Hello everyone!

I am teaching in a BSN program. Our first year students are really struggling with the pathophysiology course. We have integrated pharmacology with the patho and the students get a lot of information. I think that there is some overload going on, but the grades on exams are pretty low. This has been the case since the beginning of the program (three years ago). Anyone else having the same problems? Any suggestions? We aren using Medical Surgical Nursing by Lewis and Pharmacology for Nurses by Adams.

where in the program does this course fall? Have they had micro & other pre-reqs already? Patho and Pharmacy together seems a bit much. I don't have any advice, but I can see that those two together would be a lot for most students. Have you considered nurse preceptors who can tutor for credit on their clinical ladder or in exchange for financial credit towards a course?

Hi,
Not sure if you can help me, but I saw you stated you teach a patho class and I wanted to know if I could ask you a few questions? I have to write a paper on any pathophysiology topic I want and wondering if I did something like HPV would this work? Also how woould I set up the paper? If you could let me know or help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
