    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It can be CLEPed but its not one that needs to be done before phase 2. I haven't taken it yet. It's on my summer hit list. I think in your case I'd either take it through ISU or call them with your...

    chaxanmom replied to saltwaterstat's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ISU is a state university and their tuition is pretty average for a state school. I have a list floating around somewhere (maybe on the sticky thread?) that lists which states accept ISU at this...

    Seems right. You're correct on the 50 credit upper level and that sounds like the right classes. I should save my DARS report as a text file so you and Tracy can see what the breakdown is. They are...

    I'm looking at my DARS report and it has as options Advanced Expository Writing OR a technical writing course OR this one which sounds like maybe an English Lit course would substitute?? ENG 308 -...

  7. indiana or excelsior?

    chaxanmom replied to saltwaterstat's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OIC. I would check into that more if you were still looking at options. I transferred a LOT into ISU. Almost all of my pre-reqs were transferred from another college and the rest are...

    chaxanmom replied to saltwaterstat's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ISU is not "no fail clinical". You can fail clinicals just like you can in traditional nursing school. With ISU you do what the on campus students do with the exception of lectures. Rather than sit in...

  13. Dealing with Judgement for going to Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to Amber07's topic in Online Distance Learning

    People *complained* about having to do clinicals?? How stupid. One of the reasons I chose ISU over EC is clinicals. They are a benefit!

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know she works for ISU but I think she's some sort of secretary. Just my personal experience but I've never really gotten good solid info from her so I would just talk to the other people mentioned....

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was thinking either them or Jeanine O. Could she help her out too? Kim is sometimes slow on emails if she's really busy and I've gotten a lot of emails from Jeanine regarding pre-req's, etc and...

    Research was my hardest class but the professor (Dr. Frank) is sooooo awesome! BSN level nursing isn't going to be easy no matter where you go and you have to write in any bachelor program. The thing...

    Proctoring fees depend on the facility. I pay $25 at the cc. The library I used once was free but the people working there never shut up during my TEAS so I didn't go for tests there after that. Most...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Depends on the class. We do ATI so you need a proctor for that. I had 4 classes and for Transition LPN to BSN we had timed pharmacology tests, for Research the tests were open book (but still HARD),...
