I have been looking into online programs because I like the fact that I can take as many classes as I feel comfortable with & still work. It is difficult though because there aren't many options in Texas & I have ruled out most of them.
- EC: I don't feel comfortable with the 3 day CPNE.
- ISU: I don't like that they refer you to TCN. I tried to inquire more about ISU now TCN won't stop calling me.
- WGU: I really like them but I have to live 50 miles from a clinical site, I don't. The only clinical sites are in Houston & Dallas.
That leaves Lamar State & Allegeny College.
- Lamar State: I could enroll today if they had start dates, but they don't. I know someone who is enrolled (almost done) & she likes it.
- Allegeny College: I have never heard of anyone using this college. It seems like they have a bunch of hoops to jump through just to start the process.
So since there aren't many options I am leaning toward Lamar State. I would like some current or graduates of Lamar State to give me some input on what the classes & clinicals were like.
