1. EC RN to BSN

   JDavis2009 replied to Phil313's topic in Online Learning

   I'm sorry if my honest opinion of the program I'm in seems like "pushing"... but, i think i'm entitled to talk about the great experience i'm having especially since a lot of people are so eager to bash it. i take it personally when someone says that...

2. Whadda u think about the college network?

   JDavis2009 replied to jaceysaunt's topic in Online Learning

   have you seen or taken advantage of the online courses...? I only ask that because i think they're worth more than the $15-$30 you can spend on e-bay -- it sounds like the majority of the complaints regarding tcn material is based solely on the PRINT...

3. The College Network

   JDavis2009 replied to nurserobyn96's topic in Online Learning

   douglask, smat1, dstep102570: as a newer tcn student its easy to get discouraged with all the negative comments...(i feel like everyone is telling me im a total idiot for using tcn) so, i appreciate seeing the positive experiences you all have had --...

4. Is anyone financing the exam fees & CPNE through TCN?

   JDavis2009 replied to SHARWELL's topic in Online Learning

   as far as I know tcn wont finance the cpne -- you have to pay excelsior directly.

5. ? on The College Network (can't find 1st post)

   JDavis2009 replied to reklaw's topic in Online Learning

   i asked tcns academics service about this.. theysaid that if you finance your exam fees with TCN then they are obligated to pay for them as you test (if your contract is in good standing)-- regardless of any increase. so if you financed your exam fee...

   JDavis2009 replied to srfjesusppl's topic in Online Learning

   Hi srfjesusppl, How are you doing so far in the tcn program? Have you taken your first exam yet? Just noticed you hadn't posted on this thread for a while -- :)

7. New Pearson testing centers!

   JDavis2009 replied to BeachieRN84's topic in Online Learning

   this is awesome! I noticed last week there were about A LOT more sites available for Excelsior exams in my area -- i drove almost 2hrs for my first exam, but that's been cut to only 20 min :)

8. EC RN to BSN

   JDavis2009 replied to Phil313's topic in Online Learning

   I'm considering this as an affordable option for my BSN after I finish the ASN -- it's a blended program and has both test-out and online classes. You can contact Excelsior directly about this as well as College Network (if you haven't been scared b...

9. What's the weirdest baby name?

   JDavis2009 replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Fayle seriously... Fail?!?! who does that?!

10. What is the silliest thing you've heard a nurse say?

    JDavis2009 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    OMG.. this is something my mom used to say to me and my sister when we'd get into arguments...haha.. I haven't heard this in a long time, but I would probably slap someone for saying it now :)

11. Whadda u think about the college network?

    JDavis2009 replied to jaceysaunt's topic in Online Learning

    I thought about that after reading a lot of the bad reviews on here, but I decided to meet with a rep anyway. when he came out to my house he showed me how all the guides are now offered online and that really appealed to me. i hardly use the printed...

    JDavis2009 replied to jaceysaunt's topic in Online Learning

    College Network is not a requirement for completing Excelsior's RN Program but some people (like me) have found their services very helpful. Some say it's a more expensive way to go, but having one online study guide per cousre instead of the multipl...

13. College Network

    JDavis2009 replied to Ms.RN's topic in LPN-RN

    Telling people to "expect a high pressure sales pitch" an opinionated statement that doesn't reflect 100% truth, so the only reason to write that would be to scare people...unless YOU have personally met with a cn rep -- but it doesn't sound like you...

14. Any LPN's here experienced Excelsior or ISU??

    JDavis2009 replied to RxOnly's topic in Online Learning

    I'm currently working with College Network for my RN and have had very positive experience so far. Just one online study guide for every class instead of regular text books. May not be for everyone though, because you really have to be able to make y...

15. College Network

    JDavis2009 replied to Ms.RN's topic in LPN-RN

    I wouldn't describe my meeting as "high pressure" at all and I don't understand why you would try to scare people away from making an educated decision for themself. also buying them though ebay presents a couple of problems.... violation of copywrit...
