  2. What does your nursing school consider their passing gpa?

    chaxanmom replied to geniebea's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm in Maryland but doing a distance program through Indiana State so I'm not sure if this is helpful but at ISU you need a 79% to pass. In some classes you need a 94% for an A (although most are 92%)...

    Depends on the test. I think the maternity and peds ones were about $245? I thought they were all easy except the peds one. That one kicked my butt with all the developmental stuff. Ugh. Passed it...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Honestly, the connection with TCN is a bit of a turn-off for me too and I'm an ISU student. I actually like the way they do clinicals though. I like having the freedom of choosing where I go. I'm...

    OIC thanks. Figured you had just started your new year celebration a little early or something.

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    TCN does have a contracted partnership with ISU to provide study guides for the challenge exams. They have permission to use the logo. ISU can confirm this if it's really bugging you. :) You don't...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah I noticed that last semester and downloaded Office and that appeased me for one semester. lol! But now I'm annoyed with them again with this new nursing lab fee business. Maybe I'm just cranky...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I do have a burr in my bonnet with ISU and fees right now though. I got charged a $60 nursing lab fee for the first time. Uh, hullo I'm in MARYLAND and won't ever see a nursing lab. No one seems to...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Nope. I already got my statement for this coming semester and that's not the case. Hopefully that won't be the case for Fall 09 either. After that I'm done but hope it doesn't change for everyone...

  13. Returning to nursing school...clinicals?

    chaxanmom replied to prncessjenna03's topic in General Students

    I took 10 years off when I had my kids so I may or may not be helpful to you. lol! I found that labs were what I needed to review the most. That and drug levels. After that long I was shocked at how...

    California has some different requirements for the clinical portion. You have to go through another college to have those arranged. Not sure of the details

    chaxanmom replied to RN2B123's topic in General Nursing

    chaxanmom replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ohhh I see. Call the financial aid dept at ISU. They're usually very helpful.

  18. The College Network-collecting sales tax

    chaxanmom replied to CSLee3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This has probably been mentioned but I don't feel like rereading the thread and its worth repeating anyway. Make sure those of you being turned into collection send a certified letter to the...

    chaxanmom replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Same as on campus programs. I have a little Pell and then regular Stafford loans. You still do the FAFSA like you would on campus.

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, you don't need a preceptor for 224 if you are taking the challenge exam. She might have meant to say

  21. What will YOU do with your first "real" paycheck!?

    chaxanmom replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students

    Well, we've been living on a Navy enlisted salary only for 14 years so it doesn't take much for me to feel rich and glamorous.

  22. What will YOU do with your first "real" paycheck!?

    chaxanmom replied to DZcarrie's topic in General Students

    Dh will be getting out of the Navy the same month I graduate so in the current economic situation I'm thinking a nice big bottle of valium is in order! Haha! After that I'll probably buy stuff we've...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Nah, it's not ignorance. At least not in a bad way. :) They aren't like "You get X credits for this LPN class and Y for that one" but you just don't have to take fundamentals, pharmacology, etc and...

  24. LPN to RN c College Network?

    chaxanmom replied to shannonrj78's topic in Online Distance Learning

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've been confused then. I thought it was your LPN stuff they didn't accept. I think we all have to retake the A&P
