Are Bs in nursing school really that good?

[HeartsOpenWide]

I got all B's this semester. It is my first semester in nursing school and at a State College (I just transfered from a JC). I had all A's for my pre-requs(other than the B is stats) when I returned to school and was more serious (had a few C's from when I first started college when I was right out of high school and did not care about school) I know people say that B's are good in nursing school, but it seems like every one else is getting better grades than me. I know you are not supose to compare yourself to other students, but I don't want to be the worst student in class...does any one else feel like this? Or an I just the class dumb dumb?

in our school, a B is a great grade. It is very hard to get a B. The A's are 92% and above.. Not many A's in nursing classes. If you are trying your hardest then you should be content with your grade. If you know you can do better than you have the opportunity to do better! I wouldn't be ashamed of a B. They make it hard so that not everyone can get A's!

Turns out I did get one A-. Rest wereB+, and a B. (Solid 'A' requires a 94%) So I feel a little better. I am just concerned about keeping my GPA up because I want to eventually become a midwife and I hear you have to have at least a 3.0 and I have a 3.5, but I imagine it will not take too many C's to drop that down...and we start pharm next semester YIKES:idea:
