Not good. Third semester in ADN program. I got a B in psych nursing, disappointed because I missed an A by a 0.5 point. Still I'll gladly take a B. However, I failed Med Surg II. Finished with 74.38 and our passing cutoff is 76. I had to file a request to return to the program and retake the class in the Spring. I just got approved.
I definitely don't want this to ever happen again. The biggest disappointment is that with 3 semesters together and only 8 of 19 of us making it through the first year, we had really formed a bond and I am pretty down about not being in that cohort and graduating with them.
Still, I know what I need to do to pass and the group I'll be in is good too.
Finished my 1st semester with an "A" in Nursing Funds and a "B" in pharmacology (89% grrrr!).
I really hope clinicals are better next semester with med-surge and ob/peds. This first semester we hardly got to do anything we were cleared to do. And we had a clinical ratio of 8 students to 1 instructor and our teachers were engaged. I had to pester RNs at the facilities until they would let me give a shot or do much of anything besides take vital signs.

Whew! Semester is over! I hope everyone did well! I only had 2 nursing classes as all my gen ed's were done. Got A- in both. Kinda bitter I didn't do as well as others in my class, but I have a chance to try next semester! I don't even know what to do with some of this "free" time hahaha
