Down in the Dumps.

I was accepted to a university in PA as a pre-nursing major. I haven't even started yet and I already feel miserable and am looking at Plan B majors. I'm not good at math and the pre-reqs are statistics and chemistry+lab. I've had an IEP in math since I was in the 6th grade. I feel like math will hold me back from a lot in life, including nursing. I hate myself because I don't believe I will ever be good at math and the fact that I will probably spend all this time doing nursing pre-reqs just to fail chemistry and statistics is making me feel awful.

Here is a math tip, you must do the homework and if the problem is you spend hours on a math problem and can't get the right answer there is a solution. It's called a "solutions" manual and is a supplement to math textbooks. Colleges might not offer them, but if you look in the math book it will tell you about available supplements and you can then order the solutions manual online.

Helped me get thru College Algebra, it is wonderful because it shows you how to get the right answer so you don't spend hours getting a wrong one and not know why! Highly recommend it to anyone that struggles with math, a wonderful resource, I don't know why it's not more highly publicized! Math is about knowing the formulas and once you know then doing the homework helps ground the formulas in your brain! It really works!
