  5. The College Network - Legit or Scam?

    nurse_bear replied to RHJS's topic in Online Distance Learning

    TCN is not a scam. they tell you everything about themselves....however they neglect to tell you that you don't need them. You can go through Excelsior and take the exams without them. Its kinda like...

  6. Lvn to Bsn via TCN? ISU?Really confused?

    nurse_bear replied to ocmommyof3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    no....no....NO!!!!!! I am glad you asked. Go straight through ISU! TCN are nice, friendly, and helpful people but why pay them $7,000 to do something you can do on your own? I have about 9 more...

  7. Question about LS2!

    nurse_bear replied to JJLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    nurse_bear replied to Erin5577's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It was the only one I made a "d" on so far. I am re-taking it in a few months. I didn't like it at all. Alot of genetic abnormalities and things like that. I wasn't prepared. I did SG 101 also. Good...

  18. The college network, essentials health safety

    nurse_bear replied to RICHIE.RICH's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think thays why they target people who will graduate soon. They are so eager to be an RN that it clouds their judagement! They approve you no matter how sloppy your credit is too. That should have...

    nurse_bear replied to RICHIE.RICH's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow, I feel guilty now. I have all of my college network books from 2007 that I never even opened. I signed up with TCN in 07 thinking I was going to get it done fast. Turns out I was so burned out on...
