I got in touch with an academic counselor and found out that the no college level math is required for my ADN, but if I was to transfer, it would be needed. So Dosage Calc is all I would need. I so thrilled. Math has never been my strong point.

Alright, here's the downlow. I am looking into my options for an ADN. I am located in the US, in the South, in Mississippi. I was reviewing the course requirements for MGCCC's ADN, and I noticed that College Wlgebra is not in the course listings. Does anyone know if this is a misprint, or a legitimate option ? And, what is your opinion on needing College Algebra. I do not plan to pursue my BSN.

Well, there goes that idea, right out the window. My next line of thought was stay in bedside care until I worked my way up to a charge nurse or nurse manager. Will take much time though.

No ! NEVER w/o an order. Big no no.

I was thinking Triage or teaching. Either one.

@ anh06005: I can see within roughly a yard from my face near perfectly. I can read a manual micrometer and caliper 1 1/2 feet away. But yes, I am legally blind. Actual diagnosis is severe myopia.

@ BreakRebuild, Rose Queen: I have shadowed several RN's, and they allowed me examine many medication bottles, IV bags, and a host of other things I have no clue as to what they were to get their own idea of if I am suited or not. They OKed me.

I know a RN can do ROM exercises and varying other basic stuff, but can they do any major interventions comparable to a PT ?

There are multiple local hospitals/clinics within walking distance, and most of which are hiring. And I have been offered a teaching post at the local Vo-tech to teach Allied Health as well.

Ah. Ok. I get it now. My next question is this: online nursing courses. Are they viable ? It seems to me that with this profession, you should get all the classroom time possible.

Clarification: I am not blind. I am near-sighted.

I should have made myself clearer. Yes, to "force" the school to provide transport. Or carpool. But, under the Rehab Act of '73, Section 504, the school has no choice. They recieve federal funding. Would I be correct ?

Alright, this is my first post on AN, so please bear with me. I am considering persuing nursing as a career, and am attending college for the pre-reqs as of now. But, I have one MAJOR impediment. I can not drive. I can see to do all the work that needs to be done, all of the skills, etc. What is your advice ? Should I blackmail the school, and force them to help me, or should I go another route ? Thanks in advance.
