Hi my name is Lori and I have been lurking here for a while and I really love this site. I am 35 years old and the mother of 3 girls. I have wanted to be a nurse for a long time but I was just to scared to do it. Well this year I turned 35 and decided it was time to do something for me. (I have been a housewife and mother for the last 12 years) So I enrolled in college. so i can start pre reqs for the rn program. today I took the accuplacer and despite a whole month of constant studying I failed the math test. not a big suprise really. I have always been horrible at math. I did pass everything else. so I guess its not that bad I have been out of school for 20 years. so anyway I guess I will have to take a remedial math course, however I will not let that stand in my way . I will get through the math somehow. I am determined to make my dream a reality
