Thank you for your help with my math... I really needed it... I took my Nurse Entry Exam.....2 1/2 hrs..... and guess what...???? I PASSED I do not have to take any other classes... like I thought I was going to have to ....wooooo hooooooooo I hope to start my LPN classes in April. So wish me luck.... I am just so very happy and excited... I know it may not be an easy road ahead..... but My heart is in it all the way.... I did find another web Site to help with math .... called aol step by step math...you can use it for 90 days.... free... if you like it you keep it just for 5 more dollars on you aol account. check it out... it did help me a little I just did not find it soon enough to get through the -75/-5 That is the one of my places I had problems with on the testing... but I passed now doing a little happy dance... woooo hooooooooo take care.....

Hello all, I am new to this site and do not even know where to begin.... let me tell you a bit about me... I am 37...years young.. with 3 teenage children... I took care of my {{{ Dad}}} for the last 3 years he has had a colostomy pouch... with this last year being tough... he had kidney failure, and had to go to Dialysis 3 times a week for 3 1/2 hrs each visit.. I stopped work to take care of him full time. (spend time with him)as of this October he got real sick... tired and could not walk far.. his heart was giving up..he had CPD,, and CHF... only 25% of his heart was working... they said there was nothing more that they could do.. he came home... and Hospice helpped us ... he passed away on Dec 11th 2005 10:35pm with my boyfriend and myself right there with him. This is what has made me decide to become a nurse... it never occured to me... being that I am 37... to "start a New Career" But In my heart I know ... I Can Do IT! I saw the difference it made when we had very nice nurses come in the hospital room and also when we had ones that were not so nice.... ok sorry so long.. I made a promise to myself and to my {{Dad}} that this is what I am to do.. Now I am nervous... I have not had to do math in such a long time... not real hard math... I am stressing and it did not even get started yet.. I have a Nursing Entry Exam... on this Friday..Jan13th. it is like 2-3 hrs long they said.. with reading and math... reading easy MATH i want to scream... I found some links that I do find Very helpful and will use them.. but I think I am trying to do TOOOOO much.. Does anyone else know what to expect on this entry test? Any info... would be Great. Help me through this. Thanks The Rose
