HFCC NSG 155 struggles

No worries. I promise you that test 3 and test 4 are relatively easy in that class. And the final is just everything you've already been tested on so review your tests. You'll get that 80 or above.

You know, I had to re-take 155, and I thought it was the absolute end of the world at the time, but it ended up being the best thing for me! I actually UNDERSTOOD the material this time around, and got a great grade! So, if you do have to re-take it, it is NOT the end of the world! You'll just be that much ahead next year! And believe me, the year goes by FAST! Also, sidenote: my instructor last year (PS) told the class that people that "squeak by" in 155 often end up failing 221.
So, don't give up. Mybrowneyedgirl is right - test 3 & 4: not bad. Keep at it, and whatever is meant to be will be.

Don't you dare give up.

You have two tests left. Quit watching TV. Tell your friends you'll see them after May 8th. Get to like coffee. Stop cleaning your house. You are going to live, breathe, and be that Lewis book.

Turn your phone off and no texting - set aside a SHORT time during the day for this; the rest - the phone is off. NO COMPUTER - that is a time sucker of all time suckers.

IF you don't understand it by now, you are GOING TO 155 BOOT CAMP. You only have a few short weeks left of school - surely you can buckle down and study tour tailfeathers off, then you'll have a glorious 4 months to rest.

The last two tests' worth of material aren't near as dry and crushingly boring as the first two - YOU CAN DO THIS. It's time to amaze yourself. That second test was delayed, and you still did poorly - you must work harder than you currently are now. Don't let anything or anyone get in the way of your goal. YES, the shooting was beyond horrible, but DON'T let it stand in the way of what you are working for. NO ONE could have prevented that - you have to focus on yourself right now. Say a prayer for the families, but sweetie, you have to keep going. The teachers and administration feel horrible, too, but not so horrible they won't fail you if you deserve it. Start punching through whatever it is that's holding you back - not putting in enough study time, self-doubt, lack of confidence - whatever it is, punch back.

You sound as if you're giving up, and we are here to tell you that you still have a chance. C'mon.....get back in the game. Get mad. This is your life - take back control of it.

Alright. I'm done. You have work to do. Log off and start studying!!!

That was the best inspirational speech I have heard in a while. This is why I love allnurses. You can always be sure to find someone who will tell you what you need to know and not what you want to hear!

hfmf, I'm sincerely sorry you're struggling.

I have to ask - how are your classmates performing? How are your grades compared to theirs?

I agree that you should see the dean. There are some problems with that wknd. cadre, and she needs to know about the three different types of instruction you say you are getting. Just keep a cool head and explain your case. Negotiate, don't fight. She's on your side - try and remember that.

Don't give up. It ain't over.

Let us know what happens.

Well technically if you get like an 87 out of 100 you can still pass...I know that would be really hard but you have a chance.

I will say that the final seemed surprisingly easy compared to the rest of the tests. Don't throw in the towel now...take the final and see how you do.

Agree!! Also, test 4: VERY easy! Keep going! You can still do this!!
