TypI am a register CT Tech , a paramedic and am taking online courses to receive a degree in Registered Nursing. The course is varied and very in depth. What I am learning now, I feel , is just as educational as a course taken at a university. The content is the same and many people that are enlisted cannot go to a college due to time limits. I also feel that the students have to apply themselves and be ready to apply this knowledge to the nursing practice as well as college bound students do. In some ways , I feel , we are more prepared to do this. I have come in contact with nurses that are afraid of patient contact amd the skills they will have to use for patient care. That comes with experience only. If you deny the online school because of some illbegotten idea that online doesn't prepare a student as well as college, I am here to let you know that this is not true.   Thank you , Peg  Cavnah
