Thanks so much for your prompt response!!! Also did you pay the entire $895 for enrollment, or were you allowed to make a partial payment in order to enroll? If so ( if you don't mind me asking) how much did you have to pay

Question, I just found out about the Oct 1st deadline, I just sent my application overnight FedEx, so they should have it Monday, how long did it take for you guys to be accepted? My hope is to be accepted ASAP and Enroll right after to make the October 1st deadline, my A&P and Micro just hit the over 5 yr mark

Thanks for posting this, I'm also in Michigan. I looked into ISU last year and there very few sites in Michigan, the only 2 I saw were in Grand Rapids area. I'm actively, looking into the ISU program again, I took a break from school because it was overwhelming. So I will either look into Michigan sites or Ohio sites. Good luck!

Good luck to you!!!

Hi all, I haven't been on here in ages!! I graduated as a LPN in December 2010, became licensed in March 2011, and finally getting ready for the next step Excelsior. I've been paying off a community college that I attended 3 yrs ago so that I could get my transcripts. I will send them their final payment this coming Wednesday. After that I will apply to Excelsior. I have taken majority of the pre-reqs at community college, so I'm hoping all I have left are nursing courses. I spoke with a rep last week who informed me about the October 2012 deadline for 5yr limit on sciences. There's no way I'm those again, they are 5 yrs old as of this past winter. I researched EC throughout the years and learned tons of info here. Now I'm finally going to be a student! Yayy so excited!!

Hi Cindarent, what books did you use in place of TCN guides. I have an appointment with a TCN rep next Wednesday and don't want to sign up with them if I can find the books elsewhere. Also I have about 10 classes already done, I only need to Clep out of two clases and take the 4 entrance exams before I start phase 2. Do you think that there were alot of hoops to jump through to get started with this program? I would like to start this coming fall

I'm also intrested, just finished my LPN program and ready to start on my RN, any info on Monroe's program is greatly appreciated

I currently attend PSI and it is great!! Has a very high reputation, and is one of the only schools that many hospital will hire LPNs from. I will be done in december and it's great, very very hard but great! Teachers are really hands on and very approachable, their goal is to make best nurses possible. They take pride in their high reputation. TSPN reputation not so good, look on ohio nursing state board website, they are getting ready to lose accredidation. I aslo live in Michigan, the travel is ok, if you get into a carpool its even better, that should be no problem over half of the students here are Michigan. Good luck!!

Hi there are u by chance going to PSI? I also start Jan 4

Wow you're in a great location, you dont have to travel to far for school!

Ok, well as far as I know we have to pass Foundations Lab and Lecture to move onto clinicals, and the days are random. It depends when the clinical sites can fit us in, so they don't tell us a set date up front. We may have evenings or Saturday clinicals, it's all up in the air until a few weeks before we actually start clinicals. Where are you from in Michigan? Maybe we can get a car pool going. I'm from Pontiac. I will actually be there towards the end of the day during orientation, because I already attended, I have to come towards the end to resign my enrollment form, get fitted for uniforms and take my ID pic. So maybe I'll see you there:yeah:

Well class times are from 8-4pm m-fri. I attended orientation in september, so all i have to do is come back on dec 15 to get refitted for uniforms and re-enroll in classes. As far as clinicals they didnt really say how the times work out, but we wont do clinicals until the last 3 weeks of each quarter, we have to pass foundations lecture and lab before we can go on to clinicals. My name is Stacie btw, we'll be in classes together. I'm from Michigan, are u an ohio or michigan resident? Anymore questions feel free to PM or email me, using the links above (below user name).

I'm actually starting in Jan, I had a csection Oct 1 so I decided to wait, so I start Jan 4. I'm sooooo excited! How's everything going with you?

Hello just checking if there are any PSI students out there, especially any getting ready to start Oct 5th?! That's my start date and would like to meet some of my fellow classmates before starting classes:typing:)

Actually no the entrance test was really easy....you can go to atitesting.com and do the practice tests. However they're pretty much done seating the october day and evening class so I doubt you will get into that session especially if you haven't taken the test yet. My suggestion is take it now so that you can start the January session. However evening classes are only offered in OCtober. I took my test in Feb and had all my background checks and imuunizations done by march, and I didn't get in until october. So just a heads up, you're not going to get into the october, what they do is fill up the seats and if you didn't get into the first session they put you into the next one. Anymore questions please feel free to pm me
