Online biochemistry course?

Published

Hi all,

I am currently an Ensign in the Navy Nurse Corps interested in pursuing nurse anesthesia, either military and civilian (really whichever one lets me in).

I read that many nurse anesthesia schools require a college level biochemistry course (specifically the Navy program at USUHS). Does anyone have any idea where I can take a good biochem course online? Will TA pay for it?

Anybody go the military anesthesia route and what were your experiences?

I think all of my Navy classmates took the online New England Biochem course. http://faculty.une.edu/com/courses/bionut/distbio/distbiohome.html

Since you are in the Navy I would suggest shadowing a Navy CRNA and ask them about their experiences, if you have specific questions you can PM me. I graduate from USUHS/USU next month.

USUHS accepts the Online Biochem at the University of New England. I don't know if TA will pay for it, and it is a bit expensive, but if ya need it to get in...can't really put a price on that, right?

There is such a course offered at University of New England:

I will be taking this class next month. Does anyone have any tips on the course and how to get an A? Was it extremely difficult?

A friend of mine took the class and finished a few months ago, she said it was a pretty tough class but well worth the effort. She put in 2 hours of study a night (seriously) for the entire course and came out with a B.
