Online nursing programs


Has anyone had any experience with The College Network? It sounds legitimate but I m not sure Alabama will accept the program and allow me to sit for NCLEX-RN. The clinicals are done locally with a preceptor. I don't want to waste time and money, but it sounds ok.

The College Network is a publishing company ... you don't get a degree from them. Which college is this program through?

Welcome to allnurses! There are a number of older threads here about TCN that you can find by using the "search" function in the upper R hand corner of the screen. It would be well worth a little of your time to review them before you make a decision.

As Lunah noted, TCN is not any kind of degree-granting institution; it is a publishing company that sells you materials to help you with on-line programs offered by colleges in which you could enroll directly without TCN's help. TCN is, essentially, a "middle-man." Some people find the services they offer helpful and worth the money, some don't. It's a v. personal decision.

I strongly encourage you to get as much info as you can before you sign up with TCN, because you will probably not be able to get out of your contract with them later if you decide you don't need them or are unhappy with what you're getting.
