Online Nursing Prerequisites
Why Take Online Nursing Prerequisite Courses?
GMercyU’s Accelerated BSN Program or Weekend BSN Program offers you a path towards a fulfilling career in nursing. However, if your bachelor’s program lacked a strong science component, or if you graduated a number of years ago, you may be worried that you lack the science background to succeed. Thanks to the laboratory component many of these classes require, you may also be concerned about finding the time to make up the necessary knowledge without disrupting your schedule.
We have a solution: our convenient health science prerequisite courses. Offered exclusively online with in-home laboratory experiences, these five- to eight-week online nursing prerequisite classes feature intensive instruction led by our nursing instructors. Their guidance will help you catch up on critical scientific principles and understand the application of scientific theory to nursing practice.
You’ll also gain hands-on experience with home laboratory kits that are included in the cost of your courses. At $350 per credit hour, our nursing degree prerequisites online offer you a flexible, affordable way to begin your nursing education.
