Respiratory Therapy Math vs. Nursing math

Hello. I plan on entering the respiratory therapy program at my school fall 2012. I have been doing some research and it seems like the RT program has a lot of math in it. I am not very good in math so I was thinking about taking a Nursing dosage calculation course this summer to prepare me for the pharmacology class in the respiratory program. Do you guys think that will be a good idea or is the math used in nursing completely different from the respiratory math used in the RT program? I was just trying to get ahead of the game. Thanks!

Quote from hopeless romanticThanks rtDude! Can I ask you something else? Was it hard finding a job as an RT? I've been reading a lot and some people say most RT's can only find part time work
Could I attend a trade school instead of a community college to be an RT "wondering if there's a way around the long waiting lists" and be just as successful afterwards with an associates?
