  1. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Dantes is the only one that is graded pass/fail. ISU doesn't have a 3.5 minimum. Might have something to do with this Sonoma State deal she

  2. Anyone in Tampa, FL doing ISU's LPN to RN online program?

    chaxanmom replied to gtlpn2rn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If they are newly approved in Florida then they probably don't have them set up there yet which is why they didn't know about specific sites. Once you are in the program *you* decide which facilities...

    chaxanmom replied to Platypus's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Bumping this thread and adding a question. I just found out that I need an ATI package for my LPN to BSN transition class. It's $457. I thought it was just for that class but since a couple of others...

  6. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, first it has to be approved by your BON before you even start the program so check with that first. My clinicals were super easy. I did start earlier than most and emailed the clinical guy...

  7. Best zipcode to live in DC

    chaxanmom replied to gator23's topic in General Nursing

    20878! :) We live in Gaithersburg, MD and love this area. It's close enough to go to DC to museums and such and Montgomery County has it's own cultural life as well. Pricey but not terribly so...

  8. Any nurses who work for NIH?

    chaxanmom replied to bell06's topic in General Nursing

    Bumping this thread to see if there are more replies. I have a good friend who works at NIH. She's a nurse researcher (PhD). She loves it and really encouraged me to apply there after graduation. I'm...

  9. Scheduling My First Exam

    chaxanmom replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have a 6 year old son who could give him a run for his money. We'll take him...how far are you from DC?

  10. Anyone in Tampa, FL doing ISU's LPN to RN online program?

    chaxanmom replied to gtlpn2rn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes they find the clinical sites for you. I'm doing ISU but I'm in Maryland so I can't help you with Tampa sites. They guy I have been working with is Mike Mehl but another guy (Mark something) just...

  11. Getting Study Guides

    chaxanmom replied to rrt_thats_me's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Which study guides? Maybe if you post which courses you need them for someone may be able to recommend a book instead and you can try half.com?? I have TCN study guides and it's just like learning...

  12. Chancellor's VS College Network

    chaxanmom replied to ladycrafter14's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I used College Network for my last few pre-req's and I'm happy with the product but, as Caliotter said, you can usually get them cheaper elsewhere so try that route

  13. TEASE entrance exam

    chaxanmom replied to MimismomRN's topic in General Students

    Don't be nervous. It is MUCH easier than the study books make it out to be. I'm assuming by study guide you mean the nursing school entrance exam book? I studied that thing like crazy because it had...

  14. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, you have to be accepted to ISU, have a sycamore ID and contact Carol Layman to set it up on your blackboard

  15. why did you pick your school?

    chaxanmom replied to shoebottom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I chose online because I was homeschooling my children when I decided to embark on this journey. They are in school now but I just prefer the flexibility of online. I chose ISU because 1)it is an...

  16. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not sure but it's a transcript from Excelsior so I assume it's the letter grade too like other

  17. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes that's what you do...study the module and test out. You get a letter grade for the test. Honestly, I can't recommend one way or another. Gotta do what's best for you and your learning style. :)...

  18. Words of Encouragement LVN to RN with ISu

    chaxanmom replied to mefime's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Honestly, once you start the ISU portion phase 2 and 3 sort of morph together. I'm still working on my modules and am starting the transition class next month so technically I'm only conditionally...

  19. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Awesome! I have her for Research/Theoretical Basis for Nursing. I have Peacock for Assessment, Sample for Nursing in Mental Illness, and Fine for Transition. How is the pharmacology for the transition...

  21. College Network Study Guide

    chaxanmom replied to rrt_thats_me's topic in Online Distance Learning

  22. Indiana State University BSN students

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've done A&P and Microbiology with TCN guides and got A's on both. :) They're tough but definitely doable! I highly recommend the Physiology coloring book to go along with A&P though. Made a...

  23. Words of Encouragement LVN to RN with ISu

    chaxanmom replied to mefime's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes this will be my first semester with ISU. As far as clinicals, I have the full psych clinical for that class then for the assessment class I just need a mentor with at least a BSN so it's not a...

  24. College Network Study Guide

    chaxanmom replied to rrt_thats_me's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think it's like $450. I'm using them for I think 6 of my pre-reqs and then my 4 nursing modules for ISU. I like that they are concise and to the point but if I had thought about getting them on ebay...
