I finished my first semester of nursing school today!

I'm hoping I'm coming out with at least a 3.3... may be higher, but I'd be surprised. I am actually amazed at how well I did do. I'm not a tester and all of our scores were based on tests. To add to the stress, 2 of my instructors write for the NCLEX. My pharm class was a killer... average grade was about 75... but I ended it with an 85 on my final, an 83 for the course. Most people beg the instructor for the C. I am so relieved!

I got a strong A in health assessment, hope to have pulled an A out of fundamentals... might be a high B though. I'm just so relieved to be done... and to have kept my GPA high enough to keep my scholarship. WOOHOO!!

Oh, and tomorrow I have a reservation for a lady pamper day at the local beauty college. I'll get a 45 minute facial massage, hair do, finger and toe nails. OOOHHH, that will be soooooo nice!

Good luck to the rest of you studying for finals!:)

Something to remember is a C is still part of normal on the bell curve and a C or better for most schools rings the bell. Nice to hear that you feel accomplished, that will make next semester a bit easier.

Way to go, Kid!

Two things to remember:

1 Now you start to learn how to be a nurse.

2 The patient in the bed in front of you doesn't care if you got an A or B in Nursing 101, he only wants to know if you can help him.
