I am planning to take online courses as well but this will be very difficult especially for this coming winter. I talked to the advising Center and she told me Health Care courses are only for on campus. So if you like, i can help you. Do you like to study in Seattle, WA? I have a source. This person can help you. Firstly, if you like, you can talk to her on the Phone, Tell her that if there is any other health care for online course. Hope this helps

An online degree can be a great option. You can put your time intao study instead of driving back and forth. The biggest thing you want to watch out for is to make sure you are going to a quality school. The best way I know to do that is to call up a few of the big, well established state universities in your state and ask if you can transfer credits from the associate program you are considering to them. If they say no, then you probably should look at a different school. Also another problem that a lot of people run into with online degrees is licensing. There are some schools out there that offer an accredited online degree, but the degree doesn't prepare you to sit for the licensing test. So lets say you get a degree as a nurse, but you aren't allowed to take the test to be licensed as a nurse because your degree isn't certified for that. I don't think you'll run into something like that with medical records, but it is still something to watch for. Make sure you will be prepared enough that someone could actually employ you. I'd suggest trying to get an interview with the human resources director of a nearby hospital. Lay out the plan of what you are planning to do for education and ask if they would hire someone with those qualifications. I know that the HR director of our local hospital would happily take the time to help you. They have to look so hard for good employees that they would be happy to take 30 minutes to give someone some advice on how to prepare to work in health care. They can give you a good idea of how your degree will be viewed by someone who will actually do the hiring. Good luck in your education and career!
