But the college network called me and I decided I would answer the phone. I did and listened and answered some questions, but then I found myself making an appointment for next week Friday at 9am to have an advisor come over to go over the program with me. The one question that I wished I would have asked, but didn't, was if she comes over to talk about the program with me am I obligated to sign a contract. I would hope not, but you never know. I at least made it when my fiance wouldn't be around because he's so against me going back right now, but hoping with some finacial help and my parents helping as well I could start now.
I just needed to vent, and hoping I didn't make a mistake. I know I can cancel this appointment, but now I find myself wondering about it and almost excited to find out.
I have purchased TCN guides and when I signed the contract I had no idea that I could purchase the guides on-line and was not that informed on Excelsior's program-so do your research and like everyone else is saying do not sign until you discuss it with your partner first. I use my guides and also if you purchase older guides you call the 1-800# on the inside cover and TCN sends you updated material free. I only had 1 prereq and NSG concepts1,3-7 and paid $4400-- oh and plus they sent me 3 binders to study for the NCLEX. Also if you do not pass an exam after 2 attempts they provide a tutor.
So anyway there are pros and cons to TCN and there is more cost effective ways of doing things but just go with your gut instinct and ask question when you meet with the rep.
