EC BSN Program

I know there are plenty of threads on here about this, but they're a little old. I am looking for any recent EC grads looking to start the program maybe in Spring... I gotta wait until after I get my tax return, LOL. Loops are you gonna be my BSN buddy???

I have read some good and some not so good things about the program, so I had a couple questions and was hoping someone here could help:

1. Federal Financial Aid--is it different than ADN program, since these are courses? Can you use a Pell Grant?

2. I've read there are alot of video components complete with critical elements...please tell me this isn't CPNE deja vu?

3. How are the courses set up, are they blackboard and discussion or lots of essays to send in?

4. Do you still get a couple extra credits of elective for being an EC alum?

5. Do they take everything from their own ADN program--ie Life Span Psych, Sociology, etc.??

6. Can I take a few of the exams without being enrolled to see if I like it (ie Stats and Management in Nursing?)

That's a good start for now. I've called and they mailed me a bunch of crap but it's not too helpful. Any advice or info would be appreciated!!!!! :-)
