ISU Clinicals - How'd they work out for you?

[bsn2b2013]

Ok, so I am scheduled to take my first test for EC on Aug 7 and am giving myself until the end of this week to make my final decision between ISU and EC because I know I need to bust out the CSMs really quickly plus the TEAS if I decide to go through ISU. I have already been accepted to ISU and have all of my pre-reqs done so the CSMs are all I need to do.

The thing that holds me back from ISU is the clinicals. It isn't doing them, it is setting them up. I would absolutely love some feedback from current students in regards to their clinicals (particularly if you go into Savannah - I live in SC but need to do my clinicals in GA since ISU isn't accepted in SC yet). Specifically I would like to know: Was it hard setting them up? Does ISU help you get at least the contact people for the clinical sites/hospitals? How many clinicals did you do per semester, how many hours per week/etc. Did you find the experience valuable? Any other info would be greatly appreciated since like I previously mentioned, I am giving myself until the end of this week to make my final decision.

Edited to add: Also, I would love to know how long the entire program has take you to finish (or complete so far!)

Thank you in advance!

I attempted to get this information about my area and could find out nothing and ISU would not talk to me or answer any of my questions, so I decided that ISU is not the school for me. I have read where people have enrolled, paid money to ISU and/or TCN, then come to a grinding halt and left the program when they could not set up clinicals and ISU refused to assist them. That is all the endorsement I needed to make my decision.
