Quite frequently, those who undertake online study, for example, those who are taking a Nursing School Degree online, will be operating under circumstances where they are also working full or part-time in addition to their studies. In situations like this, it is always good to have some, if not a lot, of the pre-requisite courses out of the way already.
What pre-requisites do you need?
There are a few pre-requisite courses required from anyone who is interested in getting their nursing degree online. For instance, most schools require that students take the SAT or ACT exams, and have maintained a grade point average of 2.0-3.25. These pre-requisites may vary from school to school. Those students who are earning their nursing school degree online are also required to have taken 4 years of high school math and science (including geometry and algebra II for math, and biology and chemistry for science), 4 years of high school english, and 2 years of a high school foreign language.
What types of courses should you expect to take?
If you are starting a nursing degree online, there are a few courses that you should expect to have to take. Typically, course-types will range from anatomy and physiology to psychology and communication. Examples of specific courses on offer and that are expected parts of a nursing school program are such courses as Physical and Emotional Illness, Sociology, Microbiology and Child and Adolescent Developmental Psychology. Other courses to expect when taking a nursing school degree online include general psychology and fundamentals of nursing.

Very interesting information. I will start college for nursing in the fall.
There will always be people trying to get into the nursing field for the wrong reasons. Most are quickly weeded out due to nursing school itself! its not easy it is a lot of work and people tend to forget that.
really nice information i plan to study that and have it in mind
Very good information because its nice to know a general idea of what is expected for preparation. =]
I have not thought about getting an online degree, but it is good to know how is needeed to do.
It takes a real dedicated person to advance in the medical field. Both my sisters are in it and it is very demanding. My interest are in the IT field which is another demanding career to pursue.
I am in nursing school now and pharmacology and medical nutrition courses will def. help you prepare for nursing school!
coolz
Good information
Good basic information. However, it should be explained that online nursing classes do not provide the hands on experience that a university may offer. You may need to find an internship to supplement the online course.
Hello,
Good info. I thought about going nursing until I found out the turn around in the field. Articles should not only go over what is available, but also what is going on with it in the world. Turn around from what I have researched is 6 months.
There are also way to many people trying to get into the field because of the economy instead of getting in because they really want to do it.
I’m thinking about becoming a nurse. Good information.
