So I got my grade yesterday for med surg passing is an 80 my teacher gave me a 79. I am completely and utterly devastated. Some say I should talk to her others say if she felt I deserved it i would be passing. Asked if I could talk to her she said I could but don't know if I will be wasting my breath. She rounds up from .4 so if she gives me a 79.4 she can round to an 80 in my own fairy tale world :) My mid term grade I wasn't doing too hot she asked if I was gonna drop I decided not to n turned my grade around can I get a .4 for making a effort n giving it all I had(literally) if she only knew. Feel terrible that I have to sit out 9 months re do the agony of med surg for 1 point. Do yall think its worth talking about...just feeling lost any advice will be greatly appreciated....Thanks guys

Talk with your instructor, it can't hurt. If that doesn't work, talk to the department head. I am sorry this happened but don't let it end your nursing dreams. If you need to try again in 9 months, so be it. Good luck

Thanks I think Imma go talk to her n see what happens. Feels like a dream can't shake this feeling smh. I don't want sympathy but I want/need/hope for the 1 point because I never gave up n I did my very best to pull myself out the whole. I would have rather failed with like 9,points away then one. I'm just gonna hope for the best hopefully I can go to the summer sessions n then it will be just 5 months....thanks for listening

I was dropped from my last program for not passing med-surg by 1/10th of a point one week before we were to graduate! I tried talking to the instructor, dean, director and they would not change the grade or allow me the chance to retake the final! I was devestated, had a major meltdown, but picked myself up, dusted myself off and now at a different school pursing my LVN and doing alot better there (getting A's & B's instead of C's) than in my last program. I am a honor student and finding that there was so much we did not learn at my previous program. The tests are way harder also than previously, but this keeps me focused on studying and trying to learn.

Best of luck to you!
