   Okay, I just had the STRANGEST phone interview with one of the well known plasma donor centers regional recruiters. SHE scheduled the phone interview after I sent her a questionnaire with my salary requirements...etc. So, she calls LATE, and then pro...

   Just finished 3rd class. Its not hard, just time consuming. everything is turning in research papers. There are no group projects, and each 3 credit class ends up being a little over a 1000.00. It is the cheapeset, accredited school I have found. AND...

   FYI: There are some suspicious blog replies on the internet about them...some folks say they are ok, others say to avoid TESC all together. I also saw some really negative postings about WGU. Primarily centering around not being able to schedule clin...

   Yeah I saw them, but I am leary as they have an unusual learning format...do you understand it??? Also, it looks like the slower you learn, the more you pay...could mean alot of money for me. haha!!! I do not like a nebulous fee system, it generall...

   I know right??!! They make sure you are going to have to take additional "B.S." classes through them, no matter what you have under your belt already. So far, every other school seems to either have too many upper level nursing courses, OR too many ...

   wow, we are on pretty much the same page.... FYI: I am waiting on University of Texas at El paso to respond...and Univ. of North Alabama...BUT I think they are both going to require a plethora of math or history. One thing about UO of El Paso is they...

   I wish they would accept a 75.00 application fee alone, and just give me a prelim. review of my transcripts so I would know if they will accept everything or not....300.00 to find out that I lack many courses...would be money wasted. So, I never aske...

   Great info, Thanks! I see you are right. I have also applied at 3 other schools, to see what the prereq situation is. Where I came up with the tuition charged for transferring credits, is from their site, using their tuition calculator...and it seem...

    I replied to another thread about TESC.....basically I was looking to apply to this one, but am put off by the exhorbitant application fee 75 dollar plus 300. "credential review fee", AND they charge you for transferring in credit to their institutio...

    I have their application packet...it is confusing, but looks like they require a 75.00 application fee PLUS a 300.00 fee (NON-REFUNDABLE) in order to do a full "credential review" They also appear to charge you tuition for the credits you already rec...

    flowjoe64 replied to NurseSarah86's topic in General Nursing

    I know you are getting alot of advice, but take it from a former LVN...be careful the jobs you accept. Just because someone is willing to hire you to do something, doesnt mean you should accept the position. I did not know much of anything when i gra...

    Thanks for your response. WOW, how did you afford their program at 528 a credit hour...that is over 30 grand. The thing that is misleading...is that they say there are no pre-reqs. Well actually there are quite a few...they just dont call them prereq...

    wow. That is sad....but that is why I asked, I need to know what I am getting into. I asked the "advisor" about the litigation that I heard about, and he denies that there is anything other than the fact that they have the best school around. I can t...
