Yeah I looked @ Amazon for the Chem book & wasn't ready to pay that much for a book. Send me a PM about were to rent the Chem book if you don't mind. I got the book for English Comp 2 from half.com for $2 + shipping. I hope I can get access today so that I can get started. Maybe in a few weeks I can add Chem. I'll let you know how Comp 2 goes.

That's great. I signed up for English Comp 2 today thorugh Staighterline. Just waiting to get an email from the course advisor with my sign in info. How has Eng Comp 1 been for you so far? I haven't taken English in a long time. I took Eng Comp 1 about 14 years ago. Hoping I can get the hang of it. After this I will be taking Chem 1 w/lab. And hopefully by then the A&P will be available.

Thanks for the info INLPN93. I have been seeing it in the bookstore but I have never heard anyone on here mention them.

The Content Guide I'm referring to is found in the bookstore. When you go to order my books and put in the test you want books for it comes up under that. It's actually called "Course Guide" and it is $24.95.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to try to download it again. I sent an email to EC in the meantime. So hopefully something will work.

I have been trying to download the free content guide for Lifespan Developmental Psychology but I can't get it to download. I have Adobe Reader on my computer and I know it works. I have Health & Safety & Transitions guides downloaded already and I can pull them up. UGHH!! It's when I go to the site I can not get any of them to pull up. Frustrating!!! I was going to start studying for this test this weekend. Is anyone else having trouble downloading the guides. Has anyone used the Content guide that EC sells for aprox $25 for each subject?

I called EC & they sent it through email but then I couldn't view it either. I ended up having to reinstall Adobe Reader. So I have now been able to look at it. Gotta long ways to go but gonna take it one step at a time.

I am having problems viewing my unofficial evaluation for the LPN-RN program through EC. They sent me an email this morning saying that I could view my review after 2 hours of getting the email. Well when I go to look at it, it keeps asking me for a password to be able to view the document. I put in my EC password and it keeps telling me it is the wrong password. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have sent an email to EC but was hoping that someone could help me. Thanks.

How long do you have to do the 4 CSM's in Phase II? Is this covered under student loans?

I have a few questions for those of you who are in Phase II. I know you have to complete the 10 courses before enrolling into Phase II but do you enroll into Phase II at the beginning of a semester or can you enroll at anytime. (hope that makes sense). For Phase II do you pay tuition at ISU or just pay for the test outs? And when do you finish the other general courses needed to finish the degree? Are these done through test outs or do you do them online through ISU. I got a list from ISU regarding all the classed needed and I was wondering what you all used for Lit, Artisitic & Philosophical Studies (6 hours) and the Multicultural Diversity studies. Thanks...and I hope some of this makes sense.

rainingwoman, When you go to ebay, search for "college network". A list of different modules will come up and I just looked at them and actually there is another set that has been added today. The only thing is that the two different sets have other general ed modules with them, but if you can get them at a good price you can always re-list the general ed modules back on ebay. Look for the following listing after you search for "college network": Brand New Excelsior College Network Set (this says Excelsior but the modules needed for ISU is what is in this set) and the other set says something about (LVN-RN Bridge). Hope this helps you better. The names are: Nursing Care of the Child and Family, Nursing Care of the Childbearing Family, Nursing Care of Adults, Mental Health Aspects of Nursing Practice. Hope this helps you better.

raining woman, Look on ebay and search for college network, there has been a whole set on there this week. I'm not at the point of needing the modules just yet. I plan on taking A&P I/II, Chem, Micro through my local CC this next year and then I will be able to apply. I am studying Sociology Clep right now and hope to be testing out this month. Hope this helps with looking for the modules.

I have been an LPN for 12 years and wanting to get started on my BSN through ISU. The questions I have are about the pre-reqs. 1. I need Speech and I was wondering how hard the DANTES Principles of Public Speaking was and what you used to study for the test out. What kind of subjects do they use for the speech? Do you have a quiet place to do the speech or do you do it in front of someone? 2. What did you use to test out the English Composition requirement? 3. Will Introductory Chemistry work to satisfy the Chemistry requirement? I am going to be testing out of Intro to Sociology & Human Growth & Development this fall. In the Spring I will be starting at my local CC to get A&P 1 & 2, Micro, and Chem. If I can test out on Speech and English Comp I will be able to apply to ISU Spring 2011. Will I need to take the TEAS before I enroll? If so what did you use to study for this? Is there anyone who is just starting and want to do this together. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for sharing your story. The CPNE is the one thing that has me scared to death. This gives me the courage to keep going for my RN through EC.
