B honest, how many B or C students are out there?

[RNIAM]

I posted my B grades and it seems like I am the only one? Am I or are all of you B students out there made to feel ashamed of your grades? It seems lately there has been an aweful lot of talk about being an A student. I was feeling kind of down about the fact that I worked my back side off and the best I could do was a B. Please tell me I am not alone here. I know I can't be but where are all of you? I know as far as averages go in my class of 40+ students only about 8 of them were A's for the semester. Please post so I can congratulate all of the other passing grades as well!

I will post mine. I am finally proud of my accomplishments!

B- Nursing 102

B A&P 2

B+ (last but not least) Microbiology

Anyone else want to share their sucesses here?:)

All my teachers tell the class they would rather have a C student taking care of them then an A student anyday.

This just bothers me that a teacher would say such a thing. Does that mean he/she wishes the A students would purposefully miss test questions? I would think that an instructor would want a competent nurse regardless of their grades.

Shame on that teacher. :nono:

i have a different slant as in still in the prenursing phase. My schools program is SO competitive that people with 3.5 gpa and a mix of a's and b's in their sciences are being turned down! So grades mean a lot to me right now! I am pushing for a 4.0 every semester (hopefully i'll make it) if i somehow don't get in at least my grades will hopefully be high enough to make it into one of the private BSN programs around. (thought they are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive!) Oh well back to studying:o

Mostly Micro C, and proud of it. This intructor must have thought well all wanted to be microbiologist!. currently taking AP I, almost the end of the semester. This has to be the longest drawn out course that I have ever taken. Looking forward to APII? Yah, great. However, I need to bring my sci gpa to at least 3.0, in chicago metro area. The city colleges are pretty competitive for admission!
