Medical Terminology class online?

zoe92 · Jun 4, 2013

I took an online medical terminology. It was not required, but was very helpful, especially because it teaches you how to break down a lot of medical terms.

My school offers a lot of online classes & I find that to be very convenient, especially since I work. I took everything except microbiology, A & P 1, & A & P 2 online. I am a very organized student so I do well in the online setting. But I did not have a problem getting accepted into a nursing program with a large number of classes taken online.

Mine was online. Very helpful. I took it as a pre req for when I did the surgical technology program. Now about to start my nursing classes at another school and doing a BSN I don't understand how this class is not a pre requisite. Some of my classmates in A&P 2 and micro had no idea about prefixes and word roots so I'm sure it was a lot harder for them.

You guys basically just solidified my decision for me. I was afraid of taking it since it was online, and I don't have any experience with doing classes online. But I think it would be worth it.

I'm doing Medical Terminology online this summer so I can comp out of Med Term in nursing school in the fall Prior to this year, I had never taken an online class before, but now that I've had a few, I really like them! The professor I have for Med Term was my Intro to Health Professions instructor last fall. It was a hybrid class (part online, only meet once every few weeks in the classroom) and she's was a wonderful online instructor. Made me feel much better about taking a fully online class! Go for it!!!

I did it online and it was the easiest class I've ever taken. Really it was what you put into it and though I did learn some I'm mostly thankful for the book I can refer to.

I took it online. It was just a vocabulary class. All answers were in the book. Easy A.

I took my medical terminology class for college credit through my high school. It isnt required for most BSN programs I know.

I personally enjoy having online classes - they are usually my 'relax' classes. Although not everyone is like this. You've got to be very self motivated to do well in an online class, as learning all of the information is completely up to you.

Online classes are nice but they are really picky about people who cannot control themselves and forget deadlines often...

Good luck!

I took medical terminology in high school & it was very easy ... probably one of the easiest classes I've taken. I still wouldn't take it online just because I don't think I would do well in any full online class .. I would probably be the one forgetting deadlines like the previous post said .. but that's just me. I have taken 'hybrid' classes tho & I enjoyed them. If you think you can do well taking it online go for it!
