Med Surg is nearing and we will begin in a few weeks now I am sooo sick of people telling me " I get 90's on all my tests and I am lucky to get a 70 in Med-Surg !" ARe you serious?!!! Should I quit now because I am a B student with A's every now an then...Do I have a chance in this class or probably not I cant believe how people are telling me this I feel like maybe I should quit now rather than fail out because I will be disgusted with myself!!!! But I am not a quitter type of person so IDK I am totally nervous for this!!!! AnY suggestions or personal experiences please :uhoh3: thank you all !! :redbeathe

Hey you have a great shot. I know this because i have given up befor and found that the same students in my class got a 90 or better on all the test also only memorized the material where as i retained some of it because i went back and had a place to see what i didnt know. Out of the class i was in the people with the highest grades still dont have a job. Its the people with the lower grades from my experience who got the JOB. Now i cant speak for everywhere but i am going back to school in July and am so excited. But dont give up....... Keep going you know what your doing. Remember C equals nurse...

Don't give up!! The one sure way to "fail" is to give up. And don't listen to anyone else. They are not YOU! You can do it. I too am a B and A student but I have a friend who has not done quite as well but she studied and I told her and she told herself that she could do it and she made the highest test grade of the class on one of the hardest test. You too can do it. Just read each question carefully and think like a nurse. But the most important advise I can give you is to pray.

I won't start school until May but from what I've heard from my friends that have been through school 90 is a good grade. I did hear Med Surge was hard, but that no one in their class failed out of it...

We have to have an 81 average in each course to pass, so if I make 90's on all my tests then I'll be estatic :D

I know that some of the subject matter is harder than others but that just means you have to give it a little more effort and study harder for that subject. If you tell yourself you are going to do badly then you set yourself up for failure...You have made it this far, don't let Med Surge discourage you:nurse:

Now with that being said I may be on here in a few months saying the same thing seeing as how I've never been through Med Surge...LOL.. Hopefully you will be here to tell me, "Hey, I made it through it and you can too!"

Good Luck with your schooling and I'm sure you'll ace Med Surge ;)

The passing grade is an 80 in my school program. If you fail more than 1 class, you are out of the program.

Sounds like you are doing fine, why so worried?

I hear people who make it all the way to med-surg and then they fail out of it and OMG I CANT let that happen ya know I guess when you really want something you think the worse may happen but yet you work your hardest so that it doesnt and in the end you worried for nothing lol
