A Success and Failure

We had our first tests this week in Nursing. I have 2 nursing classes, one has a lab, one has a clinical, so I guess its kind of like 4 classes. We had tests in our lecture portions this week and the test were on back to back days. I got a A in one class and flunked the other one. By flunking I mean a 85 is the passing requirement and I got a 82. :no:

I know I didnt miss it by a whole lot, but its the first failing mark I have received in like 3 years and I have a 4.0 GPA, so it was kind of a blow to the system and my self esteem. I dont do bare minimums and I dont flunk. I was devastated.

I know I will just have to focus harder on the next one, but for today, I just feel like crap. :banghead:

Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone. I felt bad about it for the day, but Im over it now. Especially when I found out course average was a 76. I did bad but it could have been much worse. I also know that I did not study as hard for this exam as I did for the other I got a A in because we had them both in the same week back to back. I focused more on one exam and kind of neglected the other, so that was my fault. I will make the needed corrections and do better next time. Im lucky that I have pretty awesome professors so far who really go out of their way to try and help the students do well, so I have no complaints on that end at all. It was all on me, and Im confident I will do better.

Thanks for lifting my spirits guys!
