I was taking Microbiology this summer and dropped out because of a couple different reasons one of which I needed to up my hours at work because my husband will be loosing his job next month and I just couldn't keep up this summer. I was going to school and work at night and I was so exhausted I was physically sick. ONe had to go and that was Micro. I felt so bad about it because I would have started my clinicals in the Fall semester had I passed that with a "C". It was within reach and I let it go until Spring.
I had to change some of my Fall classes and my advisor and I had a meeting. I was told that I had to take it in the Fall. I requested that I not have the same professor because of the way she teached. She had her notes one power point and they was her own notes not from the book. I couldn't understand her notes but I fully understand the book. If her test was over the information in the book I would have been fine but it wasn't. I told my advisor this and she said that if I want to be a nurse that alot of the nursing courses aren't out of the book asnd that I might think about doing something else. I don't want to do something else, this is my dream.
I agree with everyone above. If they tell me I cant, then I DO!
It's you against your advisor.... YOU Alone hold your destiny in your hands, dont let an advisor tell you what you CANT do, PROVE HER Wrong!
As a rule of thumb here, we take what ever the advisor says w/a grain of salt... After they give us their pro opinion, we go get another one! Seriously. Way to many of my college friends *including me* have been given the screws from one.
Hon, if you want to be a NURSE, then be the best one you can be. You need to live LIFE now, that means working more hours to survive. You can take Micro another time!
