Anyone heard about or is going through this new program from Indiana State University from The College Network. And if so, what do they mean when they say "completing your clinicals with a local preceptor"?

I have not heard anything about it, but here is the website for their distance education. I am not to sure that it was helpful, but I filled out the info. request form and if we haven't heard from anyone else by the time it gets here, I will let you know what it says! I am interested in it also!

I know someone who is going this route. She gave me brief information about this new program for LPN-BSN. I see Chevelle has posted the number and website.

I wonder if it's a money-grabber type of thing. I don't want to dive into it until I figure out why they offer LPN to BSN but no other online colleges do. Is it legit?

Lynn, from what I understand, this is a new program. It allows LPNs to obtain their degree "online". You will do your clinical in the city/state in which you live and it can take up to 3 1/2 year [ at your pace]. As I stated, I don't have first hand information but the person who told me this is going this route.

Maybe you should call and verify your concerns. All the best as you embark upon your RN degree.

Thank you, I would like to hear from more people going this route. Being that it's new, I may just have to jump in and see for myself.
