This is an amazing bag!!! I love the zippered pocket for the sharps container and the plastic dividers. Great bag if you see many patients and need to carry wound supplies.

Are you talking about the assessment class? Can't remember which nursing course it is. Do you work with any RNs? I just asked one of my uncle's co-workers.

I have 2 more semesters at ISU and have not had any problems finding a clinical site or preceptor. I did locate the facility but ISU did all the paperwork & negotiating for the contract. I was also given names of facilities that other students ...

You can use any RN that can give 2-4 hours of their time a week, actually may be less. One of my uncle's co-workers was my preceptor for the assessment class. ISU should not drop you for not having a preceptor, unless they have changed things since...

You should first check with the board in your state to see what schools are approved. Some states do not allow Excelsior because there is no clinical portion. I would not recommend TCN. However, I would recommend ISU. I am in my final year (took ...

Chaxanmom, I am taking N450, Community Health, this fall and was wondering what were the assignments for clinical? Were there care plans or concept maps? Also, if you can remember, what were some of the topics discussed in the lecture part of class...

I used the TCN study guides for the 4 nursing exams and 2 of the 4 exams were identical to the reviews in the study guides. You could complete all 4 in a semester but would need to devote a lot of time to studying. I am in my final year and live in...

ISU is a state school and you can apply for financial aid. I have received PELL grants and student loans.

There are only 4 modules for the challenge exams. The rest of the study modules depends on what classes you already have.

It just what they call the TCN study modules, believe it stands for "comprehensive study module"

Feel free to contact me via e-mail and ask any questions. Happy to help

RDelaney Thank you!

Unfortunately, I do not believe that LLUMC is taking any further students only there own. This may be only temporary though. They are wonderful and have great staff!

I am doing my clinicals at Loma Linda University. Please feel free to send me an e-mail or ask any questions. I was hoping to graduate in Dec but I can't go to summer school because I'm having surgery. I have really enjoyed this program and the pr...

It is actually not that easy to find clinical sites anywhere in CA. I have 4 classmates that live in LA and Orange county area and are still not in a clinical site. We have to compete with other schools that actually have an instructor on site and ...

I started the program in Aug 08 and with summer school this year, I will graduate in Dec '10.

What scares you about the program? I am in my senior year and have enjoyed all my classes and professors!

I don't know how much per unit but I am taking 14 units this semester and tuition was around $3600, clinical fee $300, and books $300 (rented 2 books). My total cost will be around $18000 for 2 1/2 years, if I can take a nursing class in the summer....

The online courses are the same course as the students on campus. They aren't more difficult. They do require you to stay motivated since you generally have a full week to complete tasks and assignments, which can allow for procrastination. There ...

I have all 4 of them. PM me. :)

As long as you dedicate study time you can complete the 4 CSMs by the fall. You do not have to purchase the study modules from TCN to take these exams, however, they are very helpful. You are responsible for paying for the modules, testing fee, and...

Aleisha and others looking into ISU, PLEASE remember that you absolutely do NOT have to buy the modules from The College Network to get into or complete the ISU LVN to BSN program! The 4 nursing modules would be very beneficial because the test ques...

Congratulations on getting accepted!! :yeah:My advice is take one day at a time. Enjoy your great accomplishment and your time with your family until you actually start class. Nursing school is definitely a challenge but absolutely worth it!!!! T...

I am non-traditional (35 & online program). PM me when you have the survey.

I have nothing bad to say about ISU's online program. I am in my senior year and will graduate in Dec of this year. For the TEAS, just use a nursing entrance exam book that you can get at Barnes & Noble or Amazon, etc. It's not that bad at all...
