  1. EC A&P How many weeks did you study?

    chaxanmom replied to rh39's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm working on it currently with the TCN guide and the Physiology Coloring Book (HIGHLY recommend this!! I'm a visual learner and TCN guide is lacking in pics I think). It's been almost 8 weeks for me...

  2. Chancellors Versus College Network

    chaxanmom replied to JOLIEDAME's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm doing College Network and it really depends on the module. Public Speaking I went through in less than 2 weeks, Micro about a month, A&P I'm still plugging away at 2 months later. Had a lot...

  3. Online RN programs?

    chaxanmom replied to newbie12345's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ah, I see. I was assuming she was an LPN but had no other college credits outside of that.

  4. Online RN programs?

    chaxanmom replied to newbie12345's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Doesn't Excelsior have an LPN to ADN program? No clinicals but only CPNE test with that

  5. ISU Concern

    chaxanmom replied to adnerbe1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Depends on how much college credit you have and how quickly you complete your CSMs. I think they said something like 2-3 years assuming no other college

  6. BSN not all its cracked up to be

    chaxanmom replied to JOLLIEHOLLY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Awesome answer. Ditto

  7. ISU Concern

    chaxanmom replied to adnerbe1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have Micro, A&P, technical writing, public speaking, pathophysiology, gerontology and the 4 phase 2 ones. That's all I had left to do when I signed

  8. ISU Concern

    chaxanmom replied to adnerbe1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ditto your thoughts here. I decided to go back to school because I'm homeschooling my kids and we're doing classical which is really rigorous and I didn't feel like my public school education gave me...

  9. ISU Concern

    chaxanmom replied to adnerbe1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was told by my TCN rep that ISU does indeed set up the clinicals. The packet from ISU spells out the steps to getting a clinical site set up and it confirms that. It better be true! I'll be sooooo...

  10. BSN not all its cracked up to be

    chaxanmom replied to JOLLIEHOLLY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was answering a specific question, not making a judgement. As far as actual nursing practice goes, an RN is an RN. However, I do have to comment on your last sentence. Words mean things. They...

  11. A&P through Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to aegirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Are you going to start phase 2 after you finish your gray line courses or wait until you finish everything? I'm just starting after gray lines are done...just A&P and the speech test left. Hoping...

  12. Online Courses for Micro and A&P I and II

    chaxanmom replied to jeaner68's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Online labs=no smelly cadavers. :) We participated in an autopsy when I was in LPN school (not planned, we had a substitute one day who had a friend who was a pathologist so we had an impromptu field...

  13. A&P through Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to aegirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've been working on it about 3 weeks and I'm on chapter 7. Almost done with that though. Basically I'm just making sure I know each chapter well and taking whatever time I need rather than like with...

  14. A&P through Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to aegirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't recommend doing them at the same time. That would be pretty intense. I did micro with a public speaking course I had to do (still need to test on that one). A&P isn't *hard* as in...

  15. A&P through Excelsior

    chaxanmom replied to aegirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Anyone take both this and EC Microbiology? How do they compare? Micro kicked my butt. I got an A but barrrrrrrrrely and I still didn't feel like I knew the material well. I'm working on A&P now,...

  16. BSN not all its cracked up to be

    chaxanmom replied to JOLLIEHOLLY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Two-year colleges are also called "technical schools" because they teach technical/vocational things. In other words..."training" vs. "education" in the true sense of the words. Not dissing 2-year...

  17. im confused about ISU

    chaxanmom replied to NICUrn2B's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would definitely call and get your answers straight from them. Everything else is just hearsay and you don't really want to go by just that. :) I posted a link on your other thread...should be a...

  18. general ed reqs for ISU?

    chaxanmom replied to NICUrn2B's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This page gives catagories but not the specific courses and some of them have specific requirements. Like the international/multi-cultural one has to be either world religions or world geography. I...

  19. Whadda u think about the college network?

    chaxanmom replied to jaceysaunt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    yes, you are correct in that you only need tcn for the 4 nursing courses if you do the other pre-req's through another school or test out on your own. not sure if it would work to get them off ebay...

  20. Whadda u think about the college network?

    chaxanmom replied to jaceysaunt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    not sure if its tcn or isu that actually sets up the clinicals/preceptors for you. sorry...i should have been more clear on that part but the point is the same which is that it is part of this...

  21. Whadda u think about the college network?

    chaxanmom replied to jaceysaunt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Clinicals are arranged by TCN for you. You pick the location you want to do clinicals at and then they call and set you up with a preceptor there. It's different from Excelsior because you have...

  22. Whadda u think about the college network?

    chaxanmom replied to jaceysaunt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Meh, who isn't these days? lol! I'm all about streamlining my pre-req's and TCN is the only way in to the only online LPN-BSN program in the country which is what I want so I'll happily toss them a...

  23. Whadda u think about the college network?

    chaxanmom replied to jaceysaunt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I see this was posted several months ago but in case you are still reading...I don't see why you couldn't do that. People sell those study guides on eBay. You buy the study guides, not pay for tuition...

  24. Whadda u think about the college network?

    chaxanmom replied to jaceysaunt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Their NCLEX prep course is totally optional. I just signed up with them a few weeks ago and declined it. :) There are sooo many NCLEX books out there and the PN version was no sweat so I'm not paying...
