  1. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The classwork portion is online at ISU. Same content as the on campus students but you have power point with audio presentations for lecture and you have supplemental websites to read in addition to...

  2. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I''m in the clinical portion now. You send the guy at ISU the contact info for the site. He makes the contact and handles the communication until a contract is established then passes it over to you...

  3. Clep

    chaxanmom replied to meltom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah that's what I meant, that they are credit by exam. EC exams are *definitely* tougher though. I've gotten A's on mine so far but I'm sweatin the whole time thinking that I totally bombed

  4. Clep

    chaxanmom replied to meltom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There's an Excelsior though which is just like a CLEP but through Excelsior rather than College

  5. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When I signed with them I got all 4 of my ISU modules for $1000 so that was a great one although I think matching your down payment is either an all the time thing or at least frequent because they...

  6. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't know of any online but you can take the Excelsior test for those classes and ISU accepts those. There's no lab for that. It's acceptable because you're already an

  7. LPN to RN what is your motivation?

    chaxanmom replied to fuerza757's topic in LPN to RN

    Hey at least you are honest! I think those who say money is not a motivator is either lying or independently

  8. Fastest LPN to BSN Program

    chaxanmom replied to arustyrobot's topic in LPN to RN

    I started phase 2/3 (doing both at the same time) in January. What are you taking? I'm taking Transition LPN to BSN, Research for Nursing, Nursing in Mental Illness and Health Assessment. Glad to have...

  9. Are my ears broken?stethoscope bad?

    chaxanmom replied to vivasmom's topic in General Students

    I had the same problem she has and turns out that was why. Soooo

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You didn't take foreign language in high school? That's what I

  11. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    TCN *only* sells study guides. Think of them as a textbook publisher because that's what they do. You do not need TCN to accept *anything*. CLEP study guides aren't like the TCN ones in that they are...

  12. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would imagine you find out just like you would any other time you transfer from one school to another. I called them about a couple of mine and sent them the course description. ISU is a real brick...

  13. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, the modules are like $500 a pop so probably you want to do as many as you can first! It's entirely possible to do the whole thing without TCN though. Just so ya know.

  14. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Of course. TCN isn't a school. Never claimed to be. You buy study guides from them. They offer some services like the pass guarantee and some support services but you don't go to classes or anything....

  15. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good question about currency. I have no idea to be honest. I'm not so sure it matters on most topics but I can't say for sure. You have to set up your own testing regardless of whether you get your...

  16. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Meet with TCN so you can sit down and evaluate what courses you need. They give you a great little list to take with you. Don't sign anything! Then come back, look on eBay for modules, ask about...

  17. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No it's not just hands on. You have tests, quizzes, lots of reading requirements, research papers, tutorials, etc. You are responsible for the same content as the on campus students. This is not a...

  18. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No idea if that's true or not. I wasn't concerned about not getting in at all but I was worried about not getting in that semester d/t that test. I did get in though and started my ISU classes last...

  19. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    106 was the easiest test I've taken in a long time. Like I said, many of the questions were from the study guide. I got a 94%. I'm taking Nursing Care of Adults on Friday. The TCN study guide is just...

  20. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ISU is just as good as traditional because it is the exact same content and requirements as the on campus students. On your transcript it will just say Indiana State it doesn't specify if you attended...

  21. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Nope. It's easiest to use the modules for the 4 nursing courses you test out of though. They are written specifically for those tests. I've taken one of them...taking another one Friday. And many of...

  22. I am so anal about my grades

    chaxanmom replied to krenee's topic in General Students

    Also wanted to add that high grades help you get into Sigma which looks really great on resumes and grad school applications. It pays to be an achiever, don't let anyone talk you out of

  23. I am so anal about my grades

    chaxanmom replied to krenee's topic in General Students

    Same here. I can hardly even tolerate a low A. I don't feel the least bit bad about it either. :) It's way better than not caring about

  24. Indiana State LPN-BSN vs Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to CitrusNurse_LPNII's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just started the ISU program in January. Loving it so far. LOTS of work but that's how you become a good nurse! I'm very very impressed with my professors so far! Loooooove Dr. Frank in my research...

  25. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No idea if it's difficult or not. I tranferred in a 4.0 GPA and really high TEAS scores. You are accepted conditionally until your testouts and transition course are done...but getting into the school...
