Hello, I am in my first year at college and I am working on my Associates degree. I was wondering, do I need all this Algebra for Nursing?

Basic algebra is very handy for drug calculations and pharmacology.

If it's in the program, yes.

I had to take 2 remedial math classes before I was even able to take college algebra and statistics. I have gone on to take pre calc and am even looking into a calculus class to keep me sharp. I hated math and am so glad I stuck with it and diligently did the work. It's really helped me in Chemistry and have also helped me begin studying drug calcs

I am also taking remedial algebra before I can take college algebra. It is a requirement in our program You don't get into nursing school until it is done.
