I would not recommend using TCN. You should be able to find the study guides from other people but entirely up to you. I used TCN and not completely thrilled with them. The sales reps are very misleading regarding information. If you want real information about ISU, contact ISU or look at the posts from many of us. I have enjoyed ISU's program, just wish I hadn't spent all the money on TCN. As far as work, as long as you pass the NCLEX not sure that many employers ask about how you got your degree, just that you have it.

Thanks I think I'll just contact ISU directly then and skip the middle man!

Re: ISU FAQ thread

Hi there!

I have been an LPN for the past 7 yrs and want to persue my RN via distance learning.I am very interested in ISU LPN to RN route.Can anyone tell me what 10 classes/pre-requisites need to be done before applying and which ones I can CLEP?? I guess Im looking for a "simple" breakdown from anyone that is on their way in the program or has gone through it.The website that ISU has up is confusing ,I cant figure it out.I have emailed ISU and am waiting for a reply.I got an email saying it may take 1-2 weeks for a reply as they are backed up,so I came here hoping someone could help me.Havent gotten anywhere by calling either,they keep directing me to a Kim and I have to leave a message.Until then I am here studying my CLEP Human Growth and Development guide .Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.I am grateful
