Should I???

So I start Nursing school in the Fall...I have heard many people say that a medical terminology class has been very helpful to them for Nursing school. Well I really would like to take it as well, but does it make any sense to take it while already in Nursing school? Or there are a few online course choices that I could do now during the Summer...anyone tried those? I know they won't count as actual credits (well some say they can for more money) but would that be a good idea??

Any help would be great...Thanks :)

You can start teaching yourself about Nursing mathematics and dosage calculations. Get familiar with terms like cc, ml, mg, Gm, liter, and gr. If you're not good at math, you will be very glad you previewed this topic.

Anybody have any good suggestions for helpful books or websites on this?...mainly books...looking to order all of mine soon.

Thanks!
