ISU BSN question

mariyahsmommy · Apr 11, 2008

I don't know if you have been reading any of these threads, but I have been having the same kinds of questions. I actually just got off the phone with ISU and spoke with a representative. She was extremely informative. The bottom line as to how long it will take you depends mainly on what kind of student youare, and how many classes you still have to take. Give her a call and let me know how it goes Good Luck! I am seriously considering signing up for this summer. :nurse:

I am doing it part time and giving my self 5 yrs... I know that is a long time, but i have to work full time and have all pre rec's to get done. Ther ear 10 courses( test outs or completed at cc) that need to be complete before you can apply phase I, then 4 classes (csm) for phase II, Then phase III are the nursing classes with clinicals. There are 8 other courses that need to be after the initial 10. When I get home if you would like i will PM you with the list they gave me. I do not know if they are just for CA tho.

A couple of the CSMs can be worked on while you are in phase 3. N106 is a pre-req for Nursing in Mental Illness and N224 (as well as pathophysiology) is a pre-req for Nursing Care of Adults II but the other two can be taken whenever. Statistics and Pathophysiology are pre-reqs for several of the nursing courses so keep that in mind too.
