  1. New Grads in the ICU

    37changes replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    OP, like you said, it's a necessity. There are reasons for this. Unless you can fix the root causes of this necessity, then really ~ the focus needs to be on supporting those new grads in every way...

  2. Indiana Nursing Programs

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

    Like I said, your overall GPA is not going to matter at Ivy Tech. You want top grades in the classes I listed, and the best TEAS score you can get. I highly recommend getting all of your...

  3. Indiana Nursing Programs

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

    I am just finishing ADN program at Ivy Tech. Admission is based on a scoring system using your grades from quantitative reasoning (math), English, Psychology, and A&P 101, plus TEAS score. Your...

  4. Academic adviser says I'm selling myself short by going into nursing.

    37changes replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    I don't think you are missing anything. I have watched this thread, and my gut told me in the very first post when the advisor said "nursing is so hard to get into and takes so long" ... that she...

  5. New Grad changes Preceptor. Help!

    37changes replied to MOmama's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd ask to speak to your previous preceptor privately when she has a few minutes. And I'd have the conversation that you likely should have had in the first place. Explain to her that you felt like...

  6. LTC nurses: Can I hear from you, please?

    37changes replied to 37changes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's been awhile since I've posted here, but I think of this thread often. I appreciate all of the comments! I went to tour two of my aunt's facilities -- one is assisted living, and one is...

  7. ati 2016 comprehensive predictor

    37changes replied to al4747's topic in General Nursing

    We took comp predictor at the beginning of our last semester and again at the end. We also did practice A and B online. They were all different, of course. What you really need to look at is your...

  8. nursing diaganosis help!!

    37changes replied to monkey3369's topic in General Students

    You're not that lost. :) I've seen some really bad ones. Lol. It sounds good to me. Although personally, I would remove the word "both". The care plans on nurselabs.com will be a HUGE help...

  9. Clinicals..

    37changes replied to poliwag48's topic in General Students

    I'd say what you are feeling is approximately 100% normal for approximately 100% of nursing students. Hang in

  10. Highly Sensitive People in Nursing: Stress & Burnout - Research

    37changes replied to RNliveoak's topic in General Nursing

    If you go to the Amazon page for the HSP book by Anon, there is a list right there on the product page, from the book. I'm reading it now & having to tear myself away from it to do, you know,...

  11. Help plz! Will it be worth it in the end?

    37changes replied to Ca.nurse2b101's topic in General Students

    I have no personal experience in California, but I have a friend in LA who went $150,000 in student loan debt for a BSN at a private school. She regrets it every day of her

  12. Highly Sensitive People in Nursing: Stress & Burnout - Research

    37changes replied to RNliveoak's topic in General Nursing

    When my sister first presented the term to me, my gut reaction was to be repelled by it. "Nope, I'm going to be a nurse. I can't be a highly sensitive person." I pictured crying over the smallest...

  13. Intro to Chemistry or Microbiology?

    37changes replied to Kotylynne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, glad I could provide some laughter. :) For some reason I thought you were applying for next fall anyway. Best wishes for getting it all figured

  14. Mandatory Vaccination

    37changes replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    ������ Does it work to use it from your phone? Edit: Haha, nope! But now I know what it means when those question marks show up like

  15. Intro to Chemistry or Microbiology?

    37changes replied to Kotylynne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes. Someone else shared that site with me to show me (for example) that we have to take Ivy Tech A&P 1, 2, AND advanced in order for Ball State to accept credit for their one A&P class. I...

  16. Highly Sensitive People in Nursing: Stress & Burnout - Research

    37changes replied to RNliveoak's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for bringing this up. My sister recently told me about a documentary she watched, about highly sensitive people. She feels that she is definitely one of them, and I would say I probably...

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

    Haha, I don't know about hero... but that made me smile this morning. :) Thank you & you're welcome. I haven't thought much about this thread lately, but in the beginning it was so helpful to...

  18. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    I haven't heard that before -- but I sure hope it's true! I was wondering how it compares. And whether their predictions are accurate. Congrats on your 98% -- sounds like things are going well, and...

  19. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    Thanks! :) It's called TEAS Mastery. Same company makes one called NCLEX-RN and I love that one, too. I've used it to cram in questions before exams and I definitely feel like it helps with my...

  20. RN, ADN being obsolete

    37changes replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    Hoosiers are in Indiana -- and it is definitely not this way in the entire

  21. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    Just finished my LAST proctored exam for this program (!!!) -- the ATI comp predictor -- with a 99% chance of passing NCLEX first time. I will freaking take it! Lol. Man, what a relief to be...

  22. Intro to Chemistry or Microbiology?

    37changes replied to Kotylynne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check out this site: Indiana Commission for Higher Education

  23. RN, ADN being obsolete

    37changes replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    This is definitely area-specific and I would advise looking at / listening to actual hospitals in your area, not anyone trying to sell you a program. Our local hospital hires ADN all day long, and...

  24. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    There are several people in my cohort who did Chemistry online before they started the nursing program. I tried to do it along with our crazy first semester -- and that was just too much for my brain...

  25. Ivy Tech Fall 2017 Hopefuls

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

    Graduation isn't until May for us. Our cohort decided to do our own pinning ceremony ~ completely put together by students, with faculty invited. I guess a lot of people won't be able to make it in...
