Waiting on Ivy Tech acceptance letters thread

U.S.A. Indiana

Published

I thought it might be nice to have a place for us to vent our frustrations with waiting until May 30th or so when letters start going out. I know I'm going nuts already!

How about introductions and a little info about each person?

I'm applying to both Bloomington and Indy-Lawrence for the Fall 2009 ASN programs. I turned in my apps this week with 4 As on the pre-reqs and a 90.0 on the TEAS. My eventual goal is at least getting a BSN, and if I feel like doing homework long enough, an MSN of some sort. I work full time now, but will hopefully only work part time if I get accepted. I'm so antsy to start preparing and finally feel like all of this is real!

Does anyone have an estimate of the cost of everything (physicals, immunizations, titers, extras) that you had to pay for before you could use financial aid? Just trying to get an idea of what I should set back for summer so I can afford to buy everything (just in case!)!

I sign up for loans and receive aid. I am poor and no insurance. The health dept. provided the immunizations free and gave a nice print out to the school.Health dept will also combine your H/S immunizations to one data base for you. you need to start those now. Physical was $90 at a clinic, drug test and background was around $100.

Dumb question, but are you required to have insurance for yourself for the program or does the school provide a limited liability type insurance?

Hey I found this on page 14 of the Overview and Application Process Booklet:

LIABILITY STATEMENT

Malpractice insurance coverage is provided to all students enrolled in clinical nursing courses. The limits of liability for the Institutional Professional Liability coverage are $1,000,000 for each medical incident and $3,000,000 aggregate. This coverage extends to clinical experience at an institution other than the College when it is a part of the College training program. Each student may obtain additional individual . This coverage does not apply to employment situations such as externships and summer employment.

I'm nervous about even getting accepted. I had a really hard time picking a major in the beginning. I messed up my transcripts a little (my completion rate looks terrible but my GPA is a 3.3 still). I haven't taken APHY 1 or 2, Math 136, or Psych yet. I have an A in English, Communication, Ivy105 and Sociology though. Do you think I still have a chance in getting into the Lafayette nursing program?

I want to do nursing so badly, but am terrified that I am going to take all of the classes, bust my butt, and not get accepted into a program!
