Seriously considering this program, but one question

Hi,

I've posted in the online degree forum about this issue, but wanted some feedback from those of you who chose OU. I love everything I've read about this program, but have one concern, and that is that there is no pathophysiology requirement. I attended an ADN program that did not include pathophysiology, so I don't have it on my transcript. I'm definitely considering advanced practice options but still am not sure what those might be (making a career transition into nursing and still unsure of where I'd like to land).

I love the benefits of the OU experience (brick and mortar university, reasonable fees, five week schedules, etc.) but I'm wondering if I need to be worried about the lack of a pathophysiology requirement.

Was this a stumbling block for any of you who chose OU and do you plan to fill in with patho somewhere else? Am I worrying too much about this one?

Thanks for any input you can offer!

    I thought pathos was a graduate level course, at least when I was looking into it. I don't recall seeing any BSN programs that had pathos, but I certainly didn't look into all of them. Hopefully someone else can help you out here. I know I'm not worried about not taking it at this level.

    You could take the pathophysio course separately at a local college/university. My CC offers it as an elective option for nursing students.

    I was thinking along the same as chuckster, just take it separately. It was a prereq for my ADN program, so I have it done already. I took it online and passed with an A, two summers ago, didn't find it overly demanding.
