SailinSand and obasnurse, I will PM you. wait for my message before you sign anything with College Network.

Cal State Univ Dominguez Hills Georgetown University Those 2 are online programs.

whatever you do, dont sign anything with college network. If you have a degree already, work directly with ISU. I did it. I will PM you. dont sign and dont pay anything. i will give you my info for free this weekend.

stronger heart translates to better circulation, better blood flow,etc. Muscles also have more mitochondria because training hard actually makes some muscles make more mitochondria (powerhouse of the cell). Muscles who are used to training don't ha...

i'm in the program now, anyone can PM me. I don't have all the answers, but I did not need to have anything to do w/ TCN. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have extra money to throw around.

There are a number of nurses who make $40-$50/ hr. Maybe that's not everybody, but compared to minimum wage, that is a "ton" of money. Of course, an AP nurse could definitely make more than that. I'm sure the average person doesn't really know that...

With $80K in student loans, I would seriously reconsider adding on any more, lest you find yourself paying student loans for the rest of your life. Unless you are really dying to be a nurse (and why didn't you go straight to nursing school first) an...

You take the test online, but you have to be somewhere such that a proctor is available. In my case, I took it at a state university close to my house and paid a $40 fee for proctoring services. There is a form that they will send to you once you si...

sad. On the other hand, I keep getting asthma brochures from my darn insurance company who thinks the kids have asthma because one of the ER people listed it... go figure. On the one hand, I understand HIPAA -- on the other hand, stories like this ...

you sound a bit like me -- long story. Anyway - that is the most frustrating part -- you would think that it would be easier to get into classes, but no...it's harder to get into nursing classes than it is to actually just pass the classes which real...

The ones that really hate it get out as soon as their debts are paid. There are countless stories of doctors giving up medicine because it's not what they signed up for. A number of them go into office jobs in the pharmaceutical industry and they ar...

the old system is unsustainable, but the new one is also quite unsustainable. Of course, you can always sustain it with higher taxes, I suppose. The new bill doesn't address the reason for high costs. What you are doing is replacing a system w/ anot...

you hit the nail on the head. when you expect the govt to provide everything for you, then you also give up your ability to make a real choice. But I suppose that people haven't figured that out. all they want is that someone else pays. What they do...

A private company can always dictate their price. And that price will be HIGH because they can no longer deny anyone to keep their costs low. Of course, if there's no money to be made, why stay in that business? I think they will get out and offer a...

lamazeteacher, you got it wrong. The church doesn't TELL anyone to do anything. It's a choice you make and have to live with. I'm one who didn't have an amnio because the results would not have made any difference to me. The catholic church does no...

THis is an interesting discussion, and I believe it brings out the pros and cons of the "socialized" system. My question is this: If the government now provides health care (or pays for it), what do you do if: 1) a woman is pregnant, and tests show ...

looks like you don't have much of a choice. Go for the sure thing. (option 2).

when you are ready to take the test, you notify the ISU person and you pay the fee to the bookstore. You pay the first half of the test and then you take the test (find a proctor, etc). When you pass the test, you pay the 2nd half of the test. THey...

You can't get TCN books from Chegg. Chegg only does real textbooks. You can get TCN books from ebay. If you want details, PM me. I'm just saying that if you have the time (deadline is not till June 1 anyway), you can study textbooks and still be abl...

If you study in the Philippines, make sure it's an accredited school or some school w/ a good CGFNS pass rate. There are too many diploma mills there and you might not pass CGFNS or NCLEX. The mode of instruction is English, so that's not a problem....

I just PM'd you.

I just took this test in October and passed w/ an A. I studied the Tortora book, just like the EC Study guide says. I rented the textbook. (Chegg.com). Take your time. Its a bit tricky, but make sure you read the book and study the outline. Know ...

You can rent any textbook you want from Chegg.com. They are very reasonable and reliable. Shipping the books to me was fast too. I am not making any money off Chegg.com. I am just sharing the information I found because I find them to be an excel...

i took and passed ec's micro exam (scored an a!) by using nothing more than a real good microbiology text. it's the one specified in the ec study guide. you can even rent the textbook from chegg.com i rented the book for 2 months (it's done by quar...

How annoying. They are one big bully. Please -- to anyone who wants to pass the ISU tests, I suggest you rent your textbooks at Chegg.com. They rent textbooks by the semester and it's only a small fraction of the cost of buying a book, and really stu...
