Failing LPN school

I am just about to wrap up my full year of LPN school but now I am getting the worse grades ever.

Published

Specializes in Geriatrics.

I am getting the worse grades I have gotten throughout this entire program in Med Surg two class.

I have a 55, 60 and a 77.

77 is considered passing.

I am studying how I have been all along throughout this program. The professor I have doesn’t focus on the lengthy chapters he assigns for reading, he will typically make a test 80 percent of topics that weren’t covered in those assigned chapters, 20 percent of what he said to read.

Help!

What do I do?

i have a midterm on Tuesday and my grades are going from bad to worse.

Should I just give up?

This is my last nursing class

I’m currently in Med Surg 2 as well and I struggled more in MedSurg 1 what saved me is this YouTuber called NurseSarah.. She has an abundant of videos over different topics.. I would watch her videos on the topic being tested and also watched how to answers NCLEX style question videos on YouTube BEFORE EVERY SINGLE TEST until it sticked and my grades DRASTICALLY improved I was able to pull my grade from a 62 and ended Med Surg 1 with a high B average and I’m using this very same tactic in Med Surg 2 and doing well. Oh and if you have a habit of taking notes while you’re reading..STOP.. at least it worked for me..wish you the best of luck ❤️

Inspiring!

You are giving me hope.

I took Med Surg one and found it easy.

Med Surg two the challenge is that my professor doesn’t really test on the chapters he assigns for reading.

Only 15 questions will come from the chapters he assigned for reading, and the rest of the 50 questions will be random areas from different chapters he decided to target and put on a test.
