Hopeful, what did you do for your patho pre-req requirement? Were they picky about it?

I still have to take general chemistry - taking it at Oakton though over the summer since they don't offer a class I can make at JJC and I work in Oaktons district so I can get the tuition discount. I also need to take Micro and Statistics. Additional courses I need for my accelerated programs include Organic chem and Patho - which i'll probably take in the spring... Patho I have to take at Oakton also because it's not offered at JJC

I'm looking at Colorado State University - they are one, and i've seen it as a pre-req in several others that I have looked at. I have already tried contacting the advising department, waiting on response... if i get one. I've found that the accelerated program options require more in pre-reqs than a lot of other traditional programs do

Hey, Am I the only one that is finding it difficult to find local community schools that offer this? Also - does anyone have past experience with taking genera patho courses and having them not count as a prereq? The only patho course I can find near me is listed below - Do you think it'll count? Pathophysiology and Human Disease (3 credits) Description: Course analyzes and compares human diseases by studying pathophysiology, histopathology, and the impact of disease on cellular metabolism. Content covers an introduction to pathophysiology and human disease, and is intended primarily for health career students.

Hey, I am actually getting a majority of my pre-reqs done at JJC as well. I highly recommend that you take Dr. Nkuku for A&P if you can... he's fantastic. Easy A if you make it to class, record his lectures and pay attention. He explains the material so well, you leave class being able to explain it to other people. By far one of the best teacher's i've had. Beware though, he does not like it when you miss a test and he'll probably make it more difficult for you when you do take it, or just give you a zero. For Micro - Take Corcoran. I'm planning on taking her in the Fall. Everyone that I know has had good things to say about her and her teaching styles. As for what you should take together... the format you described looks like it should work out. Use ratemyprofessor.com also - makes a huge difference in who you take! I would definitely work in getting the science classes out of the way one by one - just don't overload yourself. Balance it out... take a very difficult class with one or two easier classes.

Hey, I know there are some other threads out there on CSU-Pueblo, but I am looking to apply to the 2014 summer program and I was wondering if anyone else on here was looking at that program? This is for the accelerated 12 month 2nd degree BSN program. I am also curious to people who have applied and have been accepted in the past, did you have all of your pre-reqs completed when you applied? If not, how many would you say were completed and what types of grades did you have? I have a 3.567 GPA from my previous degree and mostly A's on my science pre-reqs. By the end of this spring term I'll have the minimum amount of pre-req credits required to apply (14 = A&P 1 & 2, lifespan psychology, and a foreign language) should I go ahead and apply then? Or wait until after my summer class and have another class completed under my belt? I was planning on taking Chemistry over the summer.

Hey everyone, I am a 2nd degree bsn hopeful for a class starting in 2014. I am having a bit of a problem with the pre-reqs. One that I see listed commonly is clinical pathophysiology. Some are listed as 3 credits and some as 4 credits. The local community school's around me do not offer this and I wanted to know if anyone else has that problem or has had it and what you did to get around it? Also, I am willing to move anywhere to attend a second degree bsn program. I'm hoping to find one that is under 45-50k for the total cost of the program and has fairly mainstream pre-requisite classes. I was looking at a bunch of texas schools and they require so many extra history and goverment classes that i've never had to take, it takes texas out of the equation. I currently have a bachelors degree A&P1 and 2, health, lifespan psychology. Any ideas? Advice? suggestions? Open to everything.
