Feeling discouraged :(

took my Stats final tonight and it wasn't pretty. My GPA going in was a 2.5, so this isn't going to help it. :(

I have always had this weird mental block with math, and consistently have been a C student when it comes to math courses. My cumulative GPA is a 3.9 and this class is going to sink it a bit. (Hopefully not too much).

I really really REALLY don't want to have to re take this stupid class. :(

Honestly, how much actual math do nurses do anyway? :p

For those already in nursing programs, how big of a blow will this be to my chances of being accepted? Do I HAVE to retake it? *whines* If I can keep the rest of my pre req classes at a 3.5 or better, and of course all the other non grade considerations, I would like to think I'm still competitive.

I am just feeling really down on myself at the moment. :( :banghead: :no::(

I really know what you are talking about! I just do not get it. I study for hours and hours, and still cannot remember enough to get a good test score. I am in Intermediate Algebra, and hoping to keep my C after the final next week. I have a 4.0 and this awful class will drag me down. The 5 nurses I know do not do any math calculations at work that come even close to what Int. algebra class goes into. They all have a calculations book and charts to follow, and the pharmacy does most of it.

I wish ya lots of luck:specs:hang in there!

This is just a bump in the road.

I totally feel you both! My Int. Algebra was sooo tough. I have been out of school since 1994 and never took Algebra. I ended up withdrawing at the end and will be taking it again in a few weeks. I feel a little better now, but it is hard.

I have some suggestions.

~If you can get a tutor. (My school has free ones)

~Also do as many practice problems as you can, it really starts to help.

I know that there is alot of math involved in drug calculations. But I couldn't tell you truthfully because I am not a nurse.......yet!

I can totally sympathize with this. I took my algebra final today and it completely ate me for breakfast. I am hopefully going to retake it during the summer so I can apply to nursing school next fall and actually get in. I have a complete mental block with math, I can't translate the numbers to letters to numbers and it just makes no sense at all.

I hope that your results come out better than you're anticipating! I'm sure they will. Good luck!

Just remember i is an imaginary number!

Oh I cant wait to do that again....insert sarcasm here.
