Should I re-take Business math?

[airborne81]

Hey everybody, first post here. I've learned a lot just by reading other forums but I felt like it was time for me to ask a question.

A little background information.

I graduated high school in 1999 and I was a history major and I didn't take school seriously like other people on this forum. I took business math which was a 100 level course and I got an F. Gave up in school and joined the military for a while and did a few tours in ugly places and matured really quickly. Currently I'm going to 7th best nursing school in the U.S. I realized that I didn't want to be a nurse when my instructor's kept saying, you need permission from a MD, PA, NP, etc... I hated the fact that RN's don't have much autonomy.

Upon graduating nursing school, I still have to take 6 more pre-req's for med school. Calc, Chem2, Ochem1,2 and Physics 1,2. Should I also retake my business math class which I took 10 years ago? or should my Calc class be sufficient?

your calc math will be sufficient

p.s. if you've been in the military, check out Uniformed Services University of Heath Sciences School of Medicine (USUHS SOM) or any of the other threads on here: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forumdisplay.php?f=72

It is dependent on whether you want to apply DO or MD. For MD, retaking business math gives you 0 benefit. For DO, it increases your GPA significantly - since they replace grades.
