Do I have to go through The College Netowrk?

[Jdreamer05]

So I am a little confused about the college network. For the lpn-bsn program can I just do the classes at a community college and then apply to Indiana State, or do I have to go through the college network? Thanks for any input!

If you're talking about the study at home home thing where you buy the books, don't bother unless you're highly motivated and can do the independent study on your own. I tried that, found out that, in addition to the cost of the workbooks (4,000.00), there is also the cost of testing and another hefty fee to do the clinicals. I didn't want to go all the way to Louisville to take a test (at 120.00 minimum) I ate the cost of the workbooks, and enrolled in IUPUC LPN to ASN program.

Weigh your options and decide what is best for you. I do much better in the classroom setting-no disruptions and I have time to myself away from home without other stuff hanging over me, waiting to be done.

Best of luck to you!

To answer the original poster's question, you DO NOT need to go through the College Network in order to complete the distance program that is being offered by Indiana State University. They'll happily accept credits that you have previously earned at the community college setting. Good luck to you! :)
