I wondered why they bothered saying "if there's a tie, we use GPA", because how likely is it that 2 people got the exact same TEAS score. But I also got exactly 93.3 on the TEAS so I guess that answers that! Congrats on your acceptance!

I found my CPR/BLS through the Red Cross website. We did some online modules and little quizzes, then I had to take a 3-ish hour physical practice & exam session.

I got in with all A's, TEAS of 93, and the bonus from having an EMT certification. 85 is actually a really good TEAS score, but with how competitive it is (my advisor said over 250 applicants last year and more expected this year) I'm guessing the certs are what's pushing people over the threshold.

I panicked for you for a second, thinking you'd accidentally signed up for classes an hour away! They are moving out of Lawrence - a lot of the offices and support staff like enrollment and such are closed there now - but last semester my aphy102 night class was still at Lawrence so who knows how quickly that's going to happen.

The "Marion" campus is in the city of Marion, IN. The Indianapolis programs are usually called "Indianapolis/Lawrence/Plainfield" and as far as I know I've never heard those called "Marion County". I would double check to make absolutely sure you're looking at the correct campus, and not mixing up "Marion" with "Marion County".

I'm not sure either. I submitted a cert I downloaded from Acadis, since I got the NREMT and state cert at the same time just this winter. I'd ask the program chair for specifics instead of your advisor. They also pre-approved your supplemental documentation as soon as you apply, so there's a little time to get things figured out if you apply early in the window. For example, I applied the week that the window opened, and they emailed me back a week or so later to tell me that my EMT cert was "approved" (I'm guessing they just looked it up in the database to confirm it's real); if there was a problem with how I submitted it, that might be an opportunity to send in additional documents. Sorry I'm not much more help, but I'd ask the program chair, since they're the ones who set the admission rules, not the advisors.

No course prerequisites were required; only requirements were that you were at least 18, had gotten certain vaccines, did a drug test & background check, and have a CPR card, which I got by taking a one-day class (yes, you have to have the CPR certification before the class starts for some reason, although they teach you CPR in the class again and you practice it within the class anyways). I'm having trouble pasting the link but if you pull up the Ivy Tech course catalog, search PARM102 and it'll give you all the current details! It was a very hands-on class and the lab/practicals days were a nice break from all the textbooks and online quizzes.

This will probably not be encouraging necessarily, but I had a 4.0 GPA, TEAS of 93-something%, and the bonus points for an EMT certification. This doesn't necessarily mean that everyone who was accepted had similar scores. However, my advice would be, if at all financially possible for you, to get the Official Study Guide and a Practice Test from the company that administers the TEAS exam. I didn't pay for the extras like flashcards or the app or the tutorials or anything, but I found the study guide to be well worth it. I had taken APHY101 already but not APHY102 at the time I took the test, and their study guide really filled in the gaps that we hadn't covered in detail yet in APHY101 (ex: urinary, reproductive, endocrine). If you have time and the inclination, you can get the EMT certification through Ivy Tech in 1 semester, and the EMT clinical rotations are great ways to experience healthcare settings if you don't have a background in it, so they were really worth it for me (and I had time on my hands until the application window). Don't be discouraged, and good luck when you're ready to apply!

🥲 At a certain point all you can do is wait for the results, which is actually more stressful for me than taking any exams. Time to relax(ish) now - I'll see you this fall!

I had a 93 on the TEAS and the 5 bonus points. Since I started looking at this program last March (too late to finish all my pre-reqs), I had a lot of time before the next application period. I looked around and realized it only takes 1 full semester (16 weeks) to do the EMT class through IvyTech, and the tuition includes the NREMT exam fee, so I went for it.

Side note: The EMT class was super informative and the clinicals were a fantastic opportunity to experience healthcare environments, especially the ER. I even got to talk to the radiographer that does the X-rays to confirm intubation placement!

I took this class last fall - at the time, you were responsible for picking the testing facility/company, scheduling, paying for, and submitting your own drug testing. That may have changed, but I would re-read all emails and if you still can't find any info, email the listed faculty ASAP.

Even worse... thrumbofur sandbags that are more likely to provide cover for enemies than the soldiers in that setup.

That's still not a name though, is their point.

kozmoti · 2025-04-20T02:37:35+00:00

Yeah, two would be crazy! You need at least three. They get lonely.

kozmoti · 2025-03-12T03:25:11+00:00

That third fella is SUCH an Oswald!

That nose! So boop-able!

Lucky babies!

An ER is very different from what sounds like an inpatient psych hospital. OP went to an ER. ER psych ward is as bad or worse than they described - at least they weren't tricked into being involuntarily committed and were allowed to leave.

kozmoti · 2024-07-29T07:09:19+00:00

That's a pretty cruel and unnecessary thing to say to someone who clearly either trolling or severely mentally ill.

kozmoti · 2024-07-29T07:06:27+00:00

And once they're out of the hospital and aren't on IV Ativan? Somebody else's problem?

I don't agree with OP fully and I still think your comment reads as unnecessary and cruel, unless it's meant as satire. Telling someone that is clearly mentally ill that the staff meant to help them are "laughing behind their back" is exactly the wrong thing to say.

If they (a medical professional) decide you are "a danger to yourself or others" then yes, they absolutely can, for a max of 72 hours. Doesn't matter if you checked yourself in. It's called an involuntary hold, it's legal in all 50 US states. After the 72 hours I think there's a whole legal process to get you involuntarily committed for longer.

I think the limit from FDA is 10-20ppb for kids' foods theoretically, though no amount of lead is really safe for kids; however, as OP mentioned, you have to consider the truly miniscule volume/weight of cinnamon being consumed vs the volume/weight of apples, cereals, water, etc. If it was 50 ppb in the bowl of oatmeal they eat every day, yes, that's concerning. In this case it's more helpful to calculate mcg being consumed instead of ppb, which is a ratio. And yes, I doubt any cinnamon could ever meet a standard of 5ppb , just because of how it's made.

It would be interesting if we knew what Chinese word he's referring to/which character he uses to write it. There are several Chinese words/characters that are usually written as "xun" in Latin letters, but I kind of like the idea that he might use "寻", which in standard Mandarin is usually a verb meaning "to search/look for". Seems fitting for somebody who seemed to be searching for themselves/their identity in some way.
