Nursing Math... do not let the math stop you from becoming a nurse ;)

[@LiiSADuH]

This made me feel so much better about nurse math, and math In general. It's the one thing I'm worried about to become an RN.

[@empowern]

Awesome Lisa! I'm so glad to hear that! I really just wanted you guys to know that this was very doable :) Nice to see you again!! xoxo - Caroline

[@LiiSADuH]

***** Thanks for making thse videos, they are really helpful! xo

[@Kusunoky]

Lisa Addams me to. I am RN now. Not working on hospital but math is my main concern because i am bad at it also even more because i am more concerned about wrong dosage in patients...

[@LiiSADuH]

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

[@ericajohnson5604]

I just started nursing a few days ago and have been freaking out over the math. Like you I struggled through high school with math, but this video really calmed my nerves so Thank You!

[@mijjets]

There is no way around the math like anything else you have to practice to get good at it. Last night I passed my College Algebra final with an 80%. It was my fourth time taking algebra and one of the happiest moments I can remember. Someone once said, it's not the destination but the journey..."

[@empowern]

So true Carolyn! Thank you for sharing... This success & many more ;) xoxo!!

[@cynthiamoll9130]

This is a great video! I'm considering nursing school at 44. I think I have a math phobia and that makes it hard for me to push through the blockage, but once I get going I enjoy the process and detail. Crazy but real. Thank you for talking about making mistakes - that's my biggest fear and you addressed it. Thank you for your honesty!

[@apsuel]

Omg thank you for the courage to share this video because I let math stop me for years! But I'm happy to say I'm currently enrolled in nursing school, just started this week! Once again thank you

[@empowern]

Hi Apsu! Your welcome :) Thanks so much for letting me know that it helped!! Congratulations for making it into nursing school!! Such a big accomplishment already!! Looking forward to hearing from you again soon! xoxo - Caroline

[@preciselyavri7944]

THIS is what has STOPPED me year after year after year until i just gave up. Im now 30yrs old and while im scared im going to try again i cant count on one hand how many times ive given up!!🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ I never was good at math and this has stopped me in life soooooo much my parents weren’t good either and my dad yelled and threatened me when i couldn’t get a math problem right or remember when i was a small child in elementary school so my brain is forever traumatized and this fear never went away!

[@dianncotterell5531]

I'm intimidated by math so thanks for the video. I'm currently practicing math so that I can take the collage entry test

[@empowern]

Hi Diann! Glad to hear the video helped you! Keep going and stay focused!! Thank you for letting me know :) xoxo! ~Caroline

[@lisasheppard4961]

Thanks Caroline, I have completed the LPN course and take my NCLEX on the 23rd Aug 2014, then start the ADN to BSN program in October.. Your video's and book have helped a lot. Thanks for always be a positive force.

[@shannonlooper489]

You are the best!!!Thank you so much for being so honest and sharing so much of yourself. I also used to struggle in school and was very hesitant to do nursing but now at 40 I am going back and I'm so encouraged by all of your information and all of your videos. God bless!!!

[@empowern]

Nursing School: “You failed your dosage calculation test...you’re out of the program.” Me: “what are you talking about?! I literally got every question correct” Nursing School: “you didn’t set up every equation exactly like we wanted you to”

[@BELIEVEo0]

Wow, I don’t know how you believe, but God totally used you and this video to speak to me! Math is not a strong suit for me, and neither is science. I recently got accepted to nursing school and decided to put it off for a semester because of the math and the entrance exam I didn’t do as well with the math. You really encouraged my souI . I know putting yourself out there and speaking of weaknesses, downfalls and mistakes is not easy. I am so glad you allowed yourself to do this. You are very humble! I know this video was posted several years ago but it resonates strongly with me. God bless you!

[@sunshinesunflowerz1647]

Totally the same. Studying to retake my entrance exam

Same.

Thank you for sharing your story. I also have a learning disability and had trouble in college math. I freaked out about having to pass a test each semester on dosage calcs. I felt a bit discouraged until I saw your video. thanks!!

Oh good!! So glad to hear that! Just practice a bunch of questions over & over! You can do this!! xoxo - Caroline

[@farmervicheth1819]

After getting injured at work I am looking into going back to school for nursing. I am so happy to find your videos. Thank you for sharing your struggles in school. I have a bachelors degree in business...but school has always been hard for me. I was like a c student in highschool. It prevented me from going to school for nursing cause I kept saying I was not smart. Your just so motivating!!

[@empowern]

Farmer Vicheth Hi Farmer! Thank you so much for letting me know that you like the videos!! We are so much smarter than we give ourselves credit for! It won't be easy... but it will be worth it ;) Looking forward to joining you on your journey!! Much Love, - Caroline

[@iyanaanderson9578]

Wow, you are really amazing. The scariest thing for me about nursing, is the math. But you have fully and completely motivated me. Seeing the struggles that you went through and how far you've come. Thank you so much

[@brandoncue9299]

Thank you so much for this video. I have a learning disability and I am afraid that I won't do good and my mom was a nurse and so I have some experience with the job.

[@1997wired]

Your story is so similar to mine! I've had to take remedial math and it has always been my worse subject. This is my first semester in the nursing program and the dosage calculations and math I'll need to do for class has been stressing me out. Thank you for this video!

[@ann9787]

Math has never been something I was good at. I was feeling a bit scared about how nursing math would be like but I feel better now that I have an idea of how its like. Thank you so much for this!

[@empowern]

Anytime Ann! Thanks so much for letting me know that it helped :) Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Much Love, - Caroline

[@Theediyhunter]

You sound like you lived my life. However look at you now doing awesome thanks for the helpful information.

[@Rx2D]

Seriously, thank you for this video. I've been considering going to nursing school but have felt extremely reluctant because I was never very proficient in math (huge understatement) and only somewhat decent in science. I'm definitely going to do my best to brush up on math/algebra basics before the start of the term. Again, thank you. I really needed to know that it was possible to be a nurse without having a strong background in math. For a long time I figured that math was an innate talent--something some people were naturally good at and others weren't. In hindsight I realize that that was something I convinced myself to believe so it wouldn't bother me so much when I had to put serious effort into something other people breezed through. Once again, thanks!

[@empowern]

[@allisonhedrick4233]

Thank you for this video!! I want to become a nurse and I'm currently a junior in high school but I've been freaking out lately because I'm not the best at math. Your video helped me believe that I can still become a nurse even if I'm not a genius at math! :)

[@reivenwolf]

I love your vids and all the helpful advice you offer! I'm really bad at math too and was worried about it because as a nurse calculating something wrong could be very dangerous. We just blew through pharm and med-math in 17 days! is that normal? We learned the DA calculations and they were really easy, just like you were demonstrating. But I suggest people watch vids on DA calculations before getting into nursing school because even though it's really simple, once you are under the stress of school it will be harder. Just memorize the formula, there are only a couple of things to memorize and you will ace med-math!

[@empowern]

Hi Reiven! So nice to see you on here again! Thanks so much for the comment... I really enjoy making the videos for you :) It is not too uncommon for nursing schools to blow right though this... we didn't spend too much time on it either. That is why I thought some videos could help :) Thanks for sharing some advice for newbies too!! See you soon!! xoxo - Caroline

[@tomaszfalkowski7508]

Same I had learning issues and I was just diagnosed with ADD three mouths ago. I always get tired and wasn't motivated to do stuff and felt depressed and I couldn't stay focused and it was hard for me to learn math and felt like my brain didn't care about important aspects in life. But now I'm on medication for my ADD and everyday I'm getting better and I'm now in nursing school.

i hope you add more calculation problem ie iv and injections..thanks for the encouagement

[@bea_rose]

Hi! I have the same math struggles. I really want to help people and be a nurse, maybe even travel to other countries to help. My problem, however, is that in HS I was an average student but I've never had to struggle or really ever try hard. So now in college, I struggle with determination and self doubt. I am not good at math and science, while interesting, can sometimes go over my head. I do, however, want to help people, especially children. I am finishing my first year of college, any advice on what I should do?

[@ctrimakas]

Thank You so much for your videos! OMG I have the same exact story as you. Had to take so much math to get to the pre-req's. I'm a LPN right now but going into a bridge program to be a RN and I"m so nervous again about the math. Having trouble with conversions.

[@jacquelineblack2866]

How do you work with grams

[@gabrielavalverde5010]

I love your videos thanks for sharing. I am 20 years old and a mother of a two year old and I wanted to be a labor and delivery nurse my whole life. I am trying to get into nursing school. I have one year left of prerequisites. I have the options to get my ADN at the community college or my BSN transfer to a University since I can get both done in four years I wanted to get my BSN, but the only difference is the BSN you take another harder level of math before being accepted. Once I knew that I got scared and wanted to go for my ADN and not try for my BSN. This video has helped me very much I still am scared because I don't know if the BSN nursing school is harder than the ADN program. I have a good GPA because I have been working my butt off, but I don't know if I can do good in Nursing school also because I also have another responsibility. Many people have told me you need a BSN to be in the labor and delivery, Is this true? Thanks again for your videos you inspire me!
