I am a mother of a 5 year old with a major busy schedule. Hmm lets see I work 3 days a week (12hour shifts) and the rest of my time is spent with my daughter, (helping with homework, watching tv, going outside, CLEANING house) I have looked into RUE, Chancellor, College Network and there is another one in GA called distance learning. Chancellor sounds the best but tuition is EXPENSIVE it is about the same as traditional college. So I don't know I am looking to get started within the next two months or so.. HELP PLEASE. If any one has any info on these colleges!!!:icon_roll

Hi,

I don't think that Rue or College Network are actual schools so be careful before you spend money. I'd also check with your BON because Excelesior isn't accepted in my state any longer. Good luck.

Thread moved to Distance Learning Forum to encourage more responses (especially from you helpful Excelsior students) :).

RUE, The College Network, and Chancellor's are not colleges; they do not grant degrees at all. If you sign up for an LPN-RN through any of those, you will ultimately end up enrolling/testing with Excelsior College (EC) -- website is http://www.excelsior.edu. You do not need the publishing companies to do the Excelsior program; typically, they sign you to very expensive contracts for study guides, and they are not affiliated with EC. The study guides are pretty good, but you can buy them for less from other students or on eBay. I suggest going to the EC website and looking around a little for more information. Good luck!
