Haha, nah it is no problem.
I have worked at all levels of government here in Australia, from planning, to environmental sciences, contaminated lands management, to health and development control.
I had to do one year of solid math at Uni (calculus and stat’s), but most of the math in Chem is algebra after that. Use calc here and there.
Funnily enough, I was never amazing at math in school. I had to push myself to get through it at Uni, but once I got it, it stuck.

I hate like hell I’ll have to advance my math and calc and algebra when I return to school I have been thinking of going back I just don’t know what to do. I love being a nurse and I’ll always be one at heart but I’d like to do more not sure what but the math, algebra, calc has always been my sore spot as well.

Math was always really daunting for me, but after some good tuition I found it pretty easy, it is like learning another language really. Once you know a few of the tips and tricks it comes together and can be applied in any way.
The thing that helped me was working through math in real world examples. Actually seeing how the equation applied to something, and how it could be manipulated to look at different aspects of something.
Funny thing is, calculus is simply rates of change.
When your calculating percentages to weight in different bottle sizes of liquids, you are actually doing calculus (to a degree).
