Feeling Better After 1st Exam......

Took my 1st exam today. I got 47/50, which is about 94%! We had to take our 1st math calculations test during orientation lol. I was like a test during orientation? LOL! I got 74% I think. You had to get >90% to pass. We have 3 chances to pass the 1st math calculations test or you're going to see the dean. I took my 2nd test and got 95%. Our 1st exam covered 18 chapters. 18 chapters!! From here on out, the study guide has no more than 2 or at the most 3 chapters per competency. I was struggling. It was a lot to take in.

Hang in there guys! Class of 2015! We can do it!

Our instructor told us that it may be that way soon. She told us that most schools require you to get 100%. She said that you can only miss about 2 on the test, but in life that could be 2 people whose meds were messed up. That could also be 2 people that could become very sick or die as a result.

I took a serious deep breath after my exam lol. Our test was in NCLEX style. I had to jump right back in the books because our next exam is in 2 weeks. In nursing school time that's tomorrow lol. It seems like the days fly by so quick. It's just getting us closer to that day though :)

Good Luck on your exam!! Study! Study! Study!
