Avoid them at all costs!

This is the most recent thread regarding TCN, and to summarize:

They are under investigation by The Federal Trade Commission.

They are the defendant in a class action lawsuit in Ohio.

Several Attorneys General are investigating them, including the Indiana AG.

There is no way you can use TCN materials to complete the Nursing Program at Excelsior...Excelsior is changing their program to REQUIRE you attend online sessions with Excelsior for 16 weeks for each course before you are permitted to take the nursing tests. That is effective July 1, 2015 (in roughly 10 months), so if you have general education requirements to complete, you aren't going to finish the Nursing Program in 10 months through TCN.

TCN is not approved by Excelsior. Many students have reported that their materials "CLM's" are sub-standard and are NOT what is required for the tests at Excelsior.

You are far better off going to Excelsior on your own, using their recommended materials and guides, and LOTS of totally FREE resources!

You truly do not need any test prep company.
