Our local college offers a summer statistics class and I would like to be able to take that in the classroom.My financial aid sits with IVY Tech and I have some leftover for the summer.
Thanks, Brenda (Fall 2009-Hopeful)

P.S. How are the CSM challenge tests scored and do they count as grades?
P.S.S. What study materials do you use for NURS 208? Books,etc??? or other study materials?

Yes you need at least 6 credits for financial aid.......As far as the challenge exams you need 79% "C" which is 51 out of 65 questions right to get a passing grade....then they take those credits and count it towards graduation you do not get a letter grade on your transcript to count for a GPA.
Now the NURS 208...I have no idea we will find that one out together...hopefully *crossing my fingers to get accepted*

Just an FYI...with the goal of trying to make the ISU threads a bit easier to navigate we split them into an FAQ thread and a thread for current ISU students to discuss the program itself (once you are actually taking ISU classes). This is the current students thread, the FAQ one is seperate. Thanks and please don't throw rotten tomatoes at me for pointing this out. lol!
Oh and don't forget there is the now closed but still open to read 900 page (give or take a few) original ISU thread. There is a ton of info there that will answer your Sonoma/CA questions.

Listen Re: Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students
Hi !
I am currently talking with the guy from TCN (college network), and have to say I am a little confused? He has said that the CBON will recognize ISU/SONOMA STATE, and that I will be able to sit for CALI BOARD WHEN DONE. hOWEVER, SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PUBLISHER OF THE MODULES, WHICH YOU CAN GET FROM ANY BOOK PUBLISHER THUS SAVING ALOT OF $$$$. Someone also said that they CANNOT ISSUE YOU A DEGREE EITHER.... My thinking is, why would my professor from my nursing school be emailing us about this program so long after we graduated w/c was in September and how do I ascertain what is actually fact from fiction? Any advice???? I have two prereq's left to apply and he said that i can just clep out of them and start right in to the program, so I am just so upset. On the one hand I am wanting to get started and be on my way to that BSN, and yet on the other hand am just not sure?
Oh, I just looked on m other pc, and caliotter sad not to worry about it and to NOT WAIT ON STARTING DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY MAY CHANGE EVERYTHING SOON ! Since she is said this I will say I feel a fire under my butt!!
Anyway, is tis what you were told by TCN as well? Let me know OK?

Forever plaid,
I am not using TCN for my tests. I got all of my Customized study modules for each of the CLEPS, etc. tests from EBay. Read all about those things on the "other closed ISU sticky". You will find all of the other info you need..
Good Luck!

Nurse Re: Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students
Okay, I found info about the ebay sites and even amazon sites, but the modules are formatted to say Nursing Concept 5 or 4 stuff like that. These books do not offer a title for the book such as nursing care of the childbearing family. So how can I know which book to purchase.
