No math classes taken in college?

I didn’t go past geometry in HS, but took CLEP tests and earned 6 math credits, which satisfied my college requirements. I always scored well on math aptitude tests but I found the study of math boring. I couldn’t bear the thought of missing a history class in order to take math. Like @rosered55 , I began as a journalism major, but ended as a poli sci and history major. I went to law school straight from college. In all honesty, the lack of math has not hindered me in any way, shape or form in my life.

My S17 is dyscalculic and also went only through geometry in HS and this past summer, he took a math class at the local CC. He got an A (he was really relaxed knowing he only needed a C to get the credit and he had a really good teacher) and earned his credits. He is a theater tech major and has no intention of taking any other math classes.

For you, @jr4472, however, some math is necessary for nursing. I would check into what is required and maybe audit a class or work with a tutor if you feel rusty on those skills. I think nurses need to know metric (I stink at conversions) and how to convert to calculate weights and dosages. I admire you for going back to school. My friend’s H went back to school for nursing. He had to finish his UG degree first and is now working on his BSN while working as a nurse. It’s been tough for them but he loves it and it’s something he was not ready to do when he was younger. Good luck.
