LVNfairy,

The A&P I, A&P II and Microbiology all transfer to other nursing programs. I am in their Microbiology Online course right now and over half of the students in the course are nursing students from other states.

They are a regionally acredited college whose courses are just about acccepted by everyone. The transcript does not say if it is an online course or a face-to-face course so use a "don't ask don't tell strategy" and you should be fine. Both the online and face-to-face courses are taught to the same syllabus and both include a laboratory. The vast majority of colleges that teach online courses do not list that it is an online course on their transcripts.

Here is a link to their A&P online courses:

You can take them all this summer and get them out of the way for the Fall semester.

Good Luck!

It probably depends on the individual school's policy. I've seen school policies that state they don't accept online classes for credit. How do you do the lab portion?

BTW the ocean website says that the chem class has 25/25 students (which I thought ment full), but it says open under it. Do you know what that means?

I don't see how you can get away with the "lab" portion of an online course. The school I'm looking at requires A&P 1 and 2 WITH a lab...I don't think this would fly.

That was my question, which was never answered. I'm not sure how you have a class with a required lab without a lab. If I was interviewing this person for nursing school, the first thing I would ask is how what they did for their lab requirement in the online course.

Im not quite sure either. Why don't you guys take a look at the website address the person posted above for the the ocean college online course and take a look. It says they send you a Lab kit to your house, if you have any other questions, Im sure you can call the school and ask.
