Hi Karla,
Thanks for reading our blog posts.
Yes, it is often possible to complete your prerequisite courses online. My best advice is to decide which college you are interested in attending and contact them to find out more details about how to get started. Quite a few schools offer online programs in various areas of health care. By contacting the college, you can ask specific questions that will help you to make your decision.
