Lets get back to the topic, my teacher has nothing to do with it anymore since I am moving onto Geometry next year. How was math for you?

As for parents, no idea, I don't know the students' parents and how they react to that sort of thing. Mine just accepts it.

If it were anxiety, I would be just fine doing it alone, not tested, with all the time I need, but I still can't do it.

I make sure there's always a calculator in my scrubs for simple math, but I will struggle without a visual conversion chart. But I guess that is something you get used to as a nurse?

Sorry, you're not from Pennsylvania. Keystone exams are graduation requirements which test for proficiency in Biology, Algebra, and English. They are pretty much used to evaluate teachers (not students) and schools to determine if they're worth keeping open.

I'm sure people have, in many schools across the United States terrible teachers get away with things; harming students physically and mentally, not educating and doing their job. I would think if there are so many students failing a class, they would consider fixing it? We also have very low Keystone scores for Algebra 1, I'm surprised we haven't been shut down, only 38% of students passed their first time. I guess being buddy-buddy with the superintendent, principals, and guidance counselor has its perks?

He's terrifying like you wouldn't believe, he made three girls cry by just yelling at them. We're in high school.

I actually feel bad for my class, he made a point at the end of the year that almost all of us failed. He gave up on teaching us. Threw his book on the ground and said "I'm done, you're all going to fail in life". That kind of attitude in a teacher scares me. As for tutoring, I cannot stay past school because I have a job that I always work from 3:30 to 10, and school is out now. I will be moving on to geometry next year. For online content SOME subjects are extremely different from what I learned in class, such as learning different details in class which I cannot find online. It happens quite often on subjects that are complicated. I do have all my notes from Algebra 1 & 2, I hope on cutting back on my work hours so I can have some time to study.

Been there, done that. Having a teacher who hates their job makes it less helpful. It seems in high school they want to teach you the hard way to prepare you for the easy way, and then they never teach the easy way. Why couldn't they just teach the easy way first?

I'm actually looking for an ASN program, I studied hard and I never seemed to grasp the concept.

Hello, I'm 16 years old and my dream is to be a registered nurse with a specialty in either forensics, psychiatric, or women's health. Overall, I would say I have a high intelligence in every subject except for math, I may even go as far to say I have a learning disability when it comes to it. My weakness is so strong sometimes I have to use a calculator for simple division, multiplication, addition, or subtraction. At work I can take a 30 minute break starting at 4:43 and it can take me about three minutes to figure out when to get back. I almost failed Algebra 2 this year, I cannot remember my grade in Algebra 1 from last year, but it was very low. In my medical class I take as an elective, I am very good at it. I understand anatomy, biology, pathophysiology, infection control, patient care, etc extremely well, even better than all of my class, I may have the highest grade there with a 97%. Even in my basic high school classes I have A+ to B+ in all of my grades, nothing lower, except my Algebra 2 grade, which was a failing grade for 18 weeks, I passed for the year by two percent. My question is, can I still be a nurse while I am terrible at math? I am terrified to think my weakness could potentially end a life.

I would like to move to Canada for love, I'm just concerned my desired career won't work out there since it's different.

Would a USA, Pennsylvania; LPN be the equivalent of a CAN,Ontario; RPN? I'm having a tough time deciding between moving to Canada or not because I would not want to go through more education.

If I immigrate to Ontario, Canada, will my CNA license from Pennsylvania be valid?

I do something similar to dual enrollment, my school offers a three part medical program elective, medical I, medical II, medical III. I will graduate with some certifications. A lot of schools are beginning to offer these classes, we are also starting to have engineering which right now is a two part. I use a lot my free time to learn specific things that my medical class doesn't teach, like starting an IV and dosage calculations. Make sure you explore specialties and health careers other than nursing!
