Question about Online Classes

Published

What is the best to try or to look at and request more information. A part of me is considering trying that only because I'd be able to take my time to study and study enough until I feel ready to go ahead and take the test.

I came across Rue, and it sounded exactly what I was looking for, but then it said that you HAD to enroll with Excelsior college and what frightens me is that whole you have to perform all your skills at once in front of someone and it's pass/fail only.

Can anyone give advice about online colleges? Do they all work that way, and what are some of the most cost effective?

Thanks in advance, and for the support,

As I understand it, Rue is only an educational aide - not an educational institution. They provide study materials for self study programs...like the one offered by Excelsior College.

Hey Annie,

I attend Valencia Community College in Orlando, Fl and our program is online except for clinicals. I love this program because it allows me to work, go to school and still have somewhat of a family life because I can study when I want to. In the begining of the program you do all of your skills in the nursing arts lab, some with peer tutors (upper nursing students) and some with the instructors. If you want more info go to http://www.valenciacc.edu

Good luck in your pursuit, just becareful with Rue becuse it is extremely expensive and you can do the exact same thing directly through Excelsior College. Also some states are not excepting Excelsior Grads.
