which online lpn-rn program.......

I was a medic, not an LPN, but I graduated from Excelsior College and then continued with their RN-to-BSN program, so there's my endorsement.

what is the best online lpn to rn program?:angryfire:icon_roll

I am enrolled with Excelsior College now. did you have any problems with the studing and taking the tests? WOuld like to know form someone who finished the school.

do you know if these courses are recognized in all states like Texas inparticular?:)

Hi, I am 42 and just graduated the LPn program here in Ma. I want to jump into the LPN to Rn through Collegenetwork.com. I'm not sure that it is for real. It seems to good to be true. I would have to hold an 80 average though. That is kinda high. Has anyone here done the LPN to RN? I have not even taken the boards yet. Thanks Cissy

college network is only a publishing company. they do not award the degree. as far as i know Excelsior (which i'm doing) and Indiana State U. are the two distance learning programs for RN...Excelsior is an associates and i believe ISU is a bach.

there are quite a few who have recently passed the Excelsior program and clinical weekend and are graduate nurses, waiting to take their NCLEX-RN who did the LPN to RN program (EXcesior offers it for Medics, LPNS, respiratory - to RN program) on this board. browse through the posts and you will see LOTS of info!

There is a thread re: the Indiana State University RN-BSN program

https://allnurses.com/forums/f125/indiana-state-university-bsn-students-248029.html It is very imformative re: the process. A lot of them are not going through The College Network for their books in Phase I and II but purchasing them on ebay etc...to save the money. Phase's III and IV are through ISU. The College Network is only a publishing company of the books, but you do have to pass the studies of the books they publish to go into the program. Anyhow, check out this thread for a wealth of info! Good luck! I would head that direction myself, howevery Texas does not recognize ISU program yet. There is a list in this thread of states that do.

Texas does not recognize the ISU online RN-BSN yet. They do recognize Excelsior. I know this was posted awhile ago. Not sure if you had this info yet or not.

this is not true. i have mentioned this over and over. it is a wide misconception . texas stand on outside nursing programs is if it is approved in the home state then it will be accepted by texas. here is the link and i have called and verified this information.
