    We'll I realize it isn't the end of the world but I don't wanna have to wait until im 50 years old to attend grad school (not that there's anything wrong with people doing it) because of one (three) C's that I made within one point of a B, and who knows how my other classes will go, my school has a bad reputation of being allergic to A's

    You got a C?!!! Guess you can't be a nurse then.
    Just kidding. You will be fine.

    Listen sister

    I finished Grad school at 50 so go easy there.....do you want us to give you permission to quit? Granted....Quit...so now what are you gonna do?

    Life does not always happen they way we think it will. People live, people die, people get married, get divorced, people have kids, peolel lose kids...NONE of us knows what our future holds.

    So get the ^&% overyourself and figure out what you need to do better and do it, or walk away. The choice is yours.

    Well if thats the case why are you going there? I mean after all the hoops we jump through to get into nursing school dont tell me you were completely unaware of your schools flaws if they are "allergic to A's." If this is the case then you should have chose to go somewhere else, which I'm confused why you aren't at a University anyhow if you are this intent on grad school. Blaming your school is a copout, all schools are hard-big deal. I have children, a home, and a husband to care for and tehy are all well cared for and I'm very close to being a staright A student and a senior nursing student at that. Everyone can make excuses and I never talk about my grades but I'm just using them as an example. I will also say my lowest grade was in my first semester so figure out how to do better if thats important to you and move on.

    I walked into my RN program with a 3.78 and after this first semester of all B's I am at a 3.5 and PROUD of it!

    I have talked to many people in my program that are 3rd and 4th semester students that were the same way...now they are just praying to pass, even if it's with a C.

    Don't be so hard on yourself...

    Oooooooohhhhhhhh! That explains it.... Guys are hardheaded. ;-)



    Honestly, I just think that you need to stop treating nursing as pre-CRNA.

    I understand what you mean, but just like most anything you have goals and you want to try and reach the top first, then work you way down as things happen

    yeah but this is a 9 credit hour class. So it's basically like 3 C's at once
    You really is focusing on the wrong things, your grades.... i got a C just like you...i knew i had to many changes if i wanted to survive nursing school..well i did not focus on my grades..i just studied and quit my job. i got all As and Bs through out my program ..and my last semester...i got my big C...guess what i graduated...proudly,...i have passed the Nclex and just got my first job, iam already enrolled in my BSN program and i will go all the way to be a NP. Nothing will stop me from doing that unless i chose to myself, its determination and you have to stay focused.....stop beating yourself too hard....At the end of the day we all will be nurses and your Degree doesn't even contain your grades. All the best

    I started my program with a 4.0. Suffice it to say I'm now down to a 3.0. Passing was my
    biggest concern, and since I did that, anything else is gravy. I'll worry about getting my
    grades up as a senior next year. Grad school is at least 3-4 years away, because I have
    some $$$ to make first!

    I did learn I was 1 point away from a B in Med Surg II, irritating, but that's life.

    As a nursing student, you will learn you will fail some tests, and you will have to pick yourself
    up and keep on truckin'. It makes you resilient and thankful for the small things.
