  1. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I got it directly from Kim Cook. It's dated Sept. so information may have changed since then OR the BON person could be wrong. That's what happened with MD board too so that's totally possible. ISU...

    It's not Mike anymore, it's Mark. When I started it was Mike. :) Tell them a couple of different places as soon as you are accepted into the program so they can begin the contract process. It took I...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The guy who does the contracts is used to talking to hospitals and making the arrangements. They do this every day. I didn't have a contact person, I just got a main number and address and Mike took...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's awesome! That's totally the kind of thing I was yammering on and on about with regard to being proactive. :yeah: Also, we thought we may be moving to Louisiana for awhile and it's not...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The program has been up and running for quite some time. They don't always have students in every state which is why there aren't clinical sites in every city in the US. I'm not sure what your...

  6. States accepting ISU...I'm posting the list here.

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Bumping this because someone was looking for it.

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yep. I posted it and asked for a sticky but it didn't get stickied. I don't have the file handy anymore but if you go under my name where it lists posts I've made it will be there. I forget the...

  8. Indiana State University ???

    chaxanmom replied to blufoxtrot's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yep, I know. I've been working with him and posted his info somewhere around here. That was an old

  9. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    chaxanmom replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    I was totally distracted by some guy at church last Sunday night because his nails appeared to be clubbed. I kept staring like some stalker trying to catch a better glimpse of his nails to see if I...

  10. Post traumatic stress disorder from nursing school

    chaxanmom replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure my psych nursing textbook is going to give me a psychiatric problem! The chapters are soooooooooo long and the author just drones on and on and on and on... It's hard to study for...

    The phase 2 tests are not TCN tests (there's no such thing). You take them through ISU after you've been accepted to the program. Yes it's things an LPN should know. Phase 3 takes as long as you make...

  12. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In a nutshell, because the point of Excelsior is to test what you already know rather than to teach you. ISU is a traditional nursing program. The only difference is the physical location of the...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just took it a month or so ago. I didn't do well IMO...got an 84% *but* I definitely feel like I took too long between studying the module and taking the test so I forgot a lot of detail that I...

    See post #223. I answered this the other day.

    You're very welcome. Hope its helpful.

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The transition LPN to BSN class does help you get used to doing research online, with getting used to APA format, etc so that's something to keep in mind as well.

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Phase 2 are testouts so you do those whenever. No idea when each of classes are offered though. Check with ISU for their class

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It might be a good idea to maybe take at least an upper level writing course at a CC just so you are comfortable with writing and with the research process and all

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OIC. It's because it's a bachelor level program so that kind of thing is required and expected just like other majors. It's still all nursing related though. For example, my psych nursing paper is on...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    They do teach you how to do this stuff but really, I mean, this *is* college, yk? Just because it's distance or because it's nursing doesn't mean you don't have to do college work. What about when you...

  21. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ISU may not be for you then. The expectations for distance students are just like on campus students and yes you are required to write essays, do research papers, write critiques of research reports,...

    The basic guideline is 3 hours a week for 45 hour courses and 6 hours a week for 90 hour courses. But it is *very*

  23. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not working at all which is why I can do this full-time. I'd have to take a refresher course to transfer my license from VA to MD so it didn't seem worth it. I'd rather be broke for one more year...

  24. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Two of them have clinicals but only 45 hours each. Fall semester also has 2 classes with clinical but those are 90 each. Then next spring is another 90 hour one and the practicum which is...

  25. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Totally depends on you. I started this January but I'm taking 4 classes each semester (1 of which is PE so I think there must only be 11 nursing courses?), doing pre-req/co-reqs/phase 2 at the same...
