Do you need physics to become a nurse?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Hi everyone!

I'm still in highschool, but I've been thinking about going into nursing. I went on some university websites and found that to get into their nursing program, you don't NEED physics, but they recommend that you take it since I'm guessing that you have to take physics in year one.

I, however, SUCK at physics!!!!! I can't take trying to learn it because it really makes no sense to me.... I love bio and chem, but are those enough to get me through the program? And if I don't take physics in highschool, will universities still accept me over someone who did take it?

Thanks so much!

Good day:

In terms of the pyramid of sciences, you have physics as the foundation to chemistry which is the foundation to biology. So, yes physics does matter.

Thank you.

how can I do that please MA
