LVN to BSN Indiana State University

notmanydaysoff · Sep 10, 2011

Several of my former classmates are going the BSN thru ISU / College Network route

I do know that it is expensive, and a couple actually admitted to feeling like they were "signing my life away" when filling out the paperwork. But other than that, I can't offer anymore info...sorry!

My questions to them was what part did College Network play? And could they have gone thru ISU directly? Of the three that are doing this program, none of them had actually investigated this.

To me, I'm not sure what College Network does besides gobble up more money. Oh well, live and learn.

I have been an LVN for a little more than a year now. I am really interested into advancing my carreer. I have heard of the LVN to BSN program that Indiana State University offers. Does anyone out there have gone through it? I am really hoping to get some feedback. I am trying to make an educated choice. Thank you nurses :)

Depending on where you live, you might want to check out Chamberlain College of Nursing. I hear they have an excellent 3 yr (maybe 2yr if you have prerequisites like English Comp 1 and Advanced Comp, Psychology 1 and Developmental Psych, Sociology, College Math, Speech, Anatomy and Physiology parts 1 and 2, Chemistry, and Microbiology) BSN program. They start new classes about 3 or 4 times a year. It's expensive but well worth it. :up:

1. go to your local board of nursing website and see what universities/schools are recommended. some schools who are offering classes are not certified and students graduating can not work in the state.

2. decide whether you want to go public or private, regular school or distant learning

3. go to the university's nursing website and read as much as you can about the requirements and the classes

4. do a an search about what other students are saying about the school and their program

i am in the isu distant learning lpn/lvn to bsn program. i did not use isu. the cost of the program is within reason although excelsior's program is less expensive. the cost of the isu program compared with a campus program in my state is still less expensive.

there is a student distant learning an website that has much more student posts listed.
