End of semester! How did everyone do?

Published

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

Specializes in Behavioral Health/Psychiatric Nursing.

First semester of my two-year program down! I THOUGHT I failed my Nursing Assessment class:

I work night shift, had a final at 4 today and woke up early (2ish) to my phone going nuts. My clinical group was in the group text talking about how final grades were up for Assessment so, anticipating passing I eagerly went to check Blackboard... to find a big fat D (72 percent) on my final grade.

I'm pretty much in the fetal position sobbing and panicking at this point (with a final in two hours!) on the phone with my boyfriend, who tells me to do the math myself real quick, grade weights included, and immediately go to campus to sort it out.

Sure enough, every which was I did the math, my score was between 81 and 83. So I'm still panicking on the Uber ride to campus and praying my professor is even there on the last day of school, and hoping I can find her before grades are finalized through the school on Wednesday.

I find her straight out of a meeting, corner her like a madwoman, and tell her I need to sit down with her IMMEDIATELY. Originally she told me she really needs to go but I'm guessing my puffy eyes and booger nose added a sense of urgency to the situation.

... Five minutes of quick math with her and she realizes she didn't put a quiz grade in, knocking 95 points out of 900 total from my grade. She fixed it. I cried in her little pink office while she apologized profusely, then kind of tried to put myself together before my last final exam (I did fine).

I think I did well in my other classes, I get my final grades on the 19th but other than some residual anxiety about today, I think all is well!

Happy to say I'm officially finished with my first semester! Ended Funds with a B (the worst kind of B...an 89.4 -_-), Professional Nursing Role with an A, and Assessment with an A. I have a split semester next semester (Concepts I the first eight weeks and Maternal/Newborn the following eight weeks) as well as Ethics the entire semester- definitely nervous about that but I'm starting to prep right after Christmas. I had to give myself at least a little bit of time to play the Xbox I've been missing for four months ;)

I'm in school to be a respiratory therapist. This semester I did very well! Got an A in cardiopulmonary Pathophysiology, and an A in Advanced Respiratory care procedures (learning about ABGs, PFTS) . Both classes were tough.

I'm almost done, graduation is in June! Feels great to be on break right now

I just finished my first semester of my ADN program and overall I did well. I enjoyed my clinical and did well on most of the tests. Only complaint is that I got my first A- in my college career (which I know is not the end of the world) so I am a little disappointed that my GPA went down to a 3.95 (had a 4.0 before). The thing that makes it so frustrating is that I missed the solid A by 0.25 of a point. I am looking forward to next semester though!
