  1. School Closings

    NurseEmmy replied to dreamer30's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I went to BMC and graduated with around $15,000 in debt. That was about 10 years ago. Back then the options were limited in the area. I have had NO issue with getting any jobs despite attending there....

  2. Bed Bugs

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the link. I am doing everything I can think of to limit my brining them home. I no longer bring my bag of stuff to work. I change my clothes in my unattached garage. I leave my shoes at...

  3. Itt tech-Breckinridge possible shutdown

    NurseEmmy replied to Momma2bubba's topic in School, College Programs

    I went to a private school for my LPN. None of my credits transferred and my school closed as well. It was far from easy and had decent NCLEX pass rates, but had other issues. I'm sorry you are going...

  4. Weed and Nursing School! Help!!!

    NurseEmmy replied to Sldimuccio12086's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wouldn't lie. It is easy enough for them to call the other school and ask what the problem was. Instead be honest and write about what lesson you learned. You asked to not be lectured, but you are...

  5. Divorce and nursing school

    NurseEmmy replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    You can do this. There have been plenty of people in your position. Don't drop out, just

  6. Commute

    NurseEmmy replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    I show up early. If parking is an issue get there before classes start. I would definitely get there early before clinicals. You NEVER want to be late to

  7. Death by A&P a summer course

    NurseEmmy replied to hhartmann's topic in General Students

    Wow.. I would not have done such an accelerated course, but everyone is different. I suggest using Khan Academy. It has videos on nearly every subject. The videos tend to be pretty reliable and easy...

  8. NCLEX select all that apply questions?

    NurseEmmy replied to Nursecrystal2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I HATE SATA questions! We have them on every nursing school test and they tend to be the ones I miss the most. I am glad we are getting used to them, but they suck! I did not have as much experience...

  9. My fellow LPN-RN Ivy Tech Transition buddies

    NurseEmmy posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    How are things going for you? Did you get all of your information submitted yet? Did you get your uniforms ordered? I have just about everything they said we needed to start, but I'm having a...

  12. Please evaluate me

    NurseEmmy replied to lp31897's topic in General Students

    You need to talk to the nursing department as well as admissions at your preferred college. Only they could give you any real insight on your chances. I will say C's are not good. Taking your A&P...

  13. Bad semester...

    NurseEmmy replied to studentx19's topic in General Students

    Your grades shouldn't have much impact on your job prospects. Just try to figure out what is holding you back and go from there. I believe there is more involved than you transferring from a CC. For...

  14. Nurse

    NurseEmmy replied to zusan's topic in General Students

    I don't see why it would prevent you from being a nurse. My husband stutters and while he is currently a stay at home Dad, he has worked in a variety of fields. Sure sometimes it has been difficult,...

  15. Correct terminology?

    NurseEmmy replied to Ellie.D's topic in General Students

    I have only heard B-U-N before, but perhaps it depends on the

  16. My fellow LPN-RN Ivy Tech Transition buddies

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I have Pharm as well as the lab & classroom lpn-asn transition class. I picked up my books today.. My god they must weight at least

  17. My fellow LPN-RN Ivy Tech Transition buddies

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Each school is different with what they will accept. It depends on the number of applicants. I got A's in all of my prereqs and acceptable (or whatever the term they use) for the TEAS V. I don't...

    Where did you get your list of books from? I tried to order them online, but it wouldn't let me. Completely

  23. poor resident care/bad CNA's

    NurseEmmy replied to AmyWI22's topic in General Students

    I am a nurse who has worked in a LTC/AL/Rehab facility. I can tell you that I have written up plenty of lazy nurses and aides. If the DON/ADON aren't willing to do anything about it, nothing changes....

  24. Ivy tech LPN - RN Transition summer 2016

    NurseEmmy replied to YourFaveNurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    You will need an updated PE with your physician. They will get you the forms. You will need a 2 step PPD, influenza vaccine, updated Dtap (or Tdap depending on your vaccine history/last dose of Dtap),...

  25. Terrified

    NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Students

    I was accepted into the program, classes start next month. My husband could work, but it would be impossible for him to hold down a job with my schedule. He does have some health issues which flare up...
