Hey guys and gals. Let me introduce myself and give you guys a bit of a background before I begin.
I am a 22 year old male nursing student currently in my 2nd semester. I struggled during my 1st semester, but managed to make it through. The only problem I really had were the exams. I would study almost everyday, but never got anything higher than an 80% in any of my exams.
My second semester has two rotations. Med Surg and Mother baby. Each rotation has 3 tests. So that makes a total of 6 tests. You are allowed to fail only 2 exams throughout these two rotations. I started on the Med Surg side (the harder one), and I just failed my 2nd exam yesterday. You need a 41/55 to pass the exams, but I got a 40/55 on both of them. I am going to review my test this week with my instructor and be put on a learning contract. I just feel so down right now.. I went through the exact same thing last semester and told myself I would never repeat the same mistake again.. but here I am..a few weeks in, and already failing. Fortunately, I do get the option to repeat, but I have financial aid and loans that will get all screwed up if I fail. In addition to that, I have great friends that I made. Well, any encouragement or words of advice would really help. Thanks
