ISU FAQ thread

Published

I thought it might be nice to have the ISU threads divided between an FAQ thread and one for current ISU students. Tweety's idea was to make the ISU Pt. Deux thread the current students one and make a new FAQ one. So if you have questions that are not answered on the first ISU thread then this is the place to ask them. :typing

Anyone here know of a college I can still take the A&P online? I missed the deadline for my local college. Any help about schools, tuition, and labs would be great. I do believe ISU only accepts this course with a lab. If this is wrong please let me know.

Thanks, this group is so great!

You can take the Excelsior test for it. That's what I did. I have the study guide still if you are interested. It has lots of highlighting and I did the practice tests though.

chaxanmom,

is it true that you can only take one clinical class per sem? if so, how long did it take for you to finish? i just got accepted to the fall 2010 program. i've been reading a lot of threads with all your helpful info. i'm just so anxious to finish but i got discouraged that we can only take one clinical per sem. also, does isu offer winter and summer nursing classes? thanks :)

Students in California are limited to 1 clinical course per semester BY California...see near the end of http://www.indstate.edu/nursing/students/handbook/undergraduate-distance-info.htm

ISU offers classes all year round though summer options are sometimes limited due to budget (it is different than during the academic year, and what faculty are willing to teach.....see past schedules at http://prodinteract.indstate.edu/pls/prod/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched

That wasn't the case when I was in the program but things change all the time. I took two pretty heavy clinical courses together (community health and high acuity...I don't recommend those two together. lol). I also took assessment and psych together which are both clinical but half the hours of the other two.
