Pathophysiology as a pre-req?

It's required for the program I applied (Sammuel Merritt University - ABSN program). For some programs, it's not a prerequisite as it's likely a class during the program.

It was required for Metro State in Denver and we were able to take it online. As crazy as it sounds, it wasn't as daunting as I was expecting.

It's not a ore-req in my program. Once you get accepted there are 2 med surg classes in the second semester which are pretty much pathophys classes.

I applied to Salisbury university in Maryland and they require it.

For me it is a required prerequisite.

In my BSN program patho is one if the first 3 nursing core classes along with pharmacology and fundamentals. We will see in the fall! Eekk!!!

My ABSN program required it as a pre-req even though pathophys is covered in both chronic care and acute care. It's been REALLY helpful so far and the class itself wasn't as bad as I though it would be.

Patho is a pre req at my school. It's somewhat of a "weeder" class. Requires the use of critical thinking skills. Tough class, the exam questions were insane. The mechanism of the disease process was emphasized heavily as was "creating" drugs to treat diseases. I bombed the first exam but rallied and passed with a B. Whew!

One university here requires it as a pre req, but all the other schools in my town have it as a nursing course in the first semester of nursing classes.

My school required it. I wish they required pharm as well. I'm in my second semester of a BSN program and I am so glad that what we are talking about is stuff I've already heard of before.
