Nursing Requirement

[Aaron D]

Do you need Stoichiometry to become a Nurse??

[NICU Guy, BSN, RN]

Possibly inside your Chemistry class, but I can't recall if there was Stoichiometry in my Chemistry class.

Yes and no. Yes to pass classes such as chemistry and maybe med calculation exams. In actual practice, I rarely use it since my EHR will help with harder calculations. However, you need to have a very good handle with ratios for med calculation. Overall it would be beneficial to know, but I guess it wouldn't make or break you as a nurse. If you are struggling with it, maybe try Khan Academy or googling other resources, once you've got it down it's actually pretty simple!
