Online labs prerequisites for California license

Published

I have a question regarding the prerequisite courses I took on portage learning. I am planning to license as a registered nurse in California, and wanted to know if online labs (A&P1, Microbiology) from portage learning courses satisfy the requirements the Board of Nursing in California asks for. I'm afraid if BRN doesn't accept my prerequisite courses, I'll have to take the courses again?!

I cannot tell you if they will accept Portage or not. What I can tell you from my experience back when I was applying for nursing schools in California is many nursing schools did not accept Portage or Straighterline courses for prerequisites.  Now I'm sure someone will come on here and state "but mine were accepted in California for school" and that's dandy and they lucked out.  Perhaps acceptance towards school and acceptance toward licensing are two different things?

Your best bet is to contact the CA BON directly.
