So far, the only math I’ve had to worry about is dosage calculations. We don’t have to take any math in my LPN program.
Best of luck.

Only part of it!
Dirty diapers, human feces and urine, 300+ lbs patients, dealing with 10 different problems in the same time without having any problems to carry out all the solutions to all those problems.
Anyhow, if you are talking about school, you have to be good at figures and you have to be able to learn it quick. Most schools do not allow you to fail the same subjects twice or they will “kick” you out for good.

For most ADN programs, you don’t need anything more than 8th grade math. You’ll be figuring dosages on medications . . . . Like micrograms per kilogram per minute . . . figure that in milliliters/hour if you’re given milligrams per milliliter. That’s as hard as it gets.
For BSN programs, you will need College Algebra and Statistics. No Calculus, no Trig.
As for science, you have to make it through some basic – Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology for ADN. Add General Chemistry and Biology for BSN.

Most of the math you do in an LVN course has to do with pharmacology. It’s figuring doses according to a patient’s weight and such. I’d say it’s math that has a purpose. Somehow that makes it easier or it makes more sense.

Math can be very important in the nursing program.Most programs require students to get 100% on dosage calculation tests. There is no room for error when calculating meds.
