• Speed – You want to start your nursing program as soon as possible, right? Look for accelerated programs where you can complete classes in ​five- to eight-weeks helping you meet those nursing school application deadlines.

• Quality – Academic quality and reputation matter. The prerequisite courses provide your foundation for nursing school. Find an accredited program that takes your preparation for nursing school seriously.

• Flexibility – While online nursing prerequisites allow for flexibility, you’ll want to look for structured online courses, with specific deadlines and due dates, to keep you on schedule. Doing a self-paced program can lead to procrastination.

• Cost – Taking classes online is usually a very affordable option as many colleges discount their traditional tuition costs for part-time students. Some colleges also offer deferred tuition which means you don’t have to pay up-front for your classes.

• Credit Transferability – The school that you are attending always has the final say on the content match from one program to another. So be sure to check with their Registrar's office. Remember, taking your nursing prerequisites at an accredited institution is a must.

• Know what you need – If you have already decided which school you will attend, make sure you know what their specific nursing school requirements are. If you are still deciding, look at your top choices and figure out what classes they require. That way when you take your online chemistry course, you will also be investing in nursing school.
