    OIC so it would just affect students. Who knows. ISU has been a traditional brick and mortar school for a long time so that's all that matters to me. lol! I had the same thoughts regarding EC so I...

    chaxanmom replied to Gamom2three's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's assuming the National License Board acknowledges EC. At any rate I think the national thing sounds wonderful! No more having to pay to transfer your license! I've been an LPN for 10 of the 14...

    chaxanmom replied to Gamom2three's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah that's a fairly new thing but yes they do do that now. As long as you understand that it's a separate charge and aren't thinking it's included in the price of the modules. I used part of my...

  6. evidence based practice article??

    chaxanmom replied to cheesecake89's topic in General Students

    Ok so you just need an article about implementing an EBP then? Depending on which database you use there might be a box to check that says "evidence-based practice". If you don't see that box then I...

  7. evidence based practice article??

    chaxanmom replied to cheesecake89's topic in General Students

    Do you have access to a database through your school?? That's what you need. You can set parameters to only get research articles and to get full text, etc. There are tons and tons of research...

    chaxanmom replied to Gamom2three's topic in Online Distance Learning

  9. The College Network and LPN-RN @ Indiana State

    chaxanmom replied to Gamom2three's topic in Online Distance Learning

    chaxanmom replied to Gamom2three's topic in Online Distance Learning

  11. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think if it weren't for distance education I would never get my BSN. It's just too hard to make sure childcare is all arranged and then have to pay for gas, etc. I love school but the juggle is so...

  12. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I used a combination of brick and mortar college and a few TCN guides. I've been picking away at my degree on and off for about 100 years. Haha! You can have you scores sent directly to ISU. Also you...

  22. ISU or Excelsior? Pros and Cons ... ?

    chaxanmom replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's based on, I believe, a 13 week semester. I'd have to look at a syllabus to say for sure but it's 13-15. Exams depend on the class. We do ATI so those you need a proctor for. Unit exams are...

  23. ISU or Excelsior? Pros and Cons ... ?

    chaxanmom replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning
