Wanted to go for my lpn. But I'm scared because I do it know anything in math I meant nothing at all.
I order the nclex pn from Barron but I seem to be loosing interest in that book.
So now I'm thinking if I should just go for my medical assistance or try to get in the lpn program.

Medical Assistants need to know math. Do not let your fear of math over power you. Think of what you need to prepare for next level of life.
Most public libraries have math books one can use for review. Math - For Dummies series of books found helpful.
Math Videos are good review of basic topics.
Some high schools also have classes for adults. Community colleges will allow students to audit a course, provide educational testing to see if one needs introductory course plus they also have tutors.
Best wishes moving forward

I agree not to let math hold you back. If Lpn is what you want, learn what you need to learn and become an Lpn. Don't settle out of fear.

I agree.. Math shouldn't hold you back. Some subjects will need the extra effort, extra hours of studying/practicing and that's ok.
