Ivy Tech Community College

The worst online course I have ever had in Ivy Tech Community College as a guest student.

Not being a student, all I can say is what an incredible looking school. I was impressed with its landscaping and building design. It’s easy to get to and easy to find. Everybody knows where Ivy Tech Community College in Bloomington, Indiana is.

I give it 4 stars for the nursing program. I’ve gone to this school for 4 years (I went to school part time during part of it). First the nursing program. The program was very selective. During which, most all the people except 1 made it through each of the programs in my experience. I received my LPN certificate here during 1 year and the ASN diploma through the LPN to RN transition program another year.
The LPN course was a little bit on the lax side in the lecture content because there wasn’t a big enough emphasis on learning/​memorizing the material. I’ve seen a couple people make it through the whole program without buying a couple of the books which was a little upsetting. The clinical rotations for this program were excellent learning environments and the observational days gave me new direction on where I wanted to be when I finish. I liked how each clinical day was challenging in its own way. The biggest downside of the LPN program is that I totally felt unprepared to work as a nurse so I decided to continue my education through their LPN to ASN program.
The ASN program was exceptional. The lecture content was very involved requiring some outside class time to fulfill experiences like community service projects and group therapy observations. I learned more in this program than I expected and the lecture integrated very well with the clinical content. The greatest aspect of the LPN to ASN transition program was the amount of independence the instructors provided you at the end of the program which gave the students room to grow and experience what real life nursing would be like without someone constantly peering over your shoulder. This nursing program is better than others I have looked into and participated in, including IU’s nursing program and Sinclair Community College in Dayton Ohio’s program. ⁵⁄₅! For those that want more hands on experience or for the people who work/​have families, this is the best place you can be. I have never felt more prepared to work in healthcare until I finished this program.
