Kimily or anyone else doig ISU-

I know Speech is a prereq. Do you really get to do Speech online? I took this class before and got a D. I didn't retake it (a D is still considered passing-barely) because it was just a general ed requirement for the degree (Sociology not nursing) and not actually a part of my major as it is for the nursing programs in CA. I swear if I have to take this class over again (in a classroom) I will need some anti-anxiety meds.

Hi,

I am also taking prereq for ISU. I am taking American History 1 and will test out next Thursday using CLEP. Sociology was my first CLEP and it is a good one to start with and you will do fine!

Sensoria,

I dont have to take Speech BUT can understand what you are saying. I am sure I will come across some that make me feel just like you are now. Good Luck to you.

Brenda, I appreciate your response. Good Luck with AH1, let me know how it goes. Are you finding that some of your co-workers think your crazy , when you tell them your going to be enrolled in Indiana State University and get a BSN online? I live in Fl and most of the response I am getting is like AH H Honey, what line did they feed you? Its funny. Anyway..just wandering what kind of response your getting.

Take care.

Hi Kimly! I would like to talk to you more about what you are doing. I also am an LPN in Fla and a single mom and really want to get started online for my RN. I am just SO CONFUSED with all the info out there, that I honestly don't know where to start and don't have the time or money to get ripped off on any unecessary books or courses. If you are willing to email me here is my email [email protected]

or if you want to talk to me here that will be fine too. Thanks and hope to talk to you soon!

Hi,
I am using the publishing company TCN to get through my prerequisites and then will enrolling in the Indiana State University Online BSN Program.
I am very excited about this opportunity and even though I have along way to go, I know I will get there. Best part is...NO CPNE!
You do your clinicals locally with preceptors and I love that!
ANyway...Just wandering if anyone else is doing this program and how far you are? I need all the support I can get. Im taking Sociology now...How is the CLEP for this?
Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Lets use the STICKY they have created for us on the top of the Distance Learning screen. It will keep all of our info in one spot!

Thanks. Brenda
