so in order to apply for a nursing program you obviously need to take bio and chem classes. i know you need a basic background knowledge of the sciences, but once you are actually working in a hospital, do you need to know any of that stuff in great detail? i want to be a RN really badly and i'm not very good at science but am a hard worker and can take it. i'm just wondering if i'm going to need to know really specific biology or chemistry related things once i am working. i know i'm gonna have to know anatomy and about diseases and pharmacology, which i find really interesting, but i'm just wondering about bio and chem.
