Having a physics course in nursing certainly would not hurt, however I have never seen a physics course required for this field. The exact sciences particular to nursing does include human anatomy and physiology I and II, microbiology and chemistry for allied health to include inorganic, organic and biochemistry. Some institutions may require the physics as part of their bachelors program in nursing.

∙ 15y agoTo understand the science behind many of the procedures it helps. Physics covers sound and light waves, the science behind sonograms, CAT scans, MRI's, and x-rays for starters. Then theres understanding the science of nuclear medicine, and that also falls in the physics category. Understanding forces, and how they act on a human body, electricity, and even simple gravity, go far in understanding the potential and actual injuries people suffer from accidents. Nursing is more than just working with the here and now of the patient, it's also understanding how you got there, and where you can expect to go in future. It may not be useful everyday, but it will be comforting to patients if you can explain the science behind the tests. Otherwise, you will look like an uneducated person and won't inspire much confidence in your patients. dhaw!

How important is physics in the advancement physics? I would say it's fundamental. If you restate the question, maybe I can give a better answer.
How important is further maths if i want to do a degree in physics?
Very important. Physics requirs a lot of mathematics.
Why do nursing students need to study physics?
Over the years of working in the medical field, I have seen those nurses that have taken Physics in high school or college come to the aid of those that skipped this important science, especially when working with radiological, electrical, magnetic, or other technical issues. Too bad some students are looking for the easiest way to get into a School of Nursing, which has as low an admission requirements as possible! If you can not understand the basic concepts in Physics, then you should look for a career which does not use this important part of modern nursing. Of course there are sections which require deep thought...welcome to life in the real world. There is nothing worse than a nurse that is unable to perform significant problem solving, and they are observing the data on a complex machine that is plugged into a patient that is between life and death. Please, if you are unable to read technically with modern Physics, do not be my nurse...
