Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but is chemistry really something that is used in nursing.
There are programs in my area that do not even require it, however I want to get a BSN, and for that Health Science Chemisrty I and II, or General Chemistry I and II are required (so is poetry, but that has nothing to do with nursing).
I'm taking Health Science Chemistry this semester and we are only on chapter 1
and I am lost. I do not understand ANY of it. I've tried getting help from the instructor, chemistry for dummies, homework helpers, idiots guide to chemisrty etc.. I've read and reread my text, taped my lectures done everything that I can think of to help and I still just don't understand one single thing. Problem solving and conversion factors is really whats killing me. I don't know how to figure out the factors and even when they are given to me I don't know how to solve them. Do you +,-, X divide??
I think I am going to have to drop this class. The thing is I really want a BSN, not just a ASN.
Also how much like Chemistry is Pharmacology? I am afraid I wont understand it either:crying2:
