Greetings to all! I am new here and just find this site on the web. I have been seriously considering a career in the nursing field and would like to get some practical advice from others who are working in this field. To give you a little background on myself, I have been working in construction but wish to change careers and do something different. I have been checking on several different schools and noticed that they are requiring "Algebra I and II". Would this be something that might hinder me? as I have not had this in highschool...other than that I made straight A's back then but, my it's been a long time since I did any class work I know that some colleges ask for a "Compass" test. I took this when applying for a recent tech school and scored high but, then again there was no Algrebra..on it :imbar Just need some tips from people more experienced in this than I. Thanks for any replys/help in this matter. Erik
