You can take most of your general education classes at Columbia College http://www.ccis.edu/online/index.asp , for $205 and hour, most community colleges have the a&p, and micro online. This college has a good selection of humanities, sociology and psychology classes if you need them for a bachelors degree.

judith04, congrats on doing so well in your prereqs. I have completed my prereqs too, and passed the prenursing exam in the 96th percentile. Were you assigned a book to use for this exam? If not, you can go online and purchase one. I can't remember the name of the one I used, but the author is Mary McDonald, and the cost was under $25. It was helpful. Please keep me posted.

If you have iTunes, click on i Tunes U and then click on UC Berkley. They have podcasted the lecutures for the Fall 2006 Human Anatomy class. I have been listening to this in conjuction with my anatomy class that I am taking and have found it to be very helpful. I am a new member to NursingLink and I am finding this to be a good resource. I am starting my nursing classes next fall.
