|  How much math is involved in obtaining a BSN? As embarrassing as this is, I fooled around a lot in high school and will be graduating with Agelbra as my top math level. I'm not quite fond of math, other than that, everything else was above average. But exactly how much math will I need to obtain a BSN? What level of math will I need? I appreciate anyone who could answer this for me. Maybe message me if you can, any experienced nurses or newly graduated nurses, I'd appreciate the 1 on 1 help. |

Mood:   | Re: How much math is involved in obtaining a BSN? First, don't be embarrassed graduating with Algebra as your top math level. I have never liked mathmatics, especially in school setting. Statistics & Chemistry courses are prereqs for BSN programs. Algebra will give you a good foundation for both Stats & Chem courses. Also, unique to the health care profession is what I'd call pharmacology dosage conversions. This dosage calculations you will learn while in both pharmacology class, as well as BSN program. Plus, many different types of low cost self-help books exist to learn dosage calc methods. Be advised, the GRE exam is required for acceptance in to most MSN [Graduate] programs. The GRE requires somewhat a proficiency in Algebra & Geometry. However, w/o knowing the specific stats the majority of RNs are not MSN's. Again, if your competent in algebra and willing to put out the effort to succeed you will be fine.
