Algebra was very hard for me. However, I made A in both my pharm classes and on Dosages exam's(where you miss one you fail the whole test) every term. Alot of the things you learn in Algebra might not ever come up again with nursing. My advise would be to review your book until next term. Alot of dosage problems can be solved by using the ratio and proportion formula. This is the easiest for me. Look in the book and become familiar with how to do ratio and proportion and I think it will help you once you reach higher levels.
