If I Am Not Good At Math, Is It A Good Idea To Major In Something Like Biology Or Nursing?

Posted on 02/25/2010 by nursing| 4 Comments

My list:
~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?

    Choose nursing if you like it. You can get through the math early on and get a tutor.
    You won’t need that much math in nursing. Physics would be of more help to you. This is advice from a mother of a recent graduate RN.
    You will find your place. She started at a community college as well. She first wanted to be a vet and then switched to nursing. Plus, getting an RN degree will allow you to work and study for something else at the same time. You will always be able to find a job. They are begging for good RNs.

    I am majoring in biology and only have to take two semester of math. Any major is going to have some math but it is pretty basic.

    My sister wasn’t the greatest at math either but she got her associates in nursing and her bachelors in biology and did just fine! No worries! :)

    Hey you’re just like me! So do you want to know what my major is? Graphic Design. I am going to western career college for 2 years and I will get my AA in graphic design. :) Not much math in that and its Art. Liberal Art according to my junior college. But I am thinking Chemistry and Biochemistry is gonna be math heavy. Nursing would be good. Not much math other than simple equations of messurment. Like how many CCs of this and that. Etc. You could also do Western Career College for that too. Lots of other medical things there too. Check it out.
