Bad semester...

Nursing Students General Students

Hi all,

It's the the end of the semester and I'm very upset. I didn't do as well as I thought I would and now I'm afraid I won't get a job. I'm a pre nursing student at NYU. This was my first semester because I transferred from a community college. It was a very difficult transition especially when it came to the curriculum. I took 3 classes which are Spanish, chemistry, and philosophy. I have received C's in all three classes. I feel so disappointed in myself and hopeless. I don't know what to think or say at this point.

Please give me me your thoughts. Thank you.

I don't know how getting C's will keep you from getting a job, but they may keep you from getting into a nursing program. Each program has a GPA requirement so take a look at each program you are applying to.

I'm already accepted into the program. I'm just disappointed in the grades I received. I was always a B+ to an A student. I never thought this would happen to me and I worked hard it's not like I didn't do anything. My chem professor refused to help anyone outside of class and wouldn't respond to emails etc.

Specializes in ICU.

Why would it affect getting a job?

If you are already accepted then don't worry about. Just make sure you keep up your grades in nursing school. Nursing school is a whole other ballpark...if you were struggling in pre reqs then you are going to have to try twice as hard now.

Learn from your mistakes and move on. No need to be disappointed in yourself, just make it a goal to do better once you start your program.

Your grades shouldn't have much impact on your job prospects. Just try to figure out what is holding you back and go from there. I believe there is more involved than you transferring from a CC. For most it is figuring out what study method(s) work best.
