    Thank you Esme!
  2. Math rage

    One can infer quite alot from online boards. However what you inferred was utterly and completely WRONG. This post started out as a rant against algebra, but then turned into "me" apparently saying that nurses only needed a 5th math level. Which I di...

  4. Math rage

    This^^^^ It seems like everyone you ask at my school what their major is, nine times out of ten its nursing. Some of the people at my school, I look at and say (to myself) "God help me if you become a nurse."
  5. Math rage

    Careful with that, some people love to flame about that. Just look at some of the previous posts.
  6. Math rage

    While Re-reading all these posts, I would have never realized that so many people had opinions about algebra. I never thought that I would get this many responses.
  7. Math rage

    Yes, because that's exactly what I said. What I am saying is, is that advanced forms of algebra such as graphing parabolas and factoring square roots doesn't make sense to me to have as prerequisite curriculum for science classes and the nursing pro...

    I just want clarify that I wasn't meaning basic mathematics. I get basic mathematics. I have no problem with conversions, and multiplying, dividing, adding, subtracting. Fractions to decimals, and things of that nature. But what is really my issue is...

    Excuse me llg, I didn't know that my ranting about math would invite such a rude and classless response. I never said anything about not wanting a college education. I came on this board to vent about about my schooling much like the nurses come to ...

    My gosh, I hope so. I'd hate to think that I was wasting all this money for one 5 week class.
  13. Math rage

    Esme, I understand trying to solve for X. I do that in my everyday life, for instance when I'm at the store. But learning to multiply square roots, graphing, factoring huge terms, and other "advanced" types of algebraic equations doesn't make any sen...

    Is it just me or does anyone else find the math classes you have to take like algebra completely and totally a waste of time and money? I asked a RN the other day if she had ever needed to factor a polynomial at work, and she chuckled and said no. I ...
  15. The hardest thing

    The hardest thing you have to do is to prepare yourself to say goodbye to a resident whom you have cared for for the past 3 years. It hit me today that she is not going to get better, and that her life is coming to an end. I'm having a hard time acce...
