Do i have to take physics in high school in order to be a Public health nurse?



i am not good at physics this year, so i have a feeling that this means i can't be a public health nurse or a pharmacist...

Can you tell me if i have to take physics to be either of those 2 jobs? Can I do those jobs without physics?

What courses you take in high school doesn't affect your career, more or less your grades affect whether or not you get into college. Physics is not really needed for a nurse or a pharmacist.

The sciences you should be most concerned about are biology, anatomy, and chemistry. Chemistry especially to be a pharmacist.

Most people I know who go into nursing have to take biology, microbiology, and anatomy. Most pharmacists have to take chemsitry. Those are the sciences you should be most conerned about.
i would try again this summer, repeat the class this will help you when you go to nursing school for your career choice..........also bones up with the math. you will need it for both subjects
I don't think so, but ASK the college you will be going to to get the course synopsis for public health nurse.

Most of the nurse students I met only had to take the highest level of algebra but that was in college.

You may not even need to take any math courses in college at all if you took algebra II.

Lucky You!
You'd have to check with the specific college you plan to attend, but the first year of most Nursing degrees is the same as the first year of a general science degree. You'll likely need calculus and a couple of pure sciences (chemistry, physics or biology). If you're fine in 2 out of those 3 you should likely be OK. Again though, don't take anyone's word here as gospel truth, check with the college.
Physics is a no go for that job, but Biology is strongly suggested, and maybe a little bit of chemistry will help you as well. If you want to be a pharmacist on the other hand, physics is a must. But to play it smooth during life, take all three sciences like I am, and keep your options pretty wide open for yourself.
You can do those jobs with out physics, but is it a graduation requirement?
There are plenty of pharmacy students who were accepted with Cs in college physics. The purpose of physics is to weed out people. I, a pharmacy student, have never used my physics knowledge since completing the course. Show me a physics problem now, and I'll laugh at you. Chemistry, anatomy, and physiology are weighted more highly than physics.
