I am wanting to go back to school to become a nurse. ?

Question

I know I need to take the pre requisite courses is it possible to do all of these classes online. Anyone have any experience doing this?

Answer 1

Most prerequisites such as math, English, history, etc. can all be taken online. Some nursing classes that only require rote memorization will probably be offered as well.

Answer 2

Most public universities and especially community colleges have online and cable courses.  I know here in Hawaii there are 30 courses for nursing available, and they are working on more distance-learning.  Check with your CCs and main university.  These programs are accredited and of course much cheaper than for-profit colleges.  There are some clinical requirements that must be done, but mostly the pre-reqs and even the nursing academic courses can be done online.  

Some nursing schools are requiring that applicants get a CNA license, which is a good idea since the first semester of nursing school covers the same material (lifting and moving patients, safey and hygiene procedures, medical terminology etc.).  

Answer 3

In my area, you can take all prerequisites online, except speech and you have to come for labs in A&P.
