Just have to decide, as I said...both of these schools have been great to deal with.

I have info on both schools, and have decided to take gen ed for now at a local junior college. Being a diploma grad is not a good thing when trying to get your bsn. Know what I mean?   | | Advertisement Sponsored Links | | | | No. 151 |

Well at least a local community college will certainly be less costly for the gen education classes. I read on the Thomas Edison College forums that there are diploma nurses who get a good bit of credit. Same as the Saint Joseph's College of Maine. Have you looked at those two?

Yes,TE is not far from me, but I'm up in the air as far as where I'll be next year...so I figured a Philosophy and History wouldn't hurt for now.Actually the history will be online, so I'll be giving that a try to see if it is for me. And you are right, can't beat the cost of a junior college. I'm also going to look into CLEPing A&P....what else would you recommend? I think TE requires a math....but no stats....is that correct? (I'm fighting my daughter for the internet)

Well, when I called them, they were very vague...they wanted that $300 application fee first, then I emailed the nursing dept to find out if they would accept my math from my ASN, and they asked for a course description from my college. I got it, emailed it to her & she said yes, that I wouldn't have to take any more math. So you might what to talk to them. I went on some forums in the TE website & read some diploma nurses & ADN clepping out of a lot of courses...some of them have been nursing for years, so that might have been helpful to them.

Re: RN to BSN online
Hmm... I'm debating on whether or not I want to obtain my BSN right after I get my ADN in june 2007. I"m still young, only 20 years old, so I've got a lot of time to decide what I want to do or even if I want to get my BSN. Do you think I should get my BSN right after I get my ADN? Or should I work a few years, and get some experience before trying to get my BSN. It would be kind of hard starting out in nursing, and then going to school for my BSN right away using an online program. Or am I wrong? This is really confusing to me, lol.

I don't advise waiting too long.
The problem I've noticed for some people who go straight into a RN to BSN program is not the lack of experience, but for many they are studying for the NCLEX and school/work takes away from that. You don't need experience to take RN to BSN classes.
Perhaps you might consider waiting until you get NCLEX out of the way. But don't be like me and wait 13 years.
Good luck to you!

I graduated from Wyoming a while back. It is a very good program and I would recommend it. If you have specific questions you can post them here or PM me.  |
