Surprisingly we didn't have tot ake a math course in nursing school. Thank goodness. We did have to take a preadmission SAT Math achievement test. HS math was my downfall, I took Alg II twice, but when I finished college and started doing medication math I did great. In those intervening years I guess something just clicked. I could usually do problems in my head and then recheck on paper. I know there must be a term for stuff that just pops up like that.

If your willing to pay 20something dollars a month, then this is the best program! It's called Aleks. www.aleks.com. I have been using it for studying for my NET and also the accuplacure. I never took math in high school... squeezed through the system as someone else said and have hated it for as long as I can remember. This program is like having your own personal tutor. Now I can do the basic math and passed the accuplacure into elem algebra! Plan to keep using it through my algebra course... so wanted to find a place to share it all with you as well. Hope it helps.

Practice as many problems as you can! Find sites off of the internet that is geared toward the math you are learning, and read different methods of how to solve the variety of problems you may be struggling with. Sometimes having something explained in different words may help because you may not understand it one way, and with another it just clicks! :)

Good luck!

Thank you, you put it perfectly!!! I really struggle with math. sometimes all it takes for me to understand a hard math problem is to explain it in a different way and then it's like a light bulb went off and i finally get!!!:idea: thanks!!!

Love this forum. Thanks for the websites. I'm taking math for health science as part of pre-requisite fall 07.

You are Fantastic. I am just starting classes and am Down on Math. I m actually doing well with much effort. I think of math like I think of reading a foreign language. This is a great site. Just what I needed to remind me that math will truly be part of my life, not just something put on this earth to make me suffer. Thanks so much. I see nursing has been part of your life for quite some time, so your knowledge is appreciated.

anyone out there proficient with chemistry in balancing equations, theoretical yields, and percent yields. I am really lost and have a test on Wednesday (tomorrow) at 10:00 a.m.

Late notice, I know - but I am ready to pull my hair out!!!

Hi nursing students. Have any of you pre-nursing students ever doubted your abilities to become a nurse? I love people, love helping others, find medicine interesting, but am having such trouble with chemistry, I am questioning my abilities. I scraped by with a C in Biology 101, but I did it over a summer course which was a 5 week course with 15 weeks worth of information. My overall GPA for the spring semester 07 was a 3.46, but then dropped to a 3.077 and now I am at a 3.15 and I still have three classes left to get my grades in. I am hoping to get into the Fall 08 program, but sometimes I get really nervous and scared as to whether I can really do this and if it is the right career choice for me. I am an older returning adult student beginning a new 2nd career. Any advice on how to alleviate my fears and doubts?

Is there anywhere you can go for practice math questions for peds?

Thanks,

Thank you all for posting these links. I start classes in a little over 3 weeks and just had a baby- I needed to brush up on my math skills. Thanks!
