Pharmacology Online

[kgowiern]

Hey Everyone! I am an RN with my Bachelor's Degree. I recently applied to Georgetown University's Nurse Midwifery online program and was not accepted due to my science GPA not being as high as other candidates. They recommended me take a Pathophysiology class which I have already taken and received an A and a Pharmacology class which I took at Salisbury University and received a C. They recommended I retake the Pharmacology class to show them that I could succeed in their advanced pharmacology class. I work full time at an OB/GYN office mon-fri 8:30-5 which makes it limited on retaking the one and only pharmacology course offered at SU. University of Phoenix apparently does not fulfill the required knowledge. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Could you just take it online from another college around you? I know the community colleges around here all offer an online section. Even if you go out of district, it can't be more expensive than UofP would've been?

They want it at a University level so they know I can do the advanced patho.

Would there really be a difference between a community college and a university class? Arent you taught the same thing??

I am taking pharmacology online right now. Granted, I am not yet an RN, but I am in a BSN program. So far it's not so bad. I feel like if you know the basic mechanisms behind patho, the online class is not too bad. It is basically memorization from what I can tell so far, so in my eyes, it wouldn't be any easier in lecture. Everyone learns differently though.

Only thing is they prefer a 300 level pharmacology class which community colleges dont offer. I have found several online pharmacology classes but they just don't meet the exact criteria they are looking for.
