Afraid

So my micro professor was the spawn of satan last semester, now I must retake the class because a C wont cut it for me. He knew my mother was sick, and that I was trying my best. I understand you must work hard to get your grades, but life doesn't cut you breaks either. My mother was in the hospital for much of the semester, and I work full time, it's not easy. I know this sounds like a moan and groan post, but does anyone feel me on this?

Now i have to wait another year to apply.

THIS SUCKS:angryfire

I am so sorry . You need to make sure you get the same professor I got last semester, the guy was giving us points left and right. He didn't even get good reviews on ratemyprofessor so I was scared when I ended up with him but he turned out to be easier than the one prof that everyone raved about.

Hmm, looking back through old threads I wonder if we already had the same professor?

Last term I had an A&P teacher who was the same. I was sick, I get sever migraines, well some pain meds I took made me deathly ill. Well after missing one class he had it out for me, he would basically call me a liar about everything down to what page a diagram was on. I am taking the class over but with a different teacher. I hope it all goes well. I don't have the same teacher but I am now terrified of the darn class.

Sorry you got a bad grade, but how is it the teachers fault and really, if you know this isn't the forum to complain, do you do it anyway? Look at it this way, If you were an RN and you gave the wrong dose of medication to a patient because of "away from work distractions", and it killed the patient, do you think you would be deserving of sympathy from the family and or supervisors? Sorry ahead of time if you think this is insensitive, but as you said, " life doesn't cut you breaks". Better you learn in school that distractions can cost you than in the working world.

I wasn't blaming the professor for my bad grade. I didn't expect him to give me more than what i earned. I'm just griping, cuz we all need to let out our frustration somewhere. None of my friends, besides one knows what its like to be in college. My parents for sure have no idea, they're from a country thats stricken by war right now. I apologize if I seem to be acting like a child, as I said before, I'm just letting out steam. I could only assume nursing students could relate. I wasnt looking for sympathy, I know what it takes to be a nurse, and I'm doing my best, but if its not enough, well that sucks for me.

As I said I'm sorry if came across as insensitive. I really understand you when it comes to letting out frustration. My point was instead of letting it get you down, look at it as a situation in school that can give you strength and confidence. I have had a similar event take place in school and after a little bit of feeling down I came to the realization that I'm not perfect and I can't do everything. I know you were not looking for sympathy, and there is no doubt that you know what it takes to be a nurse, and if you keep a positive attitude you will succeed. I just want to let you know however, that if your doing your best, you can't ask for more. Please don't think or let anybody tell you that if you are and it's not good enough, that it sucks for you. Look at any setback as just that. A setback. Not the end of the world. Keep positive and keep focused.

I know, I didn't mean to sound like I was upset with you. It gets frustrating, and I know everyone does during some point. But, thank you for the advice. I'm doing my best to make setbacks, just a setback. I apreciate your comments. thx

If you need the name of an A & P prof who teaches at both WCCCCD and HFCC (credits apply to both) let me know. He is fantastic, not a butt-breaker, and not rude. I know you need micro - maybe he teaches that, too. He gave some extra credit that helped pull people out of the weeds. PM me for the name. It's just not worth spending your valuable time and hard earned dollars on rude teachers. It's one thing to be hard - it's quite another to be an ass about it. Who do they think they are?
