I know it's the end of the semester, but I worked my butt off to study and had a 80% before the final. Finals week included 4 exams within the span of 4 days and I didn't study the new material as much as I should have-I was so stressed and worried, I was focusing on each exam in order of me taking them. Fast forward to use getting our grades, I made a 56% (113/200 comprehensive exam), and I'm scared because that dropped my total grade to a 71.5% and I need a 73% to pass. Only 9/92 students passed the final exam, and more than half the class failed in general. This is my first time EVER getting a D, and I am so frustrated because in my program, you get 2 failures and they kick you out, no chance for readmission into the program and last year, I failed Fundamentals because I was late twice to clinicals due to my hectic work schedule. I have to support myself financially and have two jobs to do so and go to school full-time. I can't fail this class because of this..I sent her an email asking if I could do an extra assignment for two extra points (I heard from a previous cohort that she'd done this for a few people close to passing...please, no judgment ). I guess I'm just freaking out and feeling very sad and depressed in general...I'm 23, and I would have to start over at a new school if I still want to be a nurse. I really, really want this and I guess I'm just looking for some encouragement/wisdom from the nursing community. I know what my passion is, but it seems like there's always something holding me back and I'm really starting to wonder if maybe God has other plans for me.
