indiana or excelsior?

[saltwaterstat]

can someone please explain the difference to me between doing distance / online learning thru indiana (local pre-ceptors, and "no -fail" clinicals"-???), or is it better to go w/ excelsior...(and why are they grouped in w/ some of the exam testing?--if I read it right..?)

just trying to find the BEST program for me to go with. thanx for any help.

Hi AnnieNC,

ISU does offer an LPN to BSN completion program. I don't know if you've been to the website and seen this info just yet, but here is the link to an overview of the LPN/LVN to BSN: http://www.college-net.com/downloads/ISU_LPN_700s.pdf . Also the general webpage for the program is http://www.college-net.com/isu.asp?degree=LPB . Good luck, hope this helps.

Actually, these are links to the TCN website. They are a publishing company- not the school.

Indiana only does an RN-BSN. It's quite expensive. However, even CA will license an ISU grad. NOT all states will accept EC.

thanx suesq. very interesting....I wonder WHY?? live in NC, family (son, & cousins in ca)..who knows where I might wanna end up. online is one thing..maybe I might be better off going to an actual geographical college.
