Keep studying.

Keep studying. If you know your material, your professor's opinion is irrelevant. Ride a bike, ride the bus, take UBER. Getting a B wont necessarily keep you out of nursing school. Good luck!

THIS should not be "freaking you out". There is considerably more ahead to see you through the "freaked out" process.

Study. Get better grades. Your teacher's opinion of you has no bearing on how well you do on a test, does it?

Your car...well, I've got nuthin' for that. Good luck!

Quit school. Find a career with minimal challenge and stress.

I really am sorry that you're having a tough time. However, I cannot describe to you how easy A&P is in comparison to nursing school. Unfortunately, some people don't get into nursing school even if they have B's in A&P because nursing programs are incredibly competitive. In my program, if you don't make 80%, that is an automatic failure of the exam. It's an entirely different level of academic difficulty, and you might want to reconsider nursing if you're having this much trouble now.

At this point the highest grade I can get is B, and my teacher doesn't like me And I'm having car problems (((

So, it would be helpful to have more information. Why are you getting the grades you're getting? Did you miss a test that you can't make up? Did you do poorly on assignments and/or tests? If it's a grade performance issue, why do you think you got that great? Next, what have you tried? And finally, how do you know the professor feels that way about you? Until those questions are answered, I could not give adequate advice. As far as transportation, how close are you to campus, is there a share ride program on campus, and how reliable is the city transportation?

Thank you for the uplifting posts you guys. I appreciate it.

I will try harder.

I was very nervous for a test and ended up missing 2 pages of questions, which is why my grade dropped from an A to a C (this is the second exam)

But thank you guys for the encouragement, I will keep trucking along.

Honestly, your thread screams immaturity in multiple places. I know you're upset. However, telling someone you hope they die because you don't like what they tell you, automatically makes me think you aren't mature enough to do what you HAVE to do to pass the class. Wait and see if you're a nurse...what they said to you? Scat compared to what a pissed off family member or scared patient with dementia can likely say. Are you going to tell them all they're horrible people and hope they die too?

I feel sorry for you. I'm sorry you're not happy with your life or school right now, but college is time to be a grown up. If a B is as high as you can make now because of previous test grades...suck it up, figure out what it takes to do it, and DO IT.

I don't normally comment on posts like this, but I've seen some of your other postings and I have to say- if you want to go into nursing you need to grow a thicker skin. I don't always agree with others posts, but it's an anonymous Internet forum and it tends to be best to just ignore posts you don't like rather than get nasty.

Wow, that escalated quickly.

Life happens. Nursing school is rigorous, and extenuating circumstances are not an excuse for absences or being late to clinicals. Our program allows a certain number of missed hours, but it's not many.

People have all sorts of baggage. You have to learn to work around it.
