Hello All Future Nurses of America, I am in my 1st year of nursing school (Dayton, Ohio) and I did not pass the math class. I took the prof. math test today to see if I could test out but failed it also. I have to retake the class which I'm totally fine with but need some help and words of encouragement to go on. I am 41 (and single) and I have to work full-time so it makes going through nursing school even more challenging. I'm not complaining about working, God knows I'm blessed to have a job. I just need to know if someone else has a similar story and could share with me what or how they are/were successful. I do not have young children so I pretty much just have myself to take care of. The math book we use is Calculate with Confidence by Deborah Gray Morris. I have such a difficult time grasping any kind of math concept:banghead:. Any ideas, suggestions, advice, questions greatly appreciated. I almost forgot to mention that I cannot start clinicals (which started Mon. March 30th) due to not passing this math. I will be able to take the math over again in the Fall. Until then, I want and need to continue working in this book so if anyone has any suggested readings or supplements I should look into please let me know. I know I'm going on and on but just need to let this all out to others I know will understand. Part of me want to give up and quit and the other part of me says, "don't do that you've come to far". Blessings,
