LPN to BSN-Indiana State/College Network

Also how long does it take to complete? I noticed somewhere it said 2 years

I'm wondering this also because I have all my pre-reqs done and will be an LPN January 2007.

If you would send me your email, I will forward you the email that ISU sent me. It has attachments that describe the program in more detail and answereed a lot of questions for me.

The actual nursing classes through ISU only start in the spring and fall like traditional college classes but you can use the summer (like I'm doing) to get prereq's done. The email attachment tells you all this but there are ten prereq's that you must have complete before you will be accepted into the program. These include things like Intro to public speaking, Informations systems, Anatomy/Physiology, Micro, Chem, Psych, Socioloty, Lifespan Dev., English Comp, Algebra. Like me, you probably have a few of these done from you LPN tract and a few of the others should be easy to take Clep tests for.

The program was explained to me as a program that is set up for you to succeed.....not a jam packed "how fast can you get it done" program. But.....if you are in a hurry (like me) you can get the prereq's done as fast as you can, either through your local community college, Clep test or a test center like Collge network uses. Then you can request an accelerated tract when entering the program. From what I understand they look at the accelerated tract request on an individual basis, at your GPA and such, to see if they feel you can handle it.

The next entry date into the ISU LPN to BSN program is in August and I beleive you must have your application in by July 1. The email has a lot of this information too.

I didn't get an exact figure but I believe, if everything works out like I have it planned, I should be able to complete the program in 18 months from the time I start the nursing classes.....not as fast as I would like but I feel like this program is going to give me an education and I really like the hands on clinicals. I don't like the idea of someone standing over my shoulder waiting for me to make a mistake and flunk me for a weekend. I like more of the hands on, watch me do this procedure and if I do something wrong correct me and teach me how to do it properly next time way.

If I can answer anything else just ask:)
