They have a dosage class now? I just graduated in May and didn't have one. I'd be more concerned about patho, for sure.

I wouldn't bother studying ahead for the dosage class- it's pretty basic, just work hard while in it- I just re-read my other posts and can't think of anything else to add at the moment- once you get farther into the classes you may have other questions.

I graduated from the st Paul campus with my BSN. Job search was a good... I had one job lined up and an interview for another before graduation. I ended up getting that one, as well, and took it on full time and kept the first job part time.

I disagree. I'm great at math and was able to test out of this but I can't emphasize how surprised I was with how many people struggled with dosage calculations. Even after they took the class and were in the nursing classes! Not a bad thing, but if math isn't a strong area, plan on putting time into this and studying it.
