I just took at test, and got a 76. That's ONE POINT above passing. That's the worst grade I've ever gotten in nursing. Blah. I'm irritated.

it is more frustrating to get one point below...there will be days like this . don't lose sight of the ulltimate goal

It will be okay. Just hang and there and keep focused.

It could be worse

I just graduated and one of my classmates missed graduating by TWO points. So thank your lucky stars that it is just one test and not worse!

Been there and know how much of a bummer it is. Keep focused on your goal and good luck with the next test!!

When I started nursing school I came in with a 3.5 GPA. I was used to getting High A's or just barely a high B on all my tests, mind you, thats with a degree in chemistry and one in biology.

Nursing school has turned me into a flat out 3.0 student, and I have learned to just roll with the punches! Do your best, keep your nose to the books and I wish you all the luck! Dont get bummed with just one low grade.

Man I know how you feel--try as I might I cant seem to get the A's I got before nursing school. Sometimes I had to remind myself that the end goal was still in sight and not to get hung up on grades.

Blah.

I am so excited and drained at this point a 76 sounds good. Coming from an over achiever like myself..........well, that sums it up

It stinks and I can't agree with you more. Thank God it's passing-keep your head up

I came in to my ADN program with a STRONG 3.8 GPA (after a bachelor's and numerous other credits).

I am holding with a strong 3.0 for my first 2 semesters. I got below passing on one test each my first and second semester. I was just happy to know that when averaged out, I could pretty easily maintain my "B".

It's easier on my sanity that way and I've let go of the notion that I have to be a 4.0 RN graduate. I am happy having a life while I am in school and not making myself, my family, and my friends all nuts along the way!!
