Well, Finite Math (I assume that is what you meant) has a lot of probability in it. I personally hate probability and you don't really need it in nursing. What you do need is dimensional analysis and I imagine you will get more of that in college algebra.

One of the schools that I am applying to asks for Finite Math and Statistics. All the other schools ask for College Algebra (BSN programs anyway).

Thanks for your reply. I had never even heard of this math :specs:

That's kind of weird. Maybe the finite math course there has dimensional analysis. Or maybe they think you need probability for nursing. I'm trying to think of a reason you would and can't come up with anything. Discrete/Finite math is typically sets, number theory, combinatorics, and stuff like that. It is really more useful for computer programming.

they ask for Finite if you are a transfer student without an AA. If you transfer with an AA, then they only ask for statistics. That's what Im understanding from it anyway. Basically I am 9 credits short for my AA, I still need micro bio and both A&P's with Labs for my nursing pre reqs.

Ive been combing through every schools websites, because I will be applying to most of them here in South Florida..
