Nope, this was the first time, so I looked at the link. They only seem to offer very basic courses, a chemistry and bio that serve as a pre-req for an entry level college course, several math-algebra courses and an intro to psych course. Of course every program is different, but many want you to come in with "college level" courses so if these are only going to serve as pre-reqs to those, you are still going to have to find a local community college or other institution to pick up those before you apply. So then you have to make sure the CC wants to accept them as well as the nursing school if its different. I wouldn't bother, but thats just me. YMMV. Good luck on your journey.

According to their FAQs, their courses satisfy the high school science and math requirements that some schools require. They do not count for college credit.

Q. Do I get college credit for NursingABC courses?

A. The courses are fully accredited by the Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools and satisfy the entrance requirements of health profession schools where high-school courses are accepted as prerequisites. They were designed specifically to meet high school level math and science prerequisites for applicants to health profession schools, and do not earn college credit.

I took the NursingABC chemistry course last year as my prereq. It is only considered a high school credit. I was able to finish the course in several weeks in order for me to get my ducks in a row to apply to nursing school. I am now about to finish my second semester at SRMC.
