Does anyone know a good pharmacology class online that might transfer in to my BSN program? Also, money is somewhat of a factor.

I wouldn't recommend taking Pharm online. It's A LOT of information, and I'm not sure that I personally would want to risk not knowing that information well for NCLEX purposes. It's a tough class, and I'm a self directed learner, and there's no way I would have passed without having gone to lectures to get face to face instruction and clarification on things.
The thing is, there's no face-to-face pharm in my local area except maybe at the state univerity. Pharm is not a requirement for my program (sadly) but I want to take it to pass the NCLEX, however I don't want to pay the outrageous tuition for it at my school. Any recommendations?
None. It was a requirement in my program so I took it as part of the curriculum. So, I never looked into taking it otherwise. What area are you in? Have you tried googling for online pharmacology courses?

Just wanted to comment on the pharm online thing. We had 2 semesters of Pharm in my school. The second semester they wanted to try it online to see how it went. It wasn't a problem at all taking it online. In fact I rather enjoyed it. We did do the exams in person, but all the lectures and any discussions were done online.
