RN Program..ADVICE NEEDED

Okay so I am currently taking my pre-reqs at Ivy Tech State College in Northwest Indiana. I am very nervous that I am not going to get into the RN nor the LPN program right away. I know many people that havent got in and have applied 3 times! Great grades in pre-reqs and teas test!

I am looking for a back up plan. I dont want to be in school forever. I have been looking into Surgical Tech and Phelobotomy as a back up. I would like some in put on what to do. Im soooo confused. I also looked at Everst College in Merrillville for LPN and Indiana Dabney in hammond. Im lost! Indiana Dabney does not offer financial aide and is a 15 month accel RN Program..Im so Confused!

Please some advice is much needed

Thanks in advance

If you have good grades in prereqs and a decent TEAS score, you really should have no problem getting into Ivy Tech. I know people that were accepted at the Indy campus to the LPN program with C's and low 80's on the TEAS.

Just make sure you apply to -both- the RN and LPN programs.

I am graduating from Bethel College (Mishawaka, IN) in May and have loved my experience. They really prepare you for nursing. I highly recommend it. It is expensive but they could prob get you in right away. Good luck.

I had one A, 2 B's, and one C, and a TEAS of I think high 70's and got in the Muncie program in 2005. I am just finishing the transitional RN program now. I had 2 A's and 2 B's and a TEAS of 82% for that one. I retook the class I had a C in and ended up with an A to get into the transitional. So if you can make it into the LPN, it is not as hard to get into the transitional RN usually.
