    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    FYI everyone. I just posted the list of states that accept ISU. Just got it from Kim the other day. Hopefully admin will sticky it for

  2. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not sure since I had already taken it. You'd have to call them and ask. I think it has to be a lab science but I'm not sure. There should be a phone number on the website I posted and they'd be...

  3. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Depends. Most of the pre-reqs can be tested out. You can buy TCN study guides or books...either way. Or you can take them traditionally. I've done a mix over the years. But TCN is the testouts. You...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You should be able to find the information you are looking for if you read the thread in its entirety because its all been posted or just read over the program information here:...

  5. College Network vs. Rue vs. Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to Lockcuff's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Um, no offense but you signed a legally sound contract. Why would you expect your money back? Sorry you changed your mind but that's not TCN's fault. Welcome to the real

  6. TCN...Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to radrook's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, no, you don't have to enroll with them. You just have to register with them...just establish an account...like you would on a message board or something, kwim? Doesn't cost

  7. TCN...Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to radrook's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm attaching two screen shots. They aren't clickable so I'm assuming it's ok to post them. I'm sure an admin will let me know if it's

  8. TCN...Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to radrook's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I didn't need the foreign language because I had it in high school. I'm still not sure what to do with the Phys Ed requirement. I think they said something about a nutrition class instead or...

  9. TCN...Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to radrook's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yep, I took the mental health one. The written therapeutic communication script isn't part of the test anymore but they get you when you get to psych nursing. Our instructor will be calling us and we...

    chaxanmom replied to radrook's topic in Online Distance Learning

    lol...you are so welcome! Just start looking for the study guides now since they're hard to find I

  11. TCN...Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to radrook's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The 4 study guides you can get through TCN but they are like $500 each. People have found them on eBay but I hear it's hard to find them. You can technically do it without them and just get the...

  12. TCN...Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to radrook's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OIC. Yes some of the pre-reqs are Excelsior tests. Excelsior is a testing service and provides tests just like CLEP and Dantes so schools who accept CLEP credit also may accept Excelsior credit. Other...

  13. TCN...Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to radrook's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You have to apply to and be accepted into ISU's nursing program. You can't just enroll. There is a big packet of information on their site.

  14. TCN...Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to radrook's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Why is Excelsior in the title? They have nothing to do with ISU. ISU does not have any "nursing concepts" exams. That is excelsior, not ISU. There is one med-surg, one peds, one maternal-child and one...

  15. Bricks and Mortar vs. Distance Learning....

    chaxanmom replied to grneyes676's topic in Online Distance Learning

    IMO definitely do the online option of brick and mortar. As distance learning gets more and more popular there WILL be a difference in perception between virtual universities and brick and mortar....

  16. Anyone ever join a medical mission trip?!

    chaxanmom replied to christvs's topic in General Nursing

    MSF (Doctors without Borders) requires your first mission to be at least 6 months. I'm in the middle of reading "Hope in Hell" and that's what they say although it may or may not be old

  17. Distance Learning Programs

    chaxanmom replied to yogakim1023's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, Indiana State is legit. They are a real brick and mortar university and have been for a long time. Like many other schools, they offer distance classes. Your classroom portion is done online...

  18. TCN credits transferrable?

    chaxanmom replied to NurseKatSteeZ's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, what she said. Just depends on if the school you apply to accepts CLEP, DSST (Dantes) or Excelsior credits. Some of them, like A&P or micro, will not transfer because most schools want you...

  20. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think so. I had it so I'm not sure if it was chemistry specifically that was required or if it just fulfilled a lab science requirement. Check your program guide to be sure. Should be listed with...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took micro using the TCN module. It was pretty intense so you need to study hard. I studied for a month and got an A so its not horrible but you do need to

  22. Indiana State University ???

    chaxanmom replied to blufoxtrot's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When I signed up with TCN they included a letter from my BON saying the ISU program was accepted. I know it's accepted now because I have clinicals and everything arranged and the hospitals check on...

  23. Help! Just found out I'm moving to D.C.!!

    chaxanmom replied to AllisonLP's topic in General Nursing

    If you have kids and you intend to use the public school system then Montgomery County is the way to go. My husband is stationed at Andrews AFB and there are a tremendous amount of homeschoolers there...

    Maryland does accept ISU for distance learning. Just an FYI to Stacie. I'm in Maryland and doing ISU. The BON accepted the program in May of '07. I found out recently that TCN isn't necessary for ISU...
