Hybrid Class

I wouldn't worry about it...I believe the majority of nursing schools that do have a problem with the online format are most concerned that the labs and/or exams are done on-campus, which you're doing. There are quite a few of us here on the forum taking online science classes and I have yet to run into someone who is at a school that would not accept the credits. I really think you will be fine.

Many schools these days teach a variety of courses in hybrid format, so your school will probably know what that means when they see your note on the online application. I wouldn't include a note with your transcript because, to my knowledge, transcripts don't list whether a class was in traditional/online/hybrid format anyway. However, if there is any doubt in your mind, give the school a call and ask! That way, you can either get peace of mind that everything is okay and/or have the opportunity to clarify.

Good Luck!

One of the school's applications online asks whether a class was online or traditional. Thankfully I have only seen this in one application. I don't like drop down menus as this application has since you can't clarify what you mean when you select a or b. (also what does the NC part of your name mean?) Thanks.

Yep, I can see your dilemma...however, you said you explained in the notes that it's a hybrid class, right? I still feel that would sufficiently explain the class format and will probably be acceptable, but you never know...I'd definitely follow up with a phone call instead of a note with the transcript.

How far are you with your pre-nursing courses? When are you hoping to get into the nursing program? ASN or BSN? Best wishes to you as you work towards your goals!

I have a BA and am applying to 2nd degree bachelor programs. Microbiology is the last class I need for most of the schools I am looking to apply to (a few seem to have their own special prereqs even if you already have a BA like intro to sociology or religion so I may take one this Fall). I am planning to apply this Fall but need to decide if I want to do a 12-14 month program or the 24 month program-both have their pluses and minuses.

I would just call that school and ask their advice. Tell them that you are taking a hybrid course and their online application doesn't give you an option for that and what do they recommend you do about it. As NC_RN_2B stated, I think most of the issues they have are whether there was a lab component to the course and clearly for you, there is. Best of luck to you. I've seen hybrid courses offered at one of our 2-year colleges and it sounds like a great compromise for people.

Definately call and clarify it but I would think you could call it traditional because they are probably most concerned with the lab part and that was done in traditional style.
