a 78 and from what I understand no one yet has applied with a score above that. I also have all A's in the...

    NurseGirl525 replied to aeris99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you already been accepted to the program? Are any of these classes prereqs that determine you entrance? If you drop are you allowed to take it over the summer? Will it affect your financial...

    Accelerated ADN program?

    NurseGirl525 replied to mommycruz3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And I am just going to add this, if it not regionally accredited, your credits will not transfer and they will mean nothing. Say you get a job at a hospital with your ADN and they require you to get...
