  • Answer:

    You cannot get an Associates degree online. You cannot become a nurse online.Many of the courses you have listed have to be done in person. Doing labs, learning hands on skills and gaining clinical experience all need to be done in person.Any program that claims you can get an Associates completely online is a scam and likely not accredited.

You can't get an online AA that covers nearly enough of the pre-requisites. For one thing, you need your basic science classes to have labs, which is impossible with an online school.

Go talk to the admissions department at the school you plan to attend for nursing. Those are the people who should give you advice.
