Look at your state's community colleges, colleges and universities. Don't bother with these diploma mills. Go directly to the institutions websites. Your in-state tuition will be much more affordable. You won't be able to do all of your nursing degree on-line. At some point, you will have to do practicles where you come into contact with real patients under the guidance of a nursing professor at Nursing universities. You may be able to get some of the intro courses on biology and chemistry out of the way online. You might also be able to find a course where the labs are given on the weekends to make it easier for you to attend. Please post what state you live in, so that better advice can be provided.
