You can take more than 2 classes; however, half of the classes have a clinical component, which in certain states you can only take one clinical course per semester. You would have to check with your state requirements in regards to how many clinica...

Hey Kristy, I did 3 semesters a year (Spring, Summer, Fall) with approximately 2 classes per semester. I was able to finish a little under 3 years (all nursing core classes) once admitted into the program; however, this did not take into account the...

Yes, ISU did offer summer courses; however, my state regulations would only let students take one clinic course per semester. Check your state regulations to verify how many clinical courses you can take per semester. My first semester I only took ...

Hi MbellLPN, I was able to finish the program in less than 3 years. I took all the pre-req courses including pathophysiology at a local junior college prior to applying. I also had a previous bachelors degree, so I mainly took the nursing core cou...

Hi JesscatRN, Yes, the majority was reading chapters and lecture notes from the professor in a format to take the test. There are discussion board questions (each week) and papers to write. The majority of coursework was writing papers in APA forma...

No scam as I am a graduate of the ISU LPN-BSN program. I am currently working as an RN. The program was ideal for me as I worked full time as an LPN and was still able to accomplish my BSN. Best of luck!

great story, congrats!

That is correct. As of now, ISU is no longer available to licensed vocational nurses in California. Hopefully, more LVN-BSN programs become available in the future. Best of Luck!

I completed the ISU program last year, so I can tell you what I did in regards to the CMs and the TEAS. To study for CMs, I purchased the study binders from either e-bay or amazon. Try doing a search on those websites. I was able to purchase the f...

Hello Ashmckay, I actually did the LPN and then the RN-BSN route. Personally, after completing the LPN program, I had wished that I just did the RN route. I guess it really depends on the individual. In my case, I had done a private LPN school, so...

"You would think they would be more discreet when they were installing the voice recording devices around here."

"It's a bird, it's a plane, no.....it's an eyewash station?"

"Sally, I know we are in the midst of budget cuts, but I do not think this is going to be a suitable size for our operating room spotlight."

"I think it might be time for Bob the maintenance guy to retire, this is not where I told him to install the eye wash station."

I see that you are looking at ISU. Here is the route I took for ISU and my journey to my BSN. Hopefully this can be helpful for your journey. I took all of my pre-reqs (A & P, micro, chemistry, patho, etc.) at a local junior college then appl...

No problem, it took me about 3 months to complete the CSMs because you take them at your own pace. I had other classmates that completed them in two months. I wanted to take my time to ensure that I passed on the first attempt, which I did. The pr...

"I think he met his breaking point."

"We might have to switch to decaf."

"Janet, I'll rock, paper, scissors you for it. Loser has to tell Billy, the new nurse, that his shift isn't over yet."

"Janet, looks like we lost another nurse. We might have to make some changes to our orientation schedule."

When I was accepted to the ISU LPN-BSN program, I had applied to ISU admissions first as a degree seeking student. Once accepted to the university, I had then completed the four CSMs prior to being accepted into the actually nursing program. It appe...

As a recent graduate from the ISU program, I can tell you that trying to finish the program in one year is impossible; however, two years would be challenging, and three years would be the norm. I finished in a little less than three years. It als...

In general, my ISU experience was a very positive one. I finished the program in a little under 3 years, earned my BSN, sat for the boards, endorsed my license to my state, and found an RN job within a little less than 3 months post NCLEX. Eight of...

Hi pnstdnt10, I did not do the college network. I bought the binders on e-bay for approximately $25-$35, which were the same binders that College Network were selling. My experience with ISU LPN-BSN was a very positive one. I finished my BSN in a ...
