Thank you Lesia321 for input! I know...it ultimately gets down to getting the guts to ask the schools of interest if they accept the online lab or not... I'm just so nervous about using online courses...I haven't gathered the courage to ask yet, but I feel like that about 90% of the colleges that I am interested in are probably going to say NO to online labs...... So I just wanted to know how it actually is from people who have/are going through gathering prereqs online like me!

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly! The link was very informative. Just one more question though, if you bother to look back at this thread again. You said that "they will ask you to choose a program", does that mean that I need to apply into one of their programs in order to take one online class? I'm terribly sorry if I sound stupid, but the prerequisite classes I took online only required registration directly into the online courses, and not really having to choose a program or anything to take it.

I know I'm probably asking enough questions, but I was wondering if there were people like me who have/had to retake their courses online for the prereqs. Have any of you had issues whether colleges did not accept the online courses? I'm looking at schools mainly in the northeast region (CT, NY, etc.) and I would appreciate any information on that as well.

I appreciate your input, Lesia321! I've sent an email to their advisors for advice on which chemistry courses seem to be appropriate to satisfy nursing prereqs.

Thank you, liane90, for your input! I tried looking around their website from the link you gave me, but I seem to have difficulty finding online classes. Is it possible to take the individual course online?

Thank you so much for your input NurseCalamity! I will check into it!

Hi, this is my first time to post (although I have been browsing the site for any advice), and am desperately looking for any sort of advice or information! I am working towards entering schools/colleges/universities (mainly in the northeast) that offer second degree or accelerated nursing programs. All of the colleges I looked into required prereqs, but since I currently live in Japan, I need to take classes online. I graduated five years ago with a BS...unfortunately, (I want to slap myself over 500 times for this) I got a C- in the second half of my general chemistry classes (the first half and the lab portions were in the B's or B-'s), and many schools seem to require general chemistry with lab, so I need to retake general chemistry with lab online, along with other courses that need to be taken with five years of admission (for some schools I've looked into). I have been taking my online prereqs through John Hopkins University school of nursing, but apparently since they do not require chemistry as a prereq, they do not have any online chemistry courses available. What accredited schools/colleges have online general chemistry with lab? Are they doable outside of the US? Have you had any issues transferring the credits for prerequisites at certain schools? I've been looking into: www.Edukan.org SUNY Learning Network (State University of NY online) ccconline.org (Colorado cc's online) Trident university (apparently has chemistry with lab especially for nursing and allied health) Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan Rio Salado Community College Gwynedd Mercy University | Online Health Science Prerequisites I will truly appreciate any input!
