Really need advice!

Published

College Network Rep coming next week. I really need to know from you guys if this is a good thing to pursue. I am nervous but I don't want to get involved with a scam. I am an LPN and want my RN. If I can get the BSN then great. But I have lots of questions. Any advice would be be appreciated.

Hi, I signed on with TCN in Jan. 07, here it is April 08 and I have only completed Ethics Theory and Developmental Psych for my LPN to RN. I think it is a good program if you are a self study-type of person. I did OK with the above mentioned classes, but once I started Biology, A&P and Micro I threw in the towel. I thought about taking the Sciences elsewhere and transferring them into Excelsior, but that would take a year plus. A&P is a 2 semester class at my local Community College. So, I enrolled into a Nursing College in my city, and will be done with the whole thing Spring 2010. I am chalking it up to a loss, the 6,000.00 I am still financing thru TCN. My work now as an LPN will cover some tuition costs of my new school, then finacial aid, so hopefully I will not be out much. Bottom Line: TCN is good for those who can breeze thru study modules and test out. I know lots of people who have done it this way. You will find their success stories online. For me it did not work. You live, you learn. The easy way out was not so easy for me. Good luck. BTW- there are lots of negative opinions about TCN on this site. Like I said, it does work for some nurses, but NOT all. Cheers.:cheers:

Hello Fancy Face. Thanks for thinking of me. I have been doing a lot of thinking lately on this subject. Thank you for your honesty. It sounds "good" to be able to get your RN this way and it does almost sound "easy" even though we all know that it is never easy to get something worthwhile. Just think of how hard it was to get our LPN. That was one tough year. But anyway, right now I am taking A&P at community college and struggling to maintain a B. I have decided to stick things out at my local college until next spring and see how I rate on the NET test. If I get accepted, I will continue through them, if not, I need to re-strategize!! So thanks for the offer of your books. See if someone else can use them. Too bad about your loss, though.:typing

Yeah, no problem. I will try and post them on Ebay. Maybe I can get some of my money back! Good Luck!:nurse:
