  2. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    Great to hear 37changes. I just knew things would turn around for you! It has been another week and in nursing lab today we worked on taking vitals, caring for the catheter site and emptying a foley...

  3. LPN to RN Ivy tech 2017 applicants

    Leadkrm replied to Nurseteej's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Good luck you all. Although I do not have any transitional students in my classes, the nursing staff at Lawrence gave much praise and looked forward to the lpn to rn students. There did not seem to be...

    Thank you! Seems you guys are on a different routine then. I hope it goes well. Seems like you have your hands full. Nursing lab was not as bad as I thought it would be. It turned out to be kind of...

  5. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    If our campuses are the same then the anatomy classes have very little room for error. Aphy 101 was based on 600 points. This only allows 60 points to be missed before you drop to a B grade. We had...

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

    Well because of MLK day, I haven't started class yet, but wish me luck because I have my first nursing lab tomorrow. We had a small 10 question quiz on Tuesday that I received a 10/10 on so hopefully...

  7. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    all of the LPN classes do a 12 month program which includes the summer. I think the OP was interested in the traditional ASN track of study, but what you say is true. The practical nursing students...

  8. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    Well at least you got that issue cleared up. I recently washed my ivy tech scrub top with chapstick on accident and had grease spots all over it. I couldn't get the spots out myself and the bookstore...

  9. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    if I were you 37changes, I would bypass my counselor and contact the chair of the nursing department directly by email. I don't know about your campus, but my advisors were almost always clueless with...

  10. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    Wow, it sounds as though you have a very ideal situation! Congratulations on having all the prerequisites finished. In my opinion, as long as you get an 80 or above on the teas, you will have a choice...

    Good luck Marquieshah. Having financial help is always a plus. Even though you are recieving hep from your mother, apply for federal aid as well if you haven't already done so. I know I would not be...

  12. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    Your campus might be different but we did not require either a lab coat or a scrub top. Email your instructor to double check because the department chair usually writes the syllabus and the...

  13. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    I have a 6 year old in school and a 4 year old. I agree that the short term hit financially will be worth the job security and job availability for you after gaining your license. That's how we got...

  14. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    During our orientation on Thursday, we were able to take a lunch with a lot of current and former students. They all answered questions very honestly and have confirmed many things I was always...

  15. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    i had to take mine in Columbus. Franklin is available for placements tests but not the teas test unfortunately. My best advise would be to make sure all of your co requisites are finished before you...

  16. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    Although I am at the Lawrence campus and just starting the program this week, I have to state that there was no student involvement in the scheduling. The department chair did all of it without and...

  17. Ivy Tech 2017 Applicants

    Leadkrm replied to KadijahRn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    What has your advisor said about your score? I'm not sure about the FW campus, but I would think you have about a 50/50 shot. That's just a guess

    Leadkrm replied to KadijahRn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The practice tests in the teas study guide were very helpful. I'm glad you found a source that helps you. I honestly think that much of this stuff is over hyped by the staff. I do not want to sound...

  19. Ivy Tech 2017 Applicants

    Leadkrm replied to KadijahRn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    For the teas test, just get the study guide that ati sells. There were no questions on my teas test that the study guide did not go over. It's a great resource. I found mine on offer up for $15. From...

    Leadkrm replied to KadijahRn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    No problem at all. I really am glad to help where I can because it's very nerve racking to spend a lot of time and money only to have to wait and find out if you are accepted into the

  21. Ivy Tech 2017 Applicants

    Leadkrm replied to KadijahRn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I know my friend who got in with the 131 had a B in aphy101. If she had an A her score would have been 141! Although you can get in with the lower score, your chances increase greatly with a score...

  22. Ivy Tech 2017 Applicants

    Leadkrm replied to KadijahRn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Just to elaborate a bit more on the importance of the class grades, with your current situation you get 20pts for aphy101, 15pts for psych101, and 15pts for eng111. You start with 50pts then add your...

    I got into the spring 2017 program with a score of 142.46. A friend of mine got into the Columbus program for fall 2016 with a 131. It all depends on the strength of the applicant pool. I will say...

  24. Part Time Nursing Programs

    Leadkrm replied to britthoch1's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I have not noticed any part time programs. You have the right idea. Get all the co-reqs out of the way before the program. I got into the program and I have the micro biology and chemistry left to...
