Just failed my first exam in nursing school.

Hey everybody,

I'm a fourth semester nursing student, I graduate in August, and I just failed my first exam in nursing school.

It's Population-Based Health Concepts, and I'm super interested in it and engaged in class. I got to the test and felt like I knew absolutely nothing that was on the exam. My professor's outlines didn't prepare us at all, as they consisted of on-word headlines from her powerpoints and most of the in-class content was anecdotal.

On top of that, this teacher (apparently) does not listen when questions are argued, and there were several that I felt like I could argue.

I dunno, I'm really frustrated and afraid right now. We have 3 exams total in this class including the final and the average exam total needs to be above 76%. I just got a 66%.

Just venting.

Hey, I share your frustration girl. I too am a fourth semester student. I failed my OB and Peds test last week (72%). I believe that was my lowest yet. If she's not going to throw out any questions, unfortunately you'll take to accept it. How long did you prepare? Do you have test anxiety? Have you scheduled to meet with her yet? The meeting may help you understand her rationale and maybe you could gain some study tips. Best of luck and it'll work out. Don't give up!
