I would like to consider LVN school, how much chemistry do I need to know? I haven't taken it since high school. Should I enroll in a chemistry class at community college to help me prepare better for LVN school?

I was an LVN before I became an RN. In my state (CA) only a basic understanding of chemistry was required, and it was all covered in the prerequisits and courses themselves. Because I had planned on eventually getting my RN, I took all of my prerequisites at the local community college that were applicable to the RN requirements. It never hurts to go overboard on preparation.
