Microbiology for California license

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I need microbiology with a lab to get my California license. Can anyone recommend an online course with lab that was accepted by the California nursing board?

How do you do a lab online,

Don't you really mean you need microbiology with lab as a prerequisite.

Sorta surprised, apparently if you are a RN in like New Mexico, & wish to endorse to California, a prerequisite among others is microbiology with lab, even if you lis. In a state that did not require in......

a little strange anger as NCLEX is national test......

Best wishes

I doubt there is a 100% online microbio course that the CA BRN will accept. As another poster said, how can you do a micro lab online?

You will probably need to go to a local community college and take the course there. Perhaps they have a hybrid course where you can do most of the coursework online and just come in for the labs.

Some states apparently don't require microbio in their nursing school programs and/or to get licensure there. A lot of foreign programs don't either.

It's a good thing I was a biology major, 3.5yrs. Before going to nursing school.

I guess that is why I never noticed if Texas had such requirement.

I did use the all nurses search engine, while it was a bit difficult to find, some prior posters, did a hybrid course with a community college.
