Rn's, are you able to do job well without chemistry class?

Published

summer is coming up and i thought about taking chemistry, even though its not required in the RN/ADN or the BSN program here. Should i take it anyway? or just save my money? Does chemistry class help you understand medications better or help you take care of patients better? thanks.

edit: really, my schools here dont require it, i checked. its only listed on the pre-nursing course at the community college, but the bsn college nor the college that has the prenursing course dont require it either for adn/rn...so,,im thinking i'll just read a cliffs notes book on my own and let it rest there.

and use my summer to take sociology and nutrition which is required.

good idea?

Specializes in ICU/PACU.

No. Not at all. It didn't help me at all, actually I don't remember 1 thing about it.

Microbiology was helpful though.
