Anatomy and physiology too old!!

[ledzep97, MSN, RN]

Hello!!

I am hoping someone can help me with this...

I want to apply to IUPUI for the fall but my anatomy and phsiology from Purdue are too old (I took them 8 years ago and they have a 7 year rule). Besides trying to take the CLEP/DANTES test, is there a way to prove I still have the knowledge through my past career? Has anyone had this experience and what did you do?

Thanks for your help!!:bowingpur

Talk to admissions, if they can't give you a break, talk to the next higher up and so on. I took my ANP1 17 years ago and Ivy Tech accepted it because I have been an LPN for 18 years. ( they usually have a 5 year rule).

Be persistant! A squeeky wheel makes noise!

Good luck!

I like your thinking!!! I will try to see who I can talk to over there. It just seems so dumb, one year off! Thanks for the advice!!

Anyone else have any thoughts?

OH, FYI, taking the DANTES/CLEP tests for IUPUI do hinder your GPA!! I asked someone today. Good thing I didn't take them....

I would write a letter to the dean and include a resume with professional references that could substantiate your knowledge/background. These time limit rules are silly. I personally think it comes down to $$$. Since when do college degree's, grades earned, and professional experience expire?

And how much have anatomy and physiology (the real stuff, not the academic subjects) changed in the last eight years. Last time I looked, the stuff was all in the same place.
