Thank you Jojofries and Streamline. I appreciate the guidance....I'll get "a...studying!!):)

I am new to this site, though I've been following it for a few weeks. I am going to be starting an accelerated program in August. I will attend fall, spring, summer and then finish up the following fall (that is the hope!). Anyway, since deciding to pursue this goal, I did need to take a couple of prerequisites (credits that were too old, like Microbiology and a class I'd never taken A&P I and A&P II.) Now having been accepted, I am scared to death. I had the luxury over the past year of taking one course!!!, and now I am jumping in into the fire. I will not have clinicals the first 8 weeks, but will the second 8 weeks of my semester and then many rotations of clinicals, etc. thereafter. I have not taken Algebra in YEARS and am probably most nervous about med dosing and calculations. Can anyone tell me what class (or classes) that will be covered in? I would love to study ahead of time to get a little comfort. I see some great sites, but if anyone could recommend a book (that might mean something to someone who has not had class one in nursing yet). How much do you use your math, other than med conversion, is there anything else I may be missing? My first Bachelor's is in Liberal Studies, so although I did take chemistry in high school (2 years) and in college, it's been a long time.....Oh by the way, did I mention I am chaning careers at 47 years of age. I am really excited, but so worried.....I almost wish I was in the thick of things now because, then I'd just have to perform, ya know? Anyway, any guidance would be very appreciated. :)
