Nursing Students Online Learning

Hello, I new here to the website. I'm an LPN But looking for a nursing school to get RN BSN. has anyone heard of The college network. please send your feed back.

Why don't you ask the school where you received your LPN at, that would be a good start, or find out what colleges are out there in your area with a nursing program. If you are serious about going on to your RN you really need to do the homework yourself. Rhonda

It's my understanding that The College Network is not actually a nursing program, but a company that sells nursing study guides/texts, something along those lines. You will get a whole lot of information about available programs if you explore the students section here on the AN boards. Good luck!

Sounds like you need to contact universities in your area: you're not going to get a BSN from every nursing program.

Easy enough to pick up the phone and ask for materials to be sent to you from the schools you might want, or set up an interview with nursing school administrator to get more facts and details.

You need to start the process on your own....good luck!

Please do not try with college network, waste of time and money. The study books is a joke, tried taking the test. kept failing and not to mention you need to pay for every test you take, with only two trys. I am enrolled at West Coast University in ca. lvn to rn program. Very expensive, however I look at it as investment, just like my LPN. I paid it of in 1 1/2yr. Thats if you work hard and pay your loan off. There's a new program at West coast University straight to RN, BSN PROGRAM WITHOUT having to be a LPN, Very expensive as well.But it boils down to what you really want. Look at it as investment in your career. I have, no regreats. All I need to do is pass the program, with Gods blessing. Here I come. Any ones wants more info contact me please liz T.

You will be able to use the PM and Email function on this board when you have 15 posts on the board.Please do not post your Email address on the public board as this is against the TOS of the site,which you agreed to when you signed up.

The College Network is not an LPN-to-RN program. The College Network is nothing more than a publishing company engaged in the business of selling study materials that eventually lead to a nursing degree from either Excelsior College or ISU. Therefore, Excelsior College or ISU are one of the 2 schools you're really dealing with.

Most people are able to earn their LPN-to-RN bridge program nursing degree from Excelsior College or ISU without ever going through expensive publishing companies such as the College Network and RUE. In addition, people have attempted to get out of the College Network's contract, and all were unsuccessful.

Buyer beware. . .
