Well yes.. if you're a nurse, you definitely need to take pharmacology. That's the main place you'll really learn the classifications of drugs and how/why they work. I'd be really surprised if it's NOT a pre-req for your nursing school, and I'm pretty sure it is for El Centro, but I could be wrong. I don't think it matters WHEN you take it, but I would sure take it either way!

YES. I think it should be a requirement. I can't imagine not taking it and being in nursing school. Do it if you have the opportunity!
