Have any of you earned your nursing degree online, and if so, from where?
I´m a 1996 graduate from Indiana University, and live in Germany, but have always been interested in earning a nursing degree.

In the US, it is very difficult, if not downright impossible, to earn your initial degree in nursing which makes you eligible for state licensure in an entirely online program. Most states require programs to have classroom time, and they definitely require a certain number of hours spent in clinicals. Living in Germany, US programs that are offered online will be of little or no use to you. Are you staying in Germany? Look into university programs offered there. And perhaps the German schools are structured differently. If you are planning on returning to the US at some point you should definitely ask how a German nursing education is applicable for transfer to the US. If you are returning to the US sooner rather than later, look into programs here that are labeled as "accelerated BSN" programs, they are for people like you who hold a previous bachelor's degree in another field and want to earn your bachelor's in nursing. Usually there might be a few pre-reqs to take (which might be able to be done online) and then you take all the nursing courses required for the degree. It usually takes about 1.5-2 years to complete if you go full time. Good luck.

Question for Germans or people living in germany
Question for Germans or people living in germany?
I am interested in moving to Germany and working as a nurse, obviously I will have to speak German fluently and apply for a work visa, ect... My question is what is the job market like over there? Would I as a foreigner even stand a chance getting a job?

Nurses are very much needed but be aware the money you get for the job really is hard to live on. I join the website of the German Arbeitsagentur Nurse in German is Krankenschwester in case you need the word. That said depending on your citizenship the visa can be a problem too.

Okay, so i am planning on going to nursing school in 2 years. I am taking the pre reqs now.?
I am taking Biology and Math (algebra). I am originally from germany and i am having a hard time understanding basic highschool biology. We are only on chapter 3 but i am already lost. If i am already having problems now, how am i going to understand the harder classes like Anatomy and the actual nursing classes. Should i look for a different career?

Talk to your instructors NOW so they can help before you get in any deeper. I would suggest a tutor and a study group as the additional instruction and sharing ideas can really help to clarify the information. Don't give up until you have genuinely exhausted the methods available to help you learn the subject.

Talk to your instructors and check into getting a tutor. Also look into a study group with your classmates. If Nursing is in your heart, keep trying and studying. it's hard work to get through Nursing school, but once it's done....it's awesome! Good luck.

I'm from Poland, and I have been here for 15 years in United States. I use to speak German too... I lived and went to German High School. . . but listen closely I am a graduate of Ohio State University in major in Comparative Literature, and currently I finished my first year in nursing school. I am graduating from nursing school in summer of 2008, and let me tell you all this stuff is really kicking my butt, anatomy is basically problem solving and memorization, even if you don't do well your first time around, if you take it again, you will understand it at some point. Nursing is not only science but you will be challenged to the bottom of it. Its not to do well in high school. take at a local community college during the summer where you can concentrate on one class that prepares you to think like math and science. Chapter 3 is confusing? Grab partners people from your class, stay after class, ask million and a half questions, get into study groups, find tutors etc.. be involved in each class... and most importantly listen in class...I struggled with that concept half of my life
