I'm a emotional wreck.
I'm a 1st semester nursing student and I already feel like I'm failing. As someone who has a passion for healthcare, I'm feeling my goal is not going to be acheived..why? Because I don't have the skills to take a ***** mc test. It feels like everyone's future and career is based on these damn tests (way to weed out ppl and take their money?), and I hate it. Those who are pros at mc tests will have no problem in nursing school or any program, while those who don't will even though they work hard and put in the efforts will suffer.
I'm sick and tired of spending every single of my time working and studying, preparing exams and at the end not get the results I want. I got advice from my instructors and from academic support, I manage my time efficiently, I work to understand the material, but when I spit it out back on the test, it never shows. I thought I did so well on my last test to only find out I got a 74
I'm on spring break and I got a letter this week saying I will be on a warning...just in time. It ruined my mood and my motivation to get ahead. I was planning to go home and enjoy time with family at a get together but I have to miss b/c I have to study to freakin pass. Yes, while everyone is out enjoying a break from studying, I'm stressing out b/c I'm paranoid about failing out of the program. I'm already preparing for the Hesi finals, which I probably will bomb at the end. I have this feeling I will be dismissed from the program at the end of the semester not because I don't have the potential to be a nurse, but because I don't have the skills to take a freakin mc test that I guess tests if you will be a good nurse or not. My parents are deep in depression, I'm trying to stay positive, but discouragement keeps coming my way. I'm a very patient person but I'm breaking apart this week. There's no way I can get back on track and get a descent career after this...there's no money. I don't know what to do anymore.
