where to take advanced physiology and pathophysiology

Nursing Students NP Students

Published

Hi everyone,

I am doing Acute care NP and need to take a advanced physiology and pathophysiology class in order to make it to the clinical that starts this fall. My school decided not to offer it this summer. NOT advanced pathophysiology. Yes I don't see a lot of school has this class on the study plan, usually there are only three : advanced patho, advanced pharm, and advanced health assessment. But my school need this and pathopharmocology after completing those three. So if I don't find one, I will have to delay for a year and do clinical next fall.....:cry:

Anybody has any idea which school might offer this class in this summer? online is fine. even the one under biology dept. is fine. Thanks a lot!

This makes very little sense. You are in a program that requires you to take clinical this fall but you 1) haven't taken the required three P's and 2) they don't offer it? I feel there are other variables here that are not being stated.

Also, what is "the one under the biology dept?" I have not seen very many schools have any of the three P's not as a nursing course.

Thank you for your comment.

Based on the study plan that was provided by my program, I am required to take 5 core classes ( three Ps and two others) before starting clinical. I have completed 3Ps and have 2 left to be taken in this summer. if I complete the last two core classes as planed in this summer, I will be able to start clinical this fall. However, I just found out that one of last two core classes ( advanced human physiology and pathophysiology) is not offered this summer ( not enough people taking it). Therefore, I will have to take it in this fall and do nothing for next spring and summer, then start clinical next fall ( clinical only starts in fall).

I did some search under biology, no luck. I even checked under medical school.. very frustrating....

Did you ever find somewhere to take this class? I'm in the same situation. I need to take advanced pathophysiology, this summer, to start my post grad program, this fall.
