On-campus Nursing Information Session Dates

Completing an on-line Nursing Information Session is required before each application period during which you plan to apply to the nursing program.  Though attending an on-campus nursing information session is not required, you are welcome to attend to have your questions answered.  Pre-registration for these sessions is not required, but it is imperative that you arrive before the start time of the session.  The sessions will last approximately 2 hours.  Please read the Nursing Overview and Application booklet and complete the on-line Nursing Information Session BEFORE you attend an on-campus session. 

TEAS Information

As described in the on-line Nursing Information Session, the TEAS V is a requirement for application to the nursing programs.  Students wishing to take the exam should first pay for the test at the Business Office (812-429-1440).  The business office will issue a receipt which you must keep.  After paying for the exam, contact the Workforce Certification Center (WCC) at 812-429-9852 to schedule a time to sit for the test.  On your test date, present your business office receipt and a photo ID to the WCC.  The WCC is located in the office complex just south of the Ivy Tech building, next to the bookstore.

Preparatory materials for the exam are available for purchase at www.atitesting.com or through the Ivy Tech Bookstore.  Some materials are also loaned through Ivy Tech’s Library.  Remember, students can only sit for the exam twice in a two year period so it is important to go into the exam as prepared as possible.
