You should be proficient in algebra, and the higher math you can do, the better. You're also going to need chemistry. And there's something else, but I can't remember. It's been a while. Call the college you're interested in and ask.
Most colleges have you take an entrance exam to determine your competence in math. If you score highly, you may not have to take any math in college.

you will need algebra II in high school. and in college you will definitely need math 101 which is your basic algebra. the type of math classes you need in college will depend on what college you go to and what type of RN you are seeking; for example bachlors RN need more math classes than associates RN. and keep in mind they may have different names like math 155.

You can test out in math. You will need two semesters of algebra. I couldn't test out as I started nursing school in '96 and graduated high school in'71 I was required to take two semesters of college algebra basic. Then in nursing school you will have med math and learn how to do medication dosages. For this you will need to know how to solve for X.

I don't know the specifics, but wow do I hope it's a lot of math! If someone is going to be giving me dosages of medicine, and computing things for my health care, I want them to be a total _expert_ at math!
