At our local CC, there's a move to science classes using online labs (computer simulations) due to the cost and liability of maintaining a lab. I did it, it was hard, I had to do "virtual" cultures, "cook" them, apply reagents to determine what the unknown "bug" was.
And if I'd tried it in a regular lab, I'd probably have cooked up a plague... *grin*
How do you get a LAB online? Computer virus? :) I'm not sure such a thing is possible. There were a lot of microscopes, bunsen burners, glass slides, petri dishes, etc in my micro class...
You have to buy a lab kit and a microscope. Figure three or four hundred bucks for those plus your book plus course fees and tuition. Check out this link.

WOW. Skimping on everything (IMO :) ). But good to know. I have no doubt it was hard. Next, (or maybe already is) there will be virtual clinicals and then the new grads will wonder why being just out of school and having to deal with real people is so hard. Sad.
And once again, fear of lawsuits effects how nursing "happens".
