I looked at that program, where will you be doing your "clinicals"? I know the Excelsior grads are having a very difficult time getting the GA BON to approve them. Is the ISU LPN-BSN Program approved by the GA BON???

excelsior has its on individual issues with BON,due to its previous lack of clinical hours requirement. I do believe that excelsior now require more clnical hours to be perform to meet state BON guidelines, so they should be ok. I have a form classmate going thru excelsior and that is what I was informed by her, but I contacted the state BON of nursing in regards to ISU, ISU should be fine with BON, I was told pretty much if its nationally accredited by certain accreditation agency the school is accepted, I dont the agencies by heart but I checked it out at the time of my research, ISU is fine.

There is a site on ISU website that u can search for organizations with contracts with ISU already, the site and there are several here in GA, Most being in the Atlanta Metro area, I know Advantage behavioral health here in Athens was on the site's list and I assume that would be a mental health clinical due to it being a mental health agency. The site also allows you to put in requests to get an established contract with a particular site but they warn that the process can take 3-4 months so you most definitely have to be proactive. The school does most of the leg work once you put in the request.
