HI! I am starting the RN program at Ivy Tech Indy in January! Can't wait! Where will you be attending? :balloons:

:balloons:I start Ivy Tech Columbus Jan 14th, 2008 I can't wait. My student loan hasn't went thru yet, so I haven't got my books yet, bummer....

I am also starting the RN program at an Ivy Tech! The Fort Wayne Ivy Tech... so just like two hours above you! I am excited too, but I can already feel the butterflies in my stomach! Nervous!

I have not bought my books yet either! About $1200 for the 17 books we will need for first semester here at Ivy Tech Fort Wayne! Ridiculous for someone who is only 20 and has no help - no financial aid, no student loans. Hope we get them soon!:balloons:

OMG make sure you shop around on the web sites for cheap books. amazon.com sells good used books. I have bought from them before. Good luck in school!

Wow, that's way more than books at the Bloomington campus! Mine were about $600 for 1st semester. My pharmacology class has a reading assignment due for the 1st day of class, so I've already been hitting the books.

I just bought my books with Student loan $ and the cost after tax was $710.. That doesn't include the extra books everyone says you need. I go to Ivy Tech Columbus... How many Pharmacology books did you get? Mine came with 3 books?? Are you taking it online??

I took your advice and used amazon. My total was just over $800! I saved so much money! Thanks so much

I can not figure out why Ivy Tech Fort Wayne sounds so much different than the other Ivy Tech campuses. I hear that other students need a lot less books, a lot less worry about being accepted (hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of people apply here, year after year, and never get in with even very high grades and great TEAS scores), and it just seems like stress is lower! Am I wrong? Are other Ivy Tech's just as difficult as this campus?

I know that we have a 100% nursing success rate here. No one has ever failed. We have very dedicated instructors.

We don't have the option of taking any nursing courses online. They schedule those for you and you show up when they tell you to :). My pharmacology bundle came with the pharmacology textbook and a Lippincott's drug guide. Also, we have a Math for Meds workbook to be done at home on our own time.

Ya, I'm not sure why they are different? You would think that the schools would be the same since they are ALL Ivy Tech... My books are different from my friends that got in at the Indy Campus.??:trout:

I don't know about you all but I am getting
