I have been surfing this site for some time and have seen many helpful responses about taking prereqs online, i.e. Micro (AHHHHHH!). However every school around me that I am applying to requires a FIVE unit micro course, and I haven't found a school that offers micro online that is more than 4 units. Anybody know of any? Thanks so much in advance. :redpinkhe

They are a little pricey for out of state though Just FYI...check with the nursing program of your choice before doing this because many schools will NOT accept microbiology without a lab.....my school would not accept online microbiology.....

I know ours was 3 for theory class and 2 for lab = 5. I'm not sure you'll find anyway around that one. Also I think laboratory is an important part for microbiology as once you are in the field it's important to be familar with how things are performed.
