Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am already an LVN and am taking online courses through the college network (which is awful)....Ive now decided that I would like to go onto be a CRNA after my RN and BSN is done of course, but am i going to have to retake all these classes at a regular university??? for instance the microbiology???? Can anyone help? im so stressed! If I am able to take online courses that do count, does anybody know any better accredited courses that dont suck as bad as the college networks do????:confused::confused::confused:

I too would like to continue on to CRNA school in the future and have taken online classes. I asked different Universities if they would accept schools with fully online class and they all did as long as the school was accredited.

Also, I do know that online classes DO NOT state "ONLINE" on your transcripts. They just say where you took the class, credits, and of course, your grade. As long as the school is an accredited college, I think it would be okay. Just my :twocents:.

Oh no, don't say that. I'm doing the RN to BSN program online through Middle Tennessee State University. I am having to do the same work, pay the same amount of money...gee whiz.

Really. Thas unusual from what I have heard. I have been to several community colleges in Colorado, Kansas, San Diego, and Orange County, and NONE of the Official Transcripts stated that they were online classes.

To make sure they didn't say "online" before I took the classes I called several admissions personnel from universities in California and Colorado and I ws told by every one of them that it does not.

Really what it must come down to is some schools do things differently than others. It would be best to call and ask for yourself the schools you are interested in applying to as well as the college you are currently attending if it states "online" anywhere on Official transcripts.

Best of luck!
