As for the math - let me suggest that you either take some remedial math classes and learn it, or give up the nursing idea. There is some serious math in nursing. Example: You want to give drug X to a patient who weighs 55 kilos. Your going to administer .05mg of the drug in 1:10,000 solution for every 10 kilos your patient weighs. You don't have any 1:10,000 but you do have it in 1:100,000 solution. How much do you give? Doc will be yelling at you if you haven't figured this out already.<br><b>References : </b><br> There are online programs that offer nursing for people who are already in the health professions and working (LPN, Paramedic, Technicians) but none that are appropriate from start to finish.

I know I'm much smarter than that and want to have a real associates degree. I have a math problem and places like University of Phoenix require too much math. What schools do not require alot? I want to definately work in healthcare. Do any online programs offer nursing? Online degree programs for people with math problems?
