- I received a question about math in the program and I wanted to make a quick video that explains what math you'll run into in an LPN program. I know math is a scary thing, but I've gotta say that the rest of the stuff we learn and get to do makes up for it!
This is the only subject that has me in fear 😧
It’s not as bad as you’d think it to be! It’s also not a massive part of the education so the suffering is minimal, lol.
YES! I totally agree. All my life I have tried avoiding doing anything that has to do with math just because of my bad experiences in elementary school. I am looking for a career change. My mom and a nurse at my place of work asked me to try and do nursing, but I have always Said that it wasn't for me, just because of my fear of maths and messing up.
I need to know that I will be okay if I decide to take the LPN program. I am afraid of messing up and getting embarrassed.
Making mistakes is part of the process. That’s why we have assignments, tests, lab simulations, and clinicals. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, especially while you’re still under the supervision of an instructor. I get being scared of it, but they’re something to embrace and learn from. If you’ve got the passion to care for people I believe you’ll make it through!
@@aleciakay1362 Thank you.
Same here that’s why I put it aside for a long time but I need to face my fear and finally I will start my intro to Lvn at the end of this month.
Thank you for all the helpful info ❤
Absolutely! Let me know if there’s anything you would like to know and I’ll try and go over it!
If I didn’t already do lpn math I’d be scared, it’s not as scary as she is making it. As long as u know how to do BASIC multiplying and dIviding you’ll be fine
And pharmacology isn’t really about the drugs, but more so about the side effects, adverse effects, diets (PAY ATTENTION IN NUTRITION CLASS!) patient teaching and if something happens bc of the drug “WHAT ARE U GUNNA DO?!” That’s all pharm is about.
Thank you for your comment! I didn’t mean to make anything sound scary, I just wanted to lay out the math we had to learn which included conversions, fractions, and decimals. My videos are all about being transparent about what I was taught in my program. I wanted to include all of it, not just what is used for the common dosage question.
However, you do need to know what the drugs are and what their purpose is as well. I received a lot of “so what does this do” in clinicals and preceptorship. Instead of learning every single individual drug, I found it easier to go over the suffix that went with each classification.
@@aleciakay1362 I didn’t say that you don’t have to know what the drug does, that goes without saying. Generally, ppl that get to Pharm are typically confused bc they’re so fixated on the drug, instead of what is being tested, which is the things stated earlier.
Thank you for this video! Also, good luck on your remaining of nursing school!! You got this :)
You are very welcome! Thank you ☺️
Honestly, the pharmacy takes care of a lot of those dosage type situations, but they do want you to have a solid foundation of knowledge and understanding of how it works.
So need this taken math in spring 2023
Ty, LPN math is like grade 10 at most possibly grade 11 even then its all Converting/fractions/adding/Everything what you said essentially congrats AleciaKay on becoming a nurse perhaps you will upgrade to RN once u work a few years as LPN?
What school did u go too? Is it in miami fl. Because some school requirements are to pass hesi admission assessment exam
Do u have to have a GED to be able to do LPN program. Because my tech school said that with my nutrition assistant certification that i qualify for financial aid.
Are allowed to use calculator when doing the calculations?
Thank you for your helpful video. I want to go for Lpn but I got usa before 3years ago I am working as phlebotomists right now. i want to ask is that easy to do lpn for me? And I didn’t have major in science when I was in school I am having associate degree in Accounting. What do you think for me can I do? Because Inam really interested to do Lon but scared little bit.
If you are new to the states certain programs have an additional test for you to take, other than that it’s whatever the prerequisites are for the program your applying to. My program required medical math, medical terminology, and anatomy&physiology without a lab. My advice is to do some research in programs and get ahold of the admissions person to get a checklist of what you need. Then you can start working through it.
It will be easy who have some high level school so just go don’t afraid
The math u did in lpn school is what grade in math ?9-12grade math.
exactly my question
Did they allow u to use a calculator? I hope so cause I’m awful at math😩😭
They allow a simple calculator! In school they provided one for us, during the NCLEX there was a pop up calculator on the computer. I never used it though.
I also wanted.to know this secretly.
