Distance learning LVN to RN

[txspadequeenRN]

I have several questions about these distance learning programs. I want to know if anyone has had any negative experiences with getting your RN degree this way. How the clinical is , what I might expect to encounter with the clinical and if you had any problems with sitting for the NCLEX. I worry about spending all this money and time then in the end coming out with nothing. Any info , pointers ,opinions are greatly appreciated...:rotfl:

Here is the link in case you couldn't find it. They have changed their homepage format since I last looked at it- the link isn't so obvious any more.

Thank you again... I did find it when I looked specifically for it. Payments aren't bad. I think I have a doable option! Do you know how the clinical is handled? Can I start paying for it immediately after the registration fees are paid? Not really a needy question just now. It's doable and that's the important part.

Hi- you can do a payment plan for the CPNE as well. But you don't start on that until you're eligible for it- after you finish all the Nursing Concepts courses, and are within 9 credit hrs of finishing your general eds. When you become eligible for the CPNE, you'll get a packet in the mail with a payment plan application. It has to paid in full 2 weeks before your CPNE date though, so get it started as soon as you get the application for it. My CPNE schduled date was about 3 months from the time I became eligible to take it- and that's a fairly short wait if you're not on a cancellation list for back up.
