It's great to see a distance /independent learning topic. Currently, I am considering Deaconess School of Nursing. Is there anyone else considering this school? I find I definately work better independently and I'm hoping to make a decision soon on whether to go for Deaconess or not. The problem is the cost, it is so darn expensive. I am trying to get into my local college adn program but there are a ton of applicants so I don't know if that's going to happen. I am not going to wait another year to start nursing school if I don't have to.
Hope to hear from other independent learners soon.
rue is a publisher of study materials. they gather information from ec (that is free btw) and turn it into one helluva money machine. they sell study guides. thats it. oh and their favorite past-time seems to be spying. maybe i am starting to sound a bit parandoid/delusional, but after signing with a publisher i can promise you they are the college level equivalent of the mafia.
their study guides aren't always up to speed either. for the most part i concede that they do cover the needed material, but a lot of times they leave major topics a bit shadey.
did i mention the typing errors????!!!????
my favorite one in the course i am studying for now:
"in his type of conditioning. the subject is likely or less likely to become exhibit certain behaviors because of past reinforment, negative reinforcement, or punishment, or like behavior"
huh??
i may not be a rocket scientist but i promise you i have not got a clue what that means. that is a direct quote and i have checked it for errors on my part.........that is exactly how it is written in my study guide. once again i had to look that topic up in a textbook i purchased from a local college to have any idea what the theme of the subject was. that book is in addition to the nearly $300 i forked out for that study guide.
my advice: just say no to publishers.
oh and if any of you can translate that statement from my guide please let me know!!!

Hello out there fellow students! I am currently enrolled in a cc finishing my pre- nursing courses. I am bogged down by the wait of getting classes over with and want to hurry up and finish. I would like to know more about the Deacones school, is it an ADN school, is it totally online, and what is the cost. Any other "things of information" would be appreciated !
It's a 100 yr old nursing school in St Louis that has recently begun online programs. You can get your LPN, ADN or BSN all online with 4 or 5 visits to the campus during the program for check-offs. The phone number for the school is 1-800-942-4310
