LPN to ASN Programs- Description and Differences

I am a LPN trying to decide on a online ASN program. All my general nursing courses are finished. I need clinical courses only. Would someone please explain the functions and differences between Chancellors Learning Systems, The College Network and Excelsiors College. If you have information about which is the best way to go financially and educationally that would be helpful too. I have already had Fundamentals in Nursing 1,2,3 and clinicals as well as my clinicals in Psychology. I was in a pilot program for our state which has been discontinued.

Thankyou

    It was convenient for me. A friend had used Chancellor and her books were about 3/4" thick, plus they are just a bunch of papers stapled together. I looked online at Excelsior's guidelines, okay at this point you register for your class, then buy your books and there were alot of extra books that you needed. it fell under suggested books also. So I contacted TCN they met with me and showed me the modules. So yes I bought them. I did not have the luxury of being able to go to school everyday, I have to work, I am the breadwinner in our family. And my payments weren't but 125.00 a month. I studied at my own pace, I didn't have to worry about any papers that might be due tomorrow, or pop test. I read the material took the practice test (including the ones Excelsior offers) and took my Main Test. Then started on my next one. I tried to take a test every two weeks and did at first then when I got into the nursing part I took one a month. So if you go to a traditional classroom, you can either fail out, or drop out or pass, with TCN/Excelsior I took test passed test, and didn't have to worry about failing out or dropping out. If I didnt feel like studying that day I didn't how many times can you not show up for class? It just worked for me.

    Can you go at your own pace with Excelsior or is the time frame set?

    You can go as fast or as slow as you care to, just as long as you complete the program within the seven year enrollment time limit.
