Kan Ed? Craig, did you look at that site? K-12? I am not sure where there? Colorado Comm College - yup, but I need course work first and they don't seem to offer the Phy and Anat (I'd been there before and was looking as CO is where I want to end up) but I'll call them... there are LOTS of 'online' educational facilities and many offer LVN to BS in N., 'type' programs but even the 'community colleges' don't offer much in course work to fill in gaps. Thanks

Right. Not. Local community colleges in the Los Angeles area are bereft. The conundrum is trying to bridge the AS for Nursing from either 'no' nursing (LVN or LPN, depending on state of residency) or 'coursework' needed type scenarios. Trying to pickup 'online' credits for AS in N for later BS in RN but finding almost no such path. Anyone knowing of an acceptable (read: accredited) online 'path', appreciate the coat tail. Thanks.

Thanks... need to update my credits for "later than ten years" for both Anatomy and Physiology. Can anyone suggest an online site for those classes 'specifically' for Assoc Deg of nursing? I most probably will challenge them but most of my college credits are older than ten years "but" I've had to maintain knowledge for current licensing and so will be able to do well in any med type classes. Just don't have time to spend on campus for the prelims... hope someone can advise me. Many thanks, Doc:up:

First post. I am not a nurse. I hope to start an accelerate RN program in Colorado in the spring - that is up in the air due to a broken ankle (so lately I've been hospitalized, same day, surgery) but looks promising. I am not young and have had several careers (I am a former law enforcement officer - 8+ years, also was a 'triage' type paramedic with law enforcement before there was so much training ; I have been a CA. licensed DC for some 23 years but stopped practicing following a severe MC crash (DUI Hit me) after which, and for the past 12 years, I've been in IT, both hands on and management) but want to get back to helping people and provide a more 'hands on' service. I am also wanting to 'be able to work almost anywhere' and the RN allows for such joy. The accelerated program is 2 year or so it sounds but I could finish the BS afterwards while working. I have a health background, regularly exercise in a variety of methods and so remain fit and strong... I am hoping to spend some time picking up suggestions and tips here and very much appreciate the forum. Thanks for any thoughts. Doc (yeah, that will have to go sometime, won't it)
