Trigonometry and Nursing

Published

I am curious.......for what degree in nursing would this be a required course? An acquaintance of mine is taking this and I believe she is going for BSN. Don't you just need college level math? I thought in Arizona you did not even need College Algebra. Am I mistaken?? Isn't the order of math.....college algrebra, calculus, then trig?

Of course, she could be taking it because she WANTS to. ........NAH!:)

Thanks!

I would have to find an alternate career path if I had to take trig. I had to take statistics ( and loved it!).

We're required to have algebra, statistics, and at least one other math (higher level than algebra).

I took trig a few years ago when I wasn't sure of what my major was, but they accepted it for my BSN program. :chuckle

My ADN program required College Algebra (Tennessee). The BSN program required Statistics (Texas). You might go online to a few of the local schools to look at their catalogs.

You are fortunate to have the type of mind that can appreciate the higher math. We aren't all so enlightened by the exposure, unfortunately!
