I agree. I am starting the actual nursing part of my program this summer, and already we are having to do a lot more than I am really comfortable with online. This isn't a model that can really continue.

So far, Congress has been pretty responsive to these challenges and passed legislation to stop reductions in benefits. However more legislation will likely be needed, so join a string VSO if you haven't already and be engaged.

In my experience, our school has labeled the classes as "remote" as opposed to "online", which I think is probably the best quick fix solution. We still have a couple of labs that we have to do in person, which meets the residency requirement, but not all degrees require labs.
