“Online learning has come a long way,” said Jean Pickus, RN, MSN, regional director of academic affairs and program chair for nursing and health care programs at the University of Phoenix. Barry Williams, Special Sandra Scott, a nurse in the oncology unit at WellStar Cobb Hospital in Austell, is studying for her bachelor’s degree through the University of Phoenix. “When I first started teaching nursing programs online 15 years ago, there was no high-speed Internet service; it was all dial-up,” she said. “Students couldn’t travel because no hotel had Internet access. “Now people can take classes anywhere, and most colleges and universities offer some component of their education online. It’s no longer the exception, but the rule.”
