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?

What Type Of Job Can I Get With A Biology Major — Pre Med Specialty?

Posted on 08/12/2009 by nursing| 2 Comments

I am planning on pursuing a doctorate in pharmacology. I am either going to go the route of s degree in chemistry, or biology. I live near DOW chemical in Texas, so a chemist would be easy if I have to work for a while after achieving the bachelors before continuing on. I am really good and excel in biological sciences and organic chemistry, however I am not good at calculus, and higher math. I am trying to look into my options for a biology degree for my area to see if it is feasible. If anyone has any good information, or resources it is much appreciated. My ultimate goal is to do research into medical chemistry, and the use of both traditional and alternative medicines to combat certain cancers. Mainly Breast cancer. However, I may have to work for a while after the four year before I can finish the pharmacology degree.
Thanks for any info!
