The college network cannot grant a degree - it is a publishing company only.  Don' t waste your money when you can go directly through Excelsior or ISU and save the $5000 that TCN charges for their worthless books.  Seriously.  Go directly through the college - you'll be paying them anyway.

I've heard one program that is supposed to be very good, because they have RN's that do the teaching, and you can go to their campuses or do the classes virtually online. tt's called Achieve Test Prep, you may want to check them out. It's http://www.achievetestprep.com/forum is their forum area to see what people are saying. Good luck!
