do you have to be a straight "A" student to get into the masters program? The one I am in required a 3.2 average with an "A" in certain subjects (only two that I recall). Also an entrance exam with a certain score. I seem to have blocked out the details. Have you talked to the instructor of this one class to see what is required to get an "A"? Focus on learning now. Don't let this frustration cloud your mind. Good luck in meeting your goals.
We have talked to the instructor and she says to read the chapters which we already do. After talking to other instructors they told us we need to talk to other nursing students from other programs to see if they have the same problem. Im not a straight A student by any means but the master program I want to get into is very competitve.
Im in my senior year of nursing school and our class is full of some bright people but no matter how hard we study for a test and know the material in one of our classes no one ever makes an A. Is this the way it is everywhere? It really bums me out because I want to get into a masters program somewhere and it just seems impossible to make an A. I need some feeback from other nursing students please.
:rotfl: I'm also a 2nd year nursing student...we're lucky if we get B's!!!! our ave tests grades are 70's and we're not stupid...lot's of brainy people who study A LOT. There are 35 of us left this semester, hopefully we'll all pass. The kicker is that our school's NCLEX passing rate is way up there -last grad class was 100% pass rate. I've come to the conclusion their tests are harder than the RN exam, so by the time you take the exam, it seems EASY!!! Good luck!!!
