End of semester

My first semester ended a little over a week ago and I finally found the courage to make this post. Through the ups and down the end of the semester has finally arrived. Should be happy right.......well wrong. Found out tht I did not pass a&p by, get this, 2 points! I failed by 2 points! Yea tht hurts. I managed to maintain above passing all semester and to get to the end to find out I failed. I was heart broken, didn't think it was real. My grade on a T-shirt project was not good enough for me to pass. I did everything the outline said to do. All body systems, color, labeling, everything...yet I made an 86 on my shirt which dropped my grade to 2 points below passing. For a few days I was so done with school. There was no way I could bring myself to going back. After talking with my best friend, who is already a LPN, I've decided tht I'm gonna go back next semester. Since spring semester was my semester off, I won't lose any time and will still be with my class. Disappointed in myself but I kno wht I'm facing thus time around and believe me I am very prepared!

    There are going to be a lot of challenging times ahead. Find a good support system. Remember to count, seriously, count the reasons you want to be a nurse when you get mad or discouraged. Dont quit!

    Thanks! I guess I was so overwhelmed with the fact of how close I was to getting out of tht class I let it get the best of me. I had to realize tht taking it over next semester isn't going to set me back. Over class was told tht the school was not going to offer nutrition next semester which sets us back and spring was going to be an off semester. So I'm not getting behind..thts the good thing. I have my focus lens on and I'm ready to knock it out of the park this time. Are u in the program or finished?

    NCLEX wasn't horrible. You will walk out feeling like you failed. It's completely normal! I had the time to mentally prepare myself for that feeling and have my support system lined up for me to call.
