Hello- I was recently accepted into Pellissippi's summer bridge program. I have asked the representatives that ETSU has sent to Pellissippi regarding their dual enrollment, but NONE of ETSU's reps seem to know a thing about it. They took my email address and promised me answers from "their nursing department", but of course I have heard nothing. My end game is to travel, so ideally I would like to have a BSN. Has anyone here enrolled with PSTCC or RSCC and dual enrolled with ETSU? I am curious about tuition and layout of their program. If not, what ASN-BSN would you recommend, and can any of them be started while I'm finishing my ASN at PSTCC? (Graduation date of May 2020)

Thank you for the information! That was very informative. That cleared up quite a bit for me, the only thing I am still wondering is About the Uexcel texts. Are they like clep exams? If I were to enroll in them would it only be an exam vs an 8 week course? I am highly motivated and organized, and have had these courses before, I only need to retake them because they're over 5 years old. I'd love to be able to just take the exams if it's at all possible.

Hello everyone! Ive been looking through the forum and haven't seen a lot of updated info on the medic / LPN to RN bridge course. I am curious about the Pre-reqs, I have all of them from a previous Bachelors, but my sciences are all over 5 years old. I am unclear about how the CLEP and straighter line courses can be used. I am having to pay out of pocket, so I'm trying to find the most cost effective route. So if anyone has recently enrolled could you kindly walk a slow medic through the cost breakdown? I'm not sure I'm reading things right, what I found is roughly 300$ a credit hr- so do that in fact mean that every class I will need will cost me 1200? Are the nursing classes a different cost? I also would love some input on difficulty, are the exams reasonable? Microbiology was difficult for me at my brick and mortar school ( my professor had a lot to do with that)....and what-if any- math is required / accepted. *disclamier, this is my first time posting, and I'm still very new to navigating this forum. If my questions have recently been answered with updated info (2016) please help in directing me to the thread. Thanks in advance!
