Apparently, this place thinks nurses need practical knowledge in algebra and geometry, as indicated in the aptitude test I took. I passed the reading part with flying colors, naturally. I was a mere twelve points off from passing the math section, and the only option was to retake the test. I kindly thanked them for wasting my time and now I need to find a school where I can simply go into the nursing program without any sort of aptitude testing nonsense.
My guess is that Algebra would be needed for calculating dosages. That, and it seems Algebra is required for almost any higher education...I battled through it and hated every minute when I went back to college a decade ago.
Geometry is a little puzzling for a nursing degree though. Thank goodness I didn't need to get through that.
