University of Miami Accelerated Nursing

Published

Hoping people can share the names of the classes they took that meet the requirements for the University of Miami accelerated nursing program.

  • Chemistry for Life Sciences w/ Lab (CHM 103/105)
    (Chemistry for premed or chemistry majors meets this requirement)
  • Human Anatomy w/ Lab (HCS 212/213)
  • Principles of Systemic Physiology (HCS 215)
    (Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II meet this requirement)
  • Introduction to Microbiology and Immunology for Nurses (MIC 320)
  • Introduction to Psychology (PSY 110)
  • Introductory Statistics (NUR 202)
    (Must have a prerequisite of at least college algebra)
  • Principles of Nutrition (NUR 306)
  • Theories in Growth and Development (NUR 317)
    (must cover the lifespan from birth to death)

These are the classes listed on the website and was wondering if gen chem 1 and 2 meet the requirement for the chemistry with life sciences? Also, does anyone know if a general microbiology with lab course meets the "Introduction to micro and immunology for nurse"? I'm aware that no one will be able to answer these questions for certain but hoping other students will share the names of the courses they took that satisfied these courses. Also, what type of stats course did you guys take? Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

If you spend some time on their website you can see the list of equal credit classes. There is a lot of information on their website and the other week I clicked around a found the information. It may have been under the ABSN FAQ section. Good luck! You can also give them a call and ask.

I'm currently in the Florida SUS system so my pre-requisites were pretty straightforward. Compare the courses you took to course descriptions given in Miami's academic bulletin. If the course descriptions match, chances are you took a comparable course. Introductory Psych and Stats and General microbio or chemistry courses tend to be pretty standard offerings and the course syllabus should reflect that. Unless you took something very specific (like Biostatistics instead of regular statistics or a nutrition course that didn't focus on human nutrition) I wouldn't worry so much about the admission committee not accepting your courses.
