Logan622- did you take the test with Excelsior college? or CLEP? or with college network themself? did choose not to sign up with college network and just bought some books on ebay. thank you for everyones responce :)

really I can just buy the classes on ebay instead of going through the school itself? and just sign up for a test?? where would I take the test??

Please reply if you have any tips or suggestions!!!! :) my ears are open because I am in desperate need of guidance and true knowledge!!! I have been reading a lot about LPN to BSN with Indiana State University and College Network. Seems like the more I read the more I am unsure what I should do and/or confused. I met up with college network guy and will be meeting him up again in 2 days to sign on with them to take 12 classes and 4 nursing transition course 1)I did look into taking the classes at community college that I need for Indiana state university but they are more expensive then that College network is offering. community college is offering 560per 5 credit class +books +gas to get to school. College network is offering 525 +test fees ($95-$300..depending what class it is.I only have one class that will charge me 305 for test), + they are giving me 20%grant if I sign up before 1/31/13. Seems like college network would be the easier route cause I would work at my own pace and still pay the same amount if not less regardless what school I sign up with. Everyone seems to be soooooo again college network but I am not sure what other route is the best and cheaper. please tell me why I shouldn't sign up with college network. 2) Indiana State University DegreeLink Program: Nursing (LPN/LVN to BS): Courses states that I can do CLEP or DSST tests too. how do those work and where would I get the study material?? and where would I take the test so they are qualified at Indiana State? would this be a cheaper route then signing up with college network?? I under stand that college network helps u take classes. is there another way to study to pass the course equivalency examinations other than going through college Network??? 3) will Indiana state university recognize all the credits that I get with College Network? (I know its not the college itself that issues credits but they are the ones work with examinations) 4)Any one in the SEATTLE area and or SNOHOMISH county that did clinicals in the area?? how hard is it to get in one and pass it? 5) are there any essasy in college Network or Indiana State University? I fear Essays!! 6) Is there anywhere else I can take the nursing transition courses other then College Network? 7) for college network, I have all my pre-requisites complete but do have 12 classes in General Educations to complete. Doe Indiana State really need all them classes?? or college network is trying to make me take classes I don't need for Indiana state university? 8) My grades aren't the best in my pre-requisites and most community college would even consider me due to my low GPA +some classes have a ready been expired and I would need to retake several. really don't want to go community college way to get my RN. want something online and in a way at my own pace because I am planning to work full time. is going to College network then to Indiana state university really a bad route?? what else should I look into??? please help me. I don't know what to do but do really want to get my RN that will be accepted in WA and CA state. thank you for your time!! any comments will be greatly appreciated :)
