Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my story of frustration and ask for any advice about what I should do.
I am currently enrolled in a 4 year BSN program. In 2 weeks, I will start my first semester of my last year. So basically I'm a senior. I'd say I've done okay but I am definitely not an excellent student. I've done well in some classes but I am really not proud of the marks I've gotten in my main nursing (not prerequisite)classes like labor and delivery, psychiatric, medical-surgical clinicals. I have earned passing marks... just C's... Just enough to get by. I have felt this way for a while and I've done my best to improve it but I haven't improved much. I've brought my nursing care class grades from a C+ to a B-. I'm going to try my best in my last year but it seems like this is all I am. An C student. I've dreamed of working in the ICU after passing NCLEX and going on to graduate school but now I feel like maybe nursing is not for me but its way too late to start over. Instead of looking forward to the future ahead of me, I just look back at the mistakes I've made and dwell on them. Has anyone else felt this way?
