~Biology
~Biochemistry
~Nursing
~Chemistry
~Maybe something related to Arts
I’m a Sophmore at a Community College and I have not declared major yet (shame on me!). I have many interests and I don’t know what to choose. I really like other things that are not listed above. I am not good at Math and I’ve been having some real troubles with my college math so far. I like sciences, in high school I used to do great in sciences (but Physics) but not in math. If I desire to major in something listed above, will the math really impact my career? Does these majors require lots of math?
I am pretty good in Geometry, I got only As in my high school geometry class (which I took in my Senior year).
Any recommendation?

Look up some of the legal implications of medication errors… prison sentences dues to negligence. Regardless of anything the doctor prescribed or the pharmacy provided, giving the WRONG med or the WRONG dosage lays solely on the shoulders of the nurse who administered it. You really need to know how to calculate and convert different measurement systems as well as figure out IV flow rates, etc. Also very important for monitoring intake and output….
