    Ivy Tech (Indiana) Nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to MrsNinaCNA's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I am currently an ASN student in my first semester. The hardest part was the science for me. I found the math to be extremely easy. Nothing harder than algebra I. And if you have taken English 111...

    med tech

    NurseGirl525 replied to llove7's topic in Indiana Nursing

    They have never had accreditation for the RN program and just recently lost their LPN accreditation. That school is awful and very expensive. And no one will hire you if they know you went

    A little light reading

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

    Relax now!! Honestly, do it. Just have as much fun as possible between now and then. Nursing school doesn't take up your whole life, but it is a lot of work and can be exhausting and overwhelming...

    CSU minimum age requirement?

    NurseGirl525 replied to kdmf12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never heard of a program having an age requirement of 21. Once you are 18, you are legally considered an adult. You just can't drink alcohol.

    Jarvis questions

    NurseGirl525 replied to JCOWLING's topic in General Students

    I'm not understanding what you want. My Jarvis physical assessment book just helps with doing a head to toe assessment. There are no questions. Please tell us exactly what it is you are

    NurseGirl525 replied to littlesmilesalways's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You would have to have your R/T and AEB in your statement. What is the denial related to? What is the evidence that she is in denial? Those should help you write your 3 part

    NurseGirl525 replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    We get our own supplies at my school so don't presume this guy stole them. We get a red lab bag which has plenty of materials for iv start kits. I have 4 or 5 in my bag alone. We get absolutely...

    NurseGirl525 replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my first semester of the program. I'm loving it and it is a lot to take in. The biggest part is staying organized. As long as I am organized and keep things straight I am fine. We did...

    Professor tested us on the wrong topics

    NurseGirl525 replied to kvyates's topic in General Students

    This is a labor and delivery class right? I would think that material would be on the test. We have people in my class who ask each exam what is going to be on the test. Like that is the most...

    NurseGirl525 replied to danlee's topic in General Students

    Might I also just add, sexual harassment is a very big deal. Don't come on here to make this stuff up. Anyone who doesn't understand the implications of what you did does not need to be in nursing...

    Oh Danlee I just think you make this stuff up. There is no way anyone does the stuff you do in all of these programs who claim to have attended. Most people learn after their first mistake. It's...

    CNA to BSN

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

    I would in enroll in the CNA course and take dual credit classes with your local community college. Knock your prereqs out of the way. Even though an Associates is a 2 year degree with the prereqs...

    Online vs. Classroom/Hybrid

    NurseGirl525 replied to hahcna's topic in General Students

    It depends on the class. I think the hard sciences are better done in person. I feel labs need to be done in person. Soft sciences, math, and humanities can be done online. As far as nursing...

    NurseGirl525 replied to paramedic90's topic in School, College Programs

    NurseGirl525 replied to parkforester's topic in General Students

    We must get a 92% to get an A. I have not become a hermit nor do I devote every second to studying. I know people in my program that do that and they are driving themselves crazy right now....
