Any updates....waiting with baited breath as I'm contemplating this path, EC/adn then wgu or unitech for bsn. I still need to work on my prereqs....

Hi LadyinScrubs, Thank you for the excellent info as usual...I was told by ISU rep that after 9/27/12 there would be updated info about the BRN decision....obviously, I'm still waiting....will post any new info as soon as I receive it.... Mean while...

I was wondering does Indiana State care if you pass the TEAS 4 or TEAS 5 version?

Thank you for posting this blessing...I couldn't help but think about: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his will." Rom 8:28 You have accepted the "bad" with grace & h...

You know, you may have something there....only a deep unresolved anger can act so irrationally....

Thank you!, Wishing you the best job for you . Are you in Southern Calif?

Can you tell us which agency....I'm a new LVN grad too :) and I'm in The Inland Empire, San Bernardino/Riverside Area. Congrats!

Perhaps, each time there is a winner, another Cartoon can be posted :-)

I received my "Has Passed" letter for my NCLEX-PN on 3/2/2012, I took my test on 2/23/12 :w00t: PTL!

Hi Micha084, For my NCLEX-PN, I read Saunders NCLEX-PN w/CD (Green book), Lippcott NCLEX-PN Flash Cards, Davis NCLEX PN notes, ATI Comprehensive, reviewed my Lab Values, Dosages, ABG's, Pay attention to Delegation, Prioritization, ABCs, Pharm(?)(the ...

Mary: Oh look Bob...our Nursing Mascot is determined to speak to Administration... Bob: About what? Mary: Restoring the "Team Nursing Model"....it's the only Humane thing to do!

Mary: Why on earth did administration hire a dog to do our work? John pauses for a moment . John: Perhaps because our administrators thinks our nurses can learn all the tricks in the book.

Thank you for posting the concise steps. I just took my NCLEX-PN today 2/23/12, shut off at 85!, did the "PVT" and the "Good" pop up came up.... you would think Calif would want to see more $$ and would open up the "Quick" answer by website....anyho...

I will do just that, this involves an enormous amount of commitment, time and monies from my part. The way I go about this is rather analytical and systematic, in writing is the rule...after reading all the horrific experiences by other students wit...

to ladyinscrubs.... "essentially, you are locked in to going to isu or excelsior because they accept those classes--" yes you are correct (i wonder which material tcn uses, ece,clep or dante for these courses with lab?). "i have no idea how much pers...

thanks ladyinscrubs, i was just under the impression that i wouldn't be able to get this info from isu...i'm hoping the person isu connects me to in isu is not connected to tcn, like their rep or something, then i feel like this person would not be ...

hi redge03, "i was also told by the tcn rep that isu will accept the following subjects w/o labs: a & p micro chem biology so i would take these with them, cz i might even need to use their tutor ;-} yes, these classes are classes that have a la...

Will ISU release the objectives and study guide and list of books for the 4 challenge courses w/o going thru TCN....I do not want to go thru TCN after reading the awful things they have done: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/education/college_network.h...

Redge03, I really want to thank you for all the helpful info and invaluable links

Can you send me a copy-paste link to the Calif Blog(s) you are referring to... I can not seem to find them....thk you Ladyin Scrubs :)

Again you never fail LadyinScrubs! Is this the ISU website with requirements you are referring to for LVN to BSN for Calif?: http://www.indstate.edu/degreelink/lpntobs/lpnbscourses.html#phase1 I was hoping to do all the pre-req'ts thru places like "I...

hi ladyinscrubs, thanks for all you direct posts, i am finding them very insightful :-) where is the california isu lvn to bsn site....here on allnurses.com?

Dear Redge03, I want to thank you for taking the time to compile this info. I met last month with the TCN Rep, have not signed up yet. I live in Calif. I just graduated LVN Nov 2011(awaiting to take my NCLEX-PN). I have no gen eds. I had read about...
