Hello All, I am classmate of Katie and Buckeye_Rose. I just joined allnurses.com and read this entire thread. I was one of the fortunate people who had taken patho prior to coming to CSU-P. Make sure it is a 300 level course and try to get your hands on the syllabus because they will want to see it. I had taken mine in 2005 and they were concerned, but I passed the national test so I didn't have to take it. My guess is that you will have to take a nation-wide standardized norms patho test along with the A&P test during orientation, so brush up on both. Good luck!!!
