I used to be a member of this site years ago when I attended LPN school & prior. Well, after much pressure, I decided to go for my RN. I WILL NOT go back to traditional school, only b/c I do not want to put up with the BS that went with it. So, yesterday, I signed up with TCN & after reading your threads, I feel I made a grave error. My contract states I have 3 business days to cancel. The reason I went with them is b/c I was told that it would take 4 months to get my EC stuff & even be considered a student. The price doesn't bother me of TCN, if I read & study their material, I will pass. Again, I am starting to panic. I like have text books, but I want to start college ASAP, I am tired of waiting. Any suggestions? Should I stay with TCN or go w/EC?
Glad you were able to cancel your contract in time. Most people who become dissatisfied with the publishing companies figure this out when its too late. Sounds like the rep you're dealing with is a nice guy. Good luck with EC. Hope to hear that you make steady progress.
I'm relieved to know you didn't get hassled over cancelling. Those publishing companies can be so misleading.
I have finished all my exams and now waiting for my CPNE. As soon as you get signed up with Excelsior check out the EPN. It is a wonderful resource and support group. You can also check out the Yahoo groups. We're all here to point you in the right direction and help you save some money.
I purchased used College Network, Chancellor's and nursing textbooks off ebay. I also used any free notes I could get my hands on.
Feel free to PM me anytime.

THANKS EVERYONE!. Hey, gotta tell ya that the guy I dealt with to cancel was . He was really nice & wished me luck. So, I contacted EC & they said they already have my application & was processed last year, so go ahead & get started on my general courses. Yipee! Now I have to give the book back to the rep. inorder to get my $500.00 back. Not looking forward to that. Anyway, things have changed alot in 3 yrs. since I've on this site. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
