Should I follow my heart and start school as a nurse? *Not a fast learner and stupid!

Hi,

New member here!

I decided to become a LVN here in Texas (same as LPN in Florida)

My mothers a LPN, and even though she is struggling with bills and such, I know nurses make awesome money, and work seems to come easy and I can afford to live on my own! I am 21 years old! I went to college when we use to live in Florida, I did pretty good, but failed due to my home life that is stressful and not uplifting. I had two math classes (basic math) that I failed because I never showed up for the test. I knew I was going to fail, me and math don't mix well, because I fail a lot. My major then was RN, two years later I still didn't finish school due to good old math, the school I had said I had to pass a math class before any other classes would open for me.


My mother said she would go to sign me up.......I am 21 and in order to get goverment help to pay for my classes for low income families my mom have to sign me up or I have to be 25 years old, or married. She laughed and said lets see when you fail this what new excuse will you have? She always talks about me living with her forever!


My school years in middle school were running.......I learned nothing, but to run. My school was ghetto, and the kids didn't like my shy ways and well I learned nothing. So I am even more behind!!!!!!




TO THE POINT:

I know how to add, I know how to solve time tables........but I have been slowly trying to learn the lower numbers like 3-12 times table by memory, because in order to do division I need to know the basics by memory,and yes I don't know how to do divison : ( I never learned to because I knew I would mess up anyway.

I know I would make a awesome nurse, I care about others and never rush with people ect.


But I am suppose to sign up this Aug. but my math skills are so low...........to be a LVN/LPN you need mad math skills..........can I learn fast enough? SHould I give up and live with my mother? Why is my mind slow with math??

Any advice?
