As you all know it takes a tremendous effort to get into nursing school and my journey was no different, but now I am questioning if I can actually "do" this.
I love the subject matter, and enjoy clinicals (despite feeling like an awkward fool) but my school keeps making the classes harder and harder, (believe me I know nursing school is "hard") but 14 people failed last semester and the highest grade was a "C")
Every test we have taken this semester the majority of us have failed! The highest test grade last week was a 78%. It's so frustrating to put so much time into something and just barely get by.
I am trying so incredibly hard, but the questions we are being tested on aren't even in the book! How can I ever succeed at this when I feel so defeated already? :(

I totally understand where you are coming from, I recently finished nursing school myself. My suggestion to you would be: ask your teached for help, after/before school study sessions, study more (if possible) and utilize your classmates-everyone has a different way of interpreting information so your classmates may find some of the information easy that may be more difficult for you and lastly PRAY! Good Luck
THANK YOU so very much for your reply I REALLY appreciate it.
I guess I am not only feeling completely burned out- I have such a fear of even being hired as a new nurse once I do(IF I do!) graduate.
I don't want to go through all of this for nothing...you know?
Thank you so much again.
