We are living overseas now and I really want to get my degree. Due to exchange rates, I can't afford to go to local colleges and I don't think their nursing degrees would be accepted in the states. Is it possible to get such a degree on line and how would I go about getting financial aid to help me with this? We can't afford it on our own. Thanks for your time!

You must think I am REALLY stupid! Of course, I will need to do clinicals. That is my question, I just assumed that this information was a given in this question. Any time you are doing a nursing degree, your clinicals are performed at a local hospital, etc. You may do some labs in school, but your real practice is by doing it. I don't see why you can't take the classes on line and still be able to do your clinicals at a local hospital monitered by the education system. Have any of you ever done online classes? There are great programs out there! So please if you know of such a program for nursing, please, politely give me your information instead of assuming that I'm an idiot. The more I do yahoo questions the more I see how rude and inconsiderate a lot of people are. Who's the ignorant one here? There are polite ways to word things. You don't just jump into nursing, either. I need to know what classes I can take now so that later, I can jump straight into the nursing.

You may get some general classes of nursing online, but nursing program need to be practiced in "real" campus. There is NO financial aid for international students for almost of schools in U.S, some schools offer based on need financial aid for international students but very rarely (for example, Harvard College).

I am in a similar situation and this is how I'm going about it. I volunteer at a local ambulance company in my town. First of all, because I am a volunteer they are paying for my EMT training in full and as soon as the next semester begins, they pay for my college education in any field I'm interested in. Since I am interested in nursing the emt classes are going to make it easier for me when it comes time to going to college (for free) for nursing. By the way, I only have to donate a min. of 6 hours per week to get all of these benefits.

I don't think you can get a nurse's degree online, if you can I doubt many places would take it. Nurses need hands on teaching.
Check the online colleges to see what they offer, but they can be expensive too.

Yes and no. You can do alot of classes on-line, but you can not do the clinical part on-line. You have to go to a place that is set up for the clinical trial part of it. The financial aid part, I know nothing about.
