I posted this in the General Student Nursing board and got NO responses!!!

I'll try it here...

Anyone in patho in the fall? How's it going?

My advisor suggested I take patho if I dont get into the nursing program in the Spring. Your post has made me feel better because I know how in debth the subject can go. It isnt a pre-requisite, but I still think it would help me a lot when I do get in. I may take that in the fall if I dont get in. Microbiology will be my Spring class because it is a prerequisite for the RN program.

Hi!

I'm new to the site and I'm a pre-nursing student. I'm taking patho this semester and it's really not that bad...right now. We'll just have to wait it out & see how it goes. This is the last class I have to take before I'm notified as to whether or not I'm accepted into the nursing program.

Hi, Texas. I have to take Patho as a pre-req for the RN-BSN bridge. However, the course I am looking at requires A&P 1, A&P 2, Chem, and Microbiology as preqs. I too will be taking it in the Spring if I do not get into the ADN program. Otherwise, I will spend my summer (after my first semester in nursing school) taking it to keep from having my brain rot. :wink2:

Chemistry is the only one I havent taken. Maybe that would be better first. If I dont get in, maybe Chemistry next Fall and patho the next Spring. Either way, I know it will work out for the best, but I really want to get in. :nurse:

Hey folks,

We had our first exam (out of four) last week. It covered cell physiology, cancer, fluids and electrolytes (pesky metabolic/resp alkalosis/acidosis problems) and stress. I just found out that I got a 94%! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's see if I can keep this up :rolleyes: ! Wish me luck. Good luck to all of you, too!

UPDATE: I got 100% with the bonus questions!!!

Good job! Did the study guides and other resources posted help?

Well folks,

Exam number two down this week. It covered the immune system, hematogical, and cardiovascular - and all of the altered functions and diseases. I think that I did pretty well, but I need to put in more study time. I'll keep you posted.

All in all, the class is actually easier than I thought. Even though there is a great deal of information, it's connects everything together. It really motivates me to move forward with a career in medicine (Let's see how I feel after this test grade comes out).

How is it going for everyone else?
