  8. Ivy Tech 'Fall 2010' Applicants

    sunnysideup09 replied to Emmi7's topic in Indiana Nursing

  9. Scope of Practice / Nurse Practice Act

    sunnysideup09 replied to xoemmylouox's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Your workplace should have a policy on what an LPN can do. The Nurse practice act is very vague on the roles. http://www.in.gov/pla/files/ISBN_2008_EDITION.pdf see page

  13. MedTech College

    sunnysideup09 replied to lasdrs07's topic in Indiana Nursing

  14. Ivy Tech Indy Program- Ob and Peds

    sunnysideup09 replied to rubberychicken's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Here are my thoughts - the lectures are provided to you in audio format prior to the class. So, I wouldn't believe everything you hear. Okay, so lectures aren't face to face, but I wouldn't say you're...

  17. Are A's Impossible at Ivy Tech?

    sunnysideup09 replied to milan18400's topic in Indiana Nursing

  19. How many students does Ivy Tech Indianapolis take?

    sunnysideup09 replied to SunshineTMW222's topic in Indiana Nursing

    120 in both the fall and the spring. It is pretty competitive. If you get a C in any of the prerequisites, it will be hard to get into the RN program. You need to have mostly A's and a good TEAS...

    sunnysideup09 replied to jonesLPN's topic in Indiana Nursing
