  1. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Awesome news. I took my second predictor and got a 98% chance of passing the first try. I have heard ati is harder than the actual nclex as well and I am hoping to schedule my exam for early January....

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Micro has been the hardest class I have taken in Lawrence by far. We had 150 point exams. 30 points we're term matching and the other 120 points were essay style questions. Lab was pretty typical lab...

  3. Intro to Chemistry or Microbiology?

    Leadkrm replied to Kotylynne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started out slowly as well. I understand. I honestly think it's a good idea if you have the time. The program itself is enough time dedication itself without worrying about the other classes. You...

    It's going to be a bit tough if you aren't decent at chem. I took it online and it was ok. A lot of work was required but the class wasn't impossible. I imagine you will be

    Good to hear. Lawrence does their pinning and graduation December 15th as well. I'm not attending those ceremonies, but have a great time to all those who are. I want to stay in the peds world, but...

    I had those for 10 weeks because I took them in the summer. Pretty odd

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    I haven't heard about this. I am almost done at the Lawrence campus. I haven't heard about it. Do you have any examples of what you

  8. Intro to Chemistry or Microbiology?

    Leadkrm replied to Kotylynne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure you have been informed correctly by the advisor. Everyone I have spoken to in the program has been told that advance physiology doesn't bridge over to most bsn programs, but micro does. I...

    Good luck on your application. Which campus is your top

    How is everyone this semester? I miss hearing from everyone. I'm on thanksgiving break after tomorrow. Then 3 weeks until graduation. It's been a long time coming

  11. new night shift nurse always tired on days off

    Leadkrm replied to ddrn97's topic in General Nursing

    I work 12 hour nights. What I do is my last shift of the week, when I get off in the morning, I only sleep until noon or 2 at the latest. Then I get up and use my day. I'm tired and ready for bed...

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    The peds portion is very straight forward and not bad at all. It's the ob portion that needs some work. I am going to wish you luck. I hear capstone is a lot of busy work and not much else. I can't...

  13. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Ah. I have capstone on Thursday morning. Honestly I think the ob portion of the class was severely underserved. The teacher told us that she usually gets C's when she goes back and takes her own tests...

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Good point. I didn't think about it being different at each

  15. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Oh goodness no. It's by semester. You need the initial lab bag. Then the other sim bags are for your clinical class on certain simulation days that are spread throughout the entire program. The...

  16. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    It's all pretty expensive. It isn't just the books. You will need to buy lab kits, simulation kits. I would look at the course numbers in the outline and plug it into the bookstore. It will pull up...

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you. I work at Riley hospital as a PCA now and my unit manager wants to keep me on the unit as a nurse if she has a spot for it. She is good about keeping her people. So early 2019 I should be...

    I'll be in my last semester this fall as well. I'm sure we will have class together if you are in the Thursday morning capstone class.

    You must have Randal as a lab instructor then terpturnedrn. If so then you got a good one. He doesn't usually teach lab. He's a good clinical instructor too. I know everything seems like a blur...

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Labs were 16 weeks for us at Lawrence. The thing I don't enjoy about my school is that some instructors want to make things harder than they are. They make over think some things and I feel it's...

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Congrats guys. I'm glad you are doing well. Have fun at clinical. Don't let the patient load of the nursing home get you burnt out. In hospitals it is only like 5 per nurse. I'm sure the med pass in a...

    I haven't gotten any notifications. Hm well I took pharm in my 2nd semester. I'm in the third. I have passed mental health clinical. It was only 8 weeks. Next week is the last week of it and it will...

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    No worries. I'm sure you are a great help. We up here have to set appointments with our instructor to review any tests. I'm glad you guys are addressing that. It's

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    I say that because that campus seems to be unfairly hard balling first semester

  25. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

    Leadkrm replied to 37changes's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, I am surprised at the 4 week schedule. Like you said, it's laughable to call that accross state. Maybe the people failing should see if withdrawling from classes and reapplying to a different...
