Do you mind me asking what your topic was? If I knew that I would atleast get to choose between a few topics I would feel so much better. How big was the audience anyway? and are you being video taped during the speech?

I purchased a study guide for the Principles of public speaking and I am really having my doubts about this. I don't have a problem speaking in front of people......especially if I have had time to prepare my materials. But....I just don't think I ca...

You said you passed both....what other test did you take? I am also wanting to take the Technical writing w/essay. Congratulations!

NHRNmomof3-Did you get your reulsts back yet? I am planning to take the Dantes exam for public speaking. I am not overly concerned about the written portion, just the impromptu speach portion, the ten minutes you get to prepare is not a lot of time.....

I think he should have said that they can *help* you pass the tests. You can use any study material you like to take the tests. I think the CN was helpful to me but yet on the verge of being dishonest with stuff they didn't tell me. Luckily, I didn't...

Shannon- I know exactly what you mean. I spoke to Marcia also and she was very nice and very helpful. There is a chart that shows you what classes specifically transfer over from indiviual colleges. I think the grey area is when you are getting credi...

I talked to them today about the accelerated track. She said that people who do it full time do ok with the accelerated track but that they have had bad luck with people trying to do the accelerated track along with working full time. She said they h...

I'm sure she is telling you the truth, you would probably have to ask her specifically about the accelerated trac. The man from TCN told me that it is not something they push becuase they prefer for you to take it slowly but if you request it they wi...

That is the normal length of the program but you can apply for the accelerated trac and be approved to double up on your classes. I think the school reserves the right to refuse your request to accelerate (depending on your grades and such) but will ...

Ok, I tried it again:)

Shannon-I sent yours. Nurse Hobbit-Did you get yours?

Yours is on its way too:)

Done:specs:

It's on its way:)

Thanks for the warning....at this point, I am very glad that I cancelled and didn't buy the $6000 in study guides. They are very helpful and have very slick marketing, I can see where many people hear what they have to say, are eager to get started a...

You can get a test outline and study guides for the EC exams for free? I went to their site and saw where you could take online practice tests for $75 but didn't see the free ones. Can you point me in the right direction? and also you don't need to b...

I talked to ISU and you do not have to be a LPN for two years before starting the program. I asked this on another thread but I think it is worth asking here too. I met with a man from the College Network and he gave me a paper with all the classes m...

I'm still trying to figure this out too.....can I take excelsior exams for things like microbiology or technical writing w/essay without being enrolled at excelsior college? ETA, I am going through ISU to get me BSN degree, so I can still take EC exa...

If you would send me your email, I will forward you the email that ISU sent me. It has attachments that describe the program in more detail and answereed a lot of questions for me. The actual nursing classes through ISU only start in the spring and ...

I will be starting ISU's LPN to RN this fall. Right now I am completing my prerecs through Clep tests and online courses. A friend of mine at work is doing it and is loving the online nursing classes. I'm very excited about it and have heard nothing ...

I am working on my prerecs to start the ISU LPN to BSN program. I had college network at my house a couple days ago reviewing things with me. They have a good study guide system that you can use to get a lot of your general ed classes done but then y...

Oh, well that certainly simplifies things. So I just get the book and teach it to myself. How do I find out more about the course, like how many tests are involved? I'm assuming you don't just take one test and test out of it do you? Thanks, Michelle

I am considering EC to get my ASN. If I take micro through them how do I get my clinical component in? Do I have to travel to a site? Thanks!

I think this will work well for me. I had the option of 2nd shift but with that I would literally *never* see my children during the week. 3rd will give me the luxury of being home on the afternoon/evenings with them....homework, dinner, family time,...

I would be very interested to hear this too, I am planning to take a position that is 3rd shift in about two weeks. I've never worked 3rd shift, or 2nd for that matter......I'm wondering how to organize myself to make the best of it. Chelle
