CNA'S, do you use algebra?

Nursing Students CNA/MA

This is my last year of high school, and I am really struggling with algebra. I want to be a CNA, and I am just wondering if CNA's use algebra at all, or even on a day-to-day basis?

No, I didn't use algebra as a CNA.

But are you sure you want to be a CNA for your entire life? It's very physical, tiring work for relatively little pay. If you ever decided you want to change careers, algebra could be a college requirement. In fact, if you ever wanted to advance from a CNA to an RN then you will definitely need to take algebra. I'm an RN now, after three years as a CNA, and I use algebra every day at work.
